I don't think Benitez is all that good of a manager. More flops than successes in recent times imo. (Napoli, Inter, Real Madrid).

Could be an inspired choice. Benitez is a cup manager and Newcastle have the equivalent of a cup competition as the season ends. The 'cup' is safety.

Given the abundance of candidates for qualification yet dearth of tournament ones, I'd have loved to have seen Benitez take the England reigns at a World Cup. He has managed in England long enough to be a candidate IMHO - certainly more than Capello ever was.

Thats Newcastle down IMO. Rafa Benitez vs. Sam Allardyce in a relegation battle? Only one winner.

Should be a good battle. Recently read Big Sam's autobiography and he's certainly not a fan of Rafa. Even claimed their CL final win was 'lucky'.

If I was Mike Ashley, I'd get Nigel Pearson on a contract until the end of the season and then address the situation in the summer. Newcastle desperately need a bit of the team spirit that Leicester had last season when they performed a minor miracle.

Mike Ashley doesnt really get involved in that side of the football club. He leaves that to Lee Charnley, Bob Moncur and Graham Carr to sort out. Those 3 people of the Football board.

I would have gone for Harry Redknapp until end of the season then look at it again in the summer depending on which division there in tbh.

But I think Charnley is looking at this long term and looking at Benitez to get them into the top 6 and winning a cup.

Plus Benitez has been appointed as manager not as a head coach like McClaren or Pardew was. So thats a change in policy and means that Graham Carr who is Chief Scout will have less of a say on players coming in.

Villa need to be more worried about getting a manager and team in place that will be able to hit the ground running in the Championship.

Unless Brian Little is that man in waiting. Other than Nigel Pearson there aren't many sensible proven managers available. At least if Sunderland go down they will have Allardyce to get them back up.

Benitez is an absolute dogger of a manager, was the right man at the right club at Liverpool but the rest of his career since has proven that he's a load of garbage. I have absolutely no idea how and why Madrid chose him as manager and his time there proved how much of a dislikable character he is seeing how most of the players the reacted so positvely to his removal.

I hate his guts since the way he disrespected us at Anfield, I hoped Allardyce was going to smash his stupid fat, smug, arrogant face in. And that goatee makes him look like a pervert.

Can't wait to see him fail... Again.

disagree Neil. He won the Spanish league and European cup with Valencia. He has won a cup and stabilised Chelsea as well doing a very good job at Napoli. his flops came at Inter and obviously now at Real. He will do very well at Newcastle and can see Sunderland being relegated.

I was looking for Real Madrid at the bottom of the La Liga table.

Couldn't find them anywhere....

Actually they are third, close to second and in the last eight of the Champions League.

I'd settle for a disastrous manager who could do that at Ewood.

All relative though, isn't it?

Accrington Stanely would love to be the going nowhere mid-table Championship club that we were under Bowyer.

And to think we had Josh King and Mo Barrow not even making our matchday squad last season. Bowyer is being proven a complete no hoper the longer he's gone. Imagine PL with JK, RG, JR, MB at his disposal.

Absolutely gutted about King. He was the best striker we had and he never played. Worth millions now.
