Newcastle takeover
Re: Newcastle takeover
Why on earth do Newcastle fans think Benitez is the solution to all their problems when he's no better than Bruce?

Re: Newcastle takeover
I think benitez is a better manager overall some stats may arrive contesting that opinion, the geordies really warmed to benitez & some of the fan base probably felt that he wasn't treat fairly & proper prior to his departure & if he went back it'd be another opportunity for him to treat better this time around, the geordies are very loyal people it's part of the their character to be like that in the main.

Re: Newcastle takeover
Did they personally sack him or have the results had any say in the matter & final finishing places for a few seasons may have had some bearing.

Re: Newcastle takeover
Our example of being incredibly loyal to dyche isn't some of a textbook for other clubs to follow, you are only as good as your last game & in Bruce's cases far too many bad 1s, also in fairness dyche has earned the loyalty.

Re: Newcastle takeover
Good stuff. The Police aren't taking any action over the banner.
On Saturday 23 October, a member of the public contacted the police to raise concerns about a banner displayed at the Crystal Palace vs Newcastle match at Selhurst Park,” a statement read. “Following an assessment, officers have concluded that no offences have been committed. No further action will be taken.

Sounds like they are now trying to get Emery as their new manager.
Has he got a good history of doing well at struggling clubs?

Re: Newcastle takeover
I wanted the police to prosecute them not because I didn't agree with them but because I wanted them to be able to demonstrate & prove the claims which will further put the spotlight on things, all this will do now is just hush things up as if the banner never existed in the first place, look lads you've had a warning don't do it again that's the end of the matter.Billy Balfour wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:25 pmGood stuff.

Good manager is Emery, Arsenal under him bottled 4th by rotating players for Europe and then lost the Europa final with a far far worse side than Arteta took to back to back 8th.

Seems the supporters want Everton to sack Rafa so they can get him back as manager.

Re: Newcastle takeover
All smoke and mirrors. How many consistently successful managers are there? Seems to me that once they've won something, and have an exotic name, teams clamour for their services. In reality, their 'meal ticket' has been stamped and when they sign a contract the bottom line, and overriding concern, is the severance bounty. Hardly makes any good business sense from their new employers, as the manager generally knows he'll be banking that in a couple of years, at most and doesn't require any more than average results in the meantime! Rant over

Re: Newcastle takeover
Interesting point. If Benitez gets even a sniff of the Newcastle after him he’ll be throwing matches and won’t put up much of a fight when hauled in front of the Everton chairman that’s for sure.
He tried to hold Ashley to ransom for 10 million a year and he told him to do one, getting Bruce in for a snip of the price.
The blokes a worse mercenary than any player around.

Re: Newcastle takeover
Was it not Bruce who brought in Joelinton after Newcastle had scouted him. Benitez didn’t actually want him and wanted the money for different players, one of the things Ashley and Benitez where at loggerheads with before his departure.

Newcastle will be Emery's 9th Managerial job ; some going for a 49 year old.
Re: Newcastle takeover
Rafa got relegated with them, if I remember correctly. I read both Bruce and Rafa picked up the exact same number of points over their 2 PL seasons each. One is a Spanish hero, the other is a hated Geordie. The Geordies aren't happy at the boring Bruce football, they must not remember they were stinking the place out under Rafa, full on park the bus 15% possession. Horrible to watch

Re: Newcastle takeover
This situation regarding Bruce and Benitez has been covered already. Yes, their records were similar but nothing similar about the amount of money afforded both managers. Benitez was pragmatic, a clever tactician as we found out more than once but the only money he had to work with was what he generated himself through sales. If he spent on forwards then the defence felt the pinch and vice versa.
Bruce had over £170 million available to him. He wasn't popular because they quite simply didn't like him and he had managed Sunderland. His best days were as a player with Man Utd. and whether you agree with it or not it didn't go well.especially when he wanted to return as a.Geordie.
I'm.not defending either boss but just telling it as.it is through the eyes of Geordies I am related to and friends with. Benitez had pedigree, Bruce was a clown.

Re: Newcastle takeover
Apologies it was indeed Bruce who signed Joelinton, I always imagined he was one of Rafa's signings, in that case even more reason for the new owners not to trust Steve Bruce with all their new money then.
However I still have my doubts over whether bringing Benitez back is the right move for Newcastle, I suppose as a short-term appointment purely to stabilise them in the PL just for this season it makes sense as he knows the club and most of the players, but you'd imagine the owners will be having far loftier ambitions in the coming years than merely cementing a PL place.
