2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Daniel Gardner]

He got rid of James to play Rondon. That's our manager. Went out of his way.
All I need to know.

 

[windymiller]

Wins change minds.

Early aprt of the season underlined that. The blow hards were down to a slim minority.

Never rule anything out in football.

Been a while since one of them, Dave. When do you reckon we'll get our next one?

 

[Efcjake]

We won't go down with Benitez.

But someone else automatically means we go down?

Reform your opinions infidel.

 

[steven]

this is nonsense. ask the Geordies whether he relegated them they will laugh in your face. They are desperate to reappoint him.

He did relegate them though…??‍

 

[Kev50]

You would go down on him though.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think we should pay off Benitez and appoint Frank offing Lampard. There, I've said it.

 

[blue to the bone]

But you're complaining about the spending. You think Benitez would've went for Rondon if he were managing PSG?

He's not at psg. So its irrelevant.
I'm not complaining. You said we should spend big in January. We can't. Simple enough

 

[windymiller]

Dont be naive. He's here for the cash. He's mugged you and a load of others off for years.

Whereas Benitez is here because if you cut him he bleeds blue.

 

[BlueToff]

The board wont sack him unless absolutely necessary for 2 reasons:

1. FFP

2. No decent replacement mid season

Dont be naive whilst we are 5 points above the bottom 3 they'll be thinking "1x scrappy win and we're 8 points safe and secure".

Just because fans arses are all going like the clappers doesn't mean the boards are who are just not emotionally invested like we are.

I don't think manager pay offs have any impact on P&L rules mate

Good analogy m8

 

[Tubey]

well no, we just hire a better manager. Now, I don't have faith in the jokers to do it I'll agree there, but honestly, it wouldn't be hard to improve on Benitez mate. It really, really wouldn't. Look at the state of us.

Any manager we hire will probably get results January/February due to the easy fixture list before City in Feb, exactly as Benitez will do if he isn't sacked. He'd then 'hit the wall' when reality hits home and we go on more bad runs from March onwards, followed by a bit of a boost in September as the players can be arsed playing football for a few weeks, followed by another abysmal run and the fans calling for the sack by December/January.

Night follows day. If people can't identify the patterns by this point, there's no helping them, but personally I can predict pretty much game on game exactly what's going to happen. Because these players are cowards, and until you stick it out with one manager, even if it means short term pain, we're going to keep resetting the board and ending up with the same thing happening, over and over again.

Unless we're nailed on for relegation, sticking with the manager is the right call. It has to be. The alternative has got us to where we are today.

who keeps us up then?
let me guess, this is where you go all coy, and say it's not your job to appoint the manager.

Ammmmmm. He did relegate them .
Ask the Mackems

But he did though.

They're welcome to him. On a free soon.

 

[BlueToff]

Because the Geordies love him because he called out Ashley and blamed all of his shortcomings on their crap owner. He'll do that with us. Doesn't mean he's a good manager.

 

[Zezti]

We won't go down with Benitez.

We've been rolled over by Watford, beaten by Brentford. I'm not confident in our ability to beat any other side, except Norwich.
