Luv or hate him, its clear this is a very brave decision. Esp considering he is not short on money, given a considerable payday from Senor Perez

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

The egomaniac will mortgage Newcastle's future. He will concentrate on league cup and fa cup. Try to win those and ignore the league. Then as usual, brag about winning trophies
Can you imagine that! Brag about winning trophies in football!

The point is that he failed at Inter Milan, failed at Napoli, failed at Real Madrid and got Newcastle relegated. Has be bragged about that? No! At Inter, Napoli and Real Madrid he was blaming everyone but his damn self! but if he managed to win something, he'd be runing around flapping his butt cheeks like he is "the best tactician in europe." :woot: :woot: :taunt: :taunt: :lol: :lol:

Yes, the gift Mourinho gave him by letting him sit on the bench, while Mourinho's players were winning the Super Coppa.
what happened 6 months after? The players got tired of him and pushed him out! he was fired!

Yes, but you also forget that the season before he came, Napoli finished SECOND (2ND) and gave him MORE THAN 100 ONE HUNDRED MILLION to spend on the likes of Higuain.

Also, Napoli was in the Champions League prior to hiring benitez

What happened the next season? HE FINISHED 5TH (FIFTH). He took Napoli from 2nd to 5th!
Real: sacrificed by Perez to save his neck from the fans
:rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

At Madrid, he was beaten up and humiliated by Barcelona AT THE BERNABEU! Within 6 months, he was an eyesore and his INEXPERIENCED successor has taken THE SAME TEAM TO THE CL FINALS, AND only 3 points behind the champions. Had benitez not been hired, they would have won the league
Newcastle was relegated by Mclaren

Rafael Benitez was the coach of newcastle when they were relegated! FACH!

He was hired with 10+ games to go and blew it! I think he won only 2 points from the first 12 points available!

Rafa is complaining that he can't sign players before preseason starts this week because of the Euros.

Rafa is like TXJ, he needs to be absurd in order to remain relevant.

The guy is a horrendous coach and a pompous asssssshole on top! He has failed repeatedly and has been fired repeatedly. Today he is coaching in Division 2 and finding it hard. Yet, his love child, TXJ, still calls him "the best tactician in europe." :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

According to Twitter, Newcastle has spent 45 million pounds so far! :scared: :scared: :scared: This plump nauseating Gordo will spend 100 million in Div 2 and then relegate Newcastle again :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
