Richard Keys claims Rafael Benitez tried to leave Newcastle United for Everton twice

[neil999]

No chance his missus will ever leave London.

No problem, franchise Everton is born... The Hoxton toffees

 

[ToffeeTim]

It's a ginormous NO from me

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I'm sure Keys used to be a local journo.

Breakfast telly?

 

[Jacob]

He was, radio merseyside

He only worked for commercial radio to be honest not BBC... Radio City here in the late 70s doing the footie commentaries and Piccadilly then telly at TVam.

 

[Moomin]

Rafael as manager, the stadium move to collapse.

Imagine the fume??

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Hire him for the new stadium.
All those executive boxes will need waiters.

Quite right it was radio City, that's how we had to follow the football them days if you weren't at the game.
Radio or teletext

It’s been 12 years since he called us a small club and we haven’t won anything or been in the Champions League since then, so I’d say it’s safe to say he was right.

All is forgiven.

Hmmm could be if he made us a big one again.

 

[Bluebonic]

I was in a Vodka induced coma on Saturday night and dreamt that FSW was our manager and we had just beaten the RS in the derby, and FSW pulled out a heavy silver tray from under his waistcoat and buried it in Klopp’s ‘Red Rum‘ inspired gnashers. Initially I thought it was just another alcohol fuelled psychotic episode, but perhaps it was a vision?

 

[ClausThomsen]

10 years since he's done anything of note and it's very rare for older managers to get back to winning ways.

 

[Rob17896]

It would actually annoy the RS as well, and I'm sick of having absolutely no ammunition to strike back with. It's been like that for ages now, at least since Pickford's flap at Anfield.

He's a good manager. Knows the Premier League. I'd have him now, but could our fans be grown up and have a business like attitude to Rafael becoming a blue?

Pickfords flap is a minor issue compared to now

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Will never happen because that odious snake Kenwrong will veto any move for him - he's in the past said he would have never gone for him as manager.

Thats our Chairman therefore forget this one.

 

[HKIV]

Jesus, whatever next. Klopp in 10 years time.

There is an almost unique rivalry between these teams - we just dont take each others managers,

If we did I think something special between the clubs would be lost forever.

 

[HKIV]

If Usman came in we bid 400mill for Salah and Van Dyke.

Its nonsense.

 

[Rob17896]

Rather get the Leeds manager

What!
