If he does want to work hard, then why can't he work hard trying to do what is being asked of him? Okay, he may be asked to dumb down his forward runs but his form before Benitez was on a downward slope anyway. His crossing, set pieces and FKs had died out of his game. So the only person he should be upset with first is himself before he can take issue with the manager. I don't like approach my Operations Manager takes in half the decisions which affect my work, but hey I am not gonna use being 'ill' as a reason to not come to work just to make my point. You're paid a decent sum to do your job, so is Digne so if you think you're better than what your boss asks of you, then the boss has every right to make his authority clear and discipline you, just like Arteta did with Aubameyang. Plain and simple.

And likewise Digne can't take issue with the club if a new LB is signed. If he is motivated enough to prove the manager he's still the player we know he can be, then he'll fight for his place and keep the newbie on the bench. If not, then he will be move on.

This is all a totally different point though mate I'm not disagreeing that Digne might have handled the fallout badly I'm just saying it seems unfair to say that he didn't want more to be expected of him which is what you said in the first place.

Come on the season behind closed doors you just compare that to this season also we didn't have the injuries we have now and in reality we finished 10th hardly pulling up trees

Do you think we get anywhere near 59 points this season though? It would have been top 8 in all but one of last 20 seasons. And yes he had injuries as well.

It was behind closed doors for everyone, not just us. So it's not like we gained an unfair advantage over others.

I' agree with a lot of what you say I just think the squad is definitely weaker this season and also there's a lot players who need shifting I guess all I'm saying I'm not sure sacking him will achieve anything maybe judge him after 18 months in but that's just my opinion

I dunno, his last post in the Dalian thread went on a bit.

No, this wee critter feels familiar. Can't quite put my finger on it.

He’s deffo been here before, or he’s one of those weirdo Newcastle fans who’ve been popping up lately that are obsessed with Benitez. Special K has a very distinctive style though, he’s dreadfully boring but also very condescending and arrogant, I don’t get that from Legend. He just seems a bit of an oddball.
 
I just saw a Facebook ad and it was a video about all the players who fell out with guardiola such as yaya toure, eto’o, ibrahimovic, ribery, sancho etc

I’ve seen a lot of abuse directed at Benitez because of his apparent ego and him falling out with Digne.

But if the best manager in the world is capable of falling out with high profile players then surely it can’t be that bad. Maybe Digne and Benitez will patch things up and become friends again.
 

Benitez is here to stay for a long time in my opinion.
I don't believe he is under any pressure at the club and has probably cemented his place even more since his appointment.

I am not sure where that will bring us but I think people need to realise that it is the case.

we get bounced by Burnley on 26th and you think he's 'cemented'? cloud cuckoo land im afraid.

the only cementing going on is us, in the bottom 6.

Could be a red.. could be a blue or could even be a Newcastle United fan... why does it matter so much.. can’t a person be here and express a view.. there is nothing offensive in any of my posts and I follow the forum guidelines... Why so much hostility just because I don’t think a manager should be sacked after 5 months and having spent less than 2 million quid..

Like I say I would like very much for people to debate my points.. like it just as much if they disagree and put a valid point forward because it would be pretty boring if everyone agreed.. if not please just ignore my posts and move on to the next.. no need for any hostility is there just a forum where we can discuss thing..
