Coach wrote:Theres only so much rope-a-dope the rope will allow. Newcs were pressing and ultimately, their quality prevailed. If Rafa fails to win the league with the squad at his disposal, promotion alone should be considered a failure.
As for Hughton, very much the type to make a team greater than the sum of its components. The issue is when the ceiling of expectation is raised and the standard of the squad lifted. Tottenham would be too big a job, but certainly a Bournemouth, Swansea, Boro would be a good platform to build on. Brighton will go up, one hopes they stick with him regardless.
but...Eddie Howe is doing a good job at B'mouth
ditto Clement at the Swans
Boro is going down

Rafa Benitez has dropped the ball, he did have quite a big budget didn't he ?
Wonderfull that Chris Hughton is the one above Newcastle, they discarded him in a way i did not like.
The guy deserves a shot in some decent EPL team with a good budget

Congrats to Rafa but this Newcastle squad needs overhauling this summer
The defence is not good enough for the EPL
Creatively the only real talent they have is atsu who is a Chelsea reject and shelvey who is wildly inconsistent
Rafa did well to assemble a team that could do the job in the championship
But the EPL is a different proposition

he needs to buy buy in a big way, same with Hughton
Heard on Talksport that the Newcy owner plans to spend big this summer
Atsu will be loaned out, maybe to a Championship team.
His tricks are tired, and oftentimes do not even come off

Newcastle is a huge club with a small mentality, they need some Arab money to get back into the premiership elite, to finish in the top 4, you need to spend in excess of 100 million pounds unless you have a good scouting system where you can pick up good talent for next to nothing, if not, they will be on their way down again, the premiership is so tough now
