Who's head did he blast it up to in that game?
He definitely asked for Townsend lol lol

Theyre clearly Benitez signings.
He should do...
Townsend he had at Newcastle
Gray linked to Newcastle several times when Benitez was there
Begovic who knows but id wager a Benitez signing
If we are clearing the decks of Bernard, Iwobi and Sigurdsson and bringing in one top signing on the right...
...theres going to be a huge dropoff from starters to subs.
Richarlison OFF / Gray ON
Thats horrendous.
I think we're going to try and cull a bunch of players:
Keane/Mina
Kenny
Gomes
Sigurdsson
Iwobi
Bernard
Delph
Tosun
Bring in Begovic / Gray / Townsend as backup.
CB / RB / RW to come in as starters.
Id like to know what the FFP situation is if we do that. Do we need to breakeven this AND next season or can we splash the cash next summer due to these dealings?

so what you are saying is your best excuse for the burst Spanish knacker maybe finishing just inside the Top Ten this season is that he's starting with a £507M Squad and adding to it?

Let's be very direct about this one:
This is not a half-billion pound squad, irrespective of what was spent to build it.

After he’d relegated them and Spurs were on the beach
man city beat us 5-0 when they were on the beach
also benitez took over newcastle 2 months before their season ended when they were virtually already relegated

Zat mate, there is a huge drop off now, what has Bernard accomplished while at the club? sure in Ukraine he might have been decent, but he is not cut out for this league no matter how much anyone wants it. He is on circa £120k per week, and probably got a £5m signing bonus cos he was on a free transfer.
We are bringing Gray in on about £55k and paying £1.5m. He is quicker and probably more impactful and ready for this league. Sure its not Richi, and sure its not a huge jump in quality, but I would probably happily have a bet with you he will do more this season then a Bernard would.
Am not even getting started on Iwobi.
By reducing money we pay weekly and freeing up the wage bill, it gives us much more wiggle room to bring in players to improve the first eleven players, I don't see whats hard or wrong about that. We are still dealing with serious mismanagement and contracts which are huge, this is being put right, and about time.
Once we cull those players, bring in players who can do the same if not better jobs on smaller wages we can start pushing the quality of players we can bring in.
It's not horrendous, it's probably good business when you take emotion out of it.

They were a point behind 17th with a game in hand and ten games to play. And got relegated with a game to spare.
he had 10 games to save newcastle and went unbeaten in their last 6 games including a draw away to man city and liverpool
his first game in charge was away to eventual champions leicester city and he lost 1-0
i don't know how much more he could have done to try and save them from relegation in such a short space of time

Get one more point than Allardyce did with Sunderland. He didn’t.
Thing is, they weren't 'virtually already relegated ', they were a point off safety with a game in hand.
Yes, they were in the relegation mix but, still had every chance of surviving.
