More relevant in the next 2 years? Benitez or James

[messymascot]

James could have had an impact this season but it was decided we would rather just end up with a wafer thin squad. Unfortunately I think Benitez will take us back to the Walter Smith years. Not likely to get relegated but a top half finish will be celebrated like its 1999. If James had just played 25 games I bet we would have won 15-18 and he would have had an impact in most of them. Unfortunately it will be Benitez who has more relevance to us as he takes us backwards.

 

[BiggyRat]

We would've been better off with Clive James...and he's dead!

James is a beautiful, intuitive player who best serves an open, flowing team, which EFC currently is not. As such, losing him is more an aesthetic than a practical loss.

 

[Death]

Where's the cheese option?

Both these guys will be irrelevant to me within a year or so.

Good stuff yanks. What can you tell us of the longevity of our kopite manager? You spent 24 hours as one so your knowledge on this matter is valued.

 

[barneygumble]

No player is bigger than our club. We’ve bounced back from worse.

Benitez actually wants to manage us, whereas James didn’t.

James went running to Qatar at the first opportunity.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Where is the Potter option?

Bouncing Ballsack Benny will be long gone with millions in compensation in two years. He'll be managing Tranmere by that point, because he "gets" the people so much ...and they are local.

 

[Street end man]

I'd have to go Benitez, he won't miss as many matches through injury and will earn his money fairly

 

[Thomasc]

Benitez - stop gap (no idea for what though)

James - very good footballer but more of a brand and not the sort of guy you can rely on, we can’t afford luxuries.

 

[Eggs]

…neither are particularly relevant now.

 

[radiostar]

James hasn't been relevant since 2014.

 

[UptheTofees]

James hasn't been relevant since 2014.

made Bundesliga and la liga teams of the season

 

[blulouie]

Ones a global superstar and the other is an exotic alladyce. FSW will only still be relevant in the eyes of the delusional geordies

Got to admit he's doing a great job of turning us into Newcastle tho.

He'll sign Almiron & Longstaffe next , but he'll get us promoted from the Championship so alls good.

UP THE TOFFEE MAGPIE'S.

 

[blulouie]

James hasn't been relevant since 2014.

Most relevant creative player for us last season.
Super relevant at Anfield.

 

[wainy]

So who will it be fellas?

the recycled manager that keeps getting jobs because people keep getting fired or the injury prone player with terrible decision making

Nobody cares

 

[PaddyJames]

If James was that good why did no one else want him? He's a luxury player and as proven with arsenal and ozil and us with James. These kind of players don't work in the Prem

Agreed.

Ozil was a better player than James at their peaks though.
