Are we - dare I say it - back?
I can't remember feeling this optimistic since Bobby Robson. Are we going to be good again?
I hope this isn't just a meme that sees us still being relegated.
6 free points for Liverpool every season, thanks m8s.

>doubting Rafa in big games
>>66103823
Yes , you're back in the bottom of the table.
Has Benitez ever been in a relegation battle before? I think he's a top manager but I'm not sure he has the ability to motivate players who don't give a shit
Also imagine the shame of starting the season as manager of Real and ending up at Newcastle.
Back to the Championship? Yeah probably
>>66103921
he only has to do better than Sunderland, Norwich and Aston Villa.
Pretty easy job.
>>66103921
In his early career his put up a fairly spirited performance with Extremadura after getting them promoted. Newcastle still have to play Sunderland, Norwich and Aston Villa and there are other winnable games against Crystal Palace and Swansea so it's not like he's completely up against it
>Newcastle
>>66103854
>Are we going to be good again?
That's being a little too optimistic imo. Benitez is a good manager, but he's not god. It's going to take a long time for Newcastle to be good again, unless they pull a Leicester.
>>66104309
Newcastle don't have a bad squad, in fact I'd argue that out of all the teams in the bottom half only Everton have a better team than Newcastle their problem is that they've been chronically mis-managed by Mike Ashley and the board for years
>>66104395
This is correct. It could work out really well though if Newcastle aren't relegated.
>Haven't had a popular manager since Hughton
>Want some kind of stability with a manager who's in it for the long haul
>Previous managers who were in for the long haul were unpopular
>Rafa can change that
>tfw actually optimistic for the first time in a long time
5 MILLION € SALARY
AS SAME AS IN MADRID, TOP KEK
>>66103921
Im pretty sure Rafa prefers any english club over spictrash
He'll be more than happy with this change of employment
>>66104924
>implying that's not a drop in the ocean with the new TV deal
>>66104924
Newcastle are like the 17th richest club in the world. Ashley is one of the richest people in the UK. NUFC under Ashley is one of the most bizarre phenomenons in world football.
CAN'T STOPPA THE RAFA
TRUE GEORDIE OFF SUICIDE WATCH

here it is. Ashley could make Chelsea look like a council estate if he wanted.
>>66104995
I wish we could force Mike Ashley and Freddie Sheppard to procreate to form a weird hybrid of the 2 who is a competent business man but also wants to see the club succeed.
From Real Madrid to Newcastle : the JUST story
>>66105172
from Ronaldo to Obertan
>>66105214
I can't name one non-garbage player from Poocastle tbqh
From Bale to Thauvin
From Benzema to Mitrovic
>>66105172
He's getting paid the same wage he was in Real. He also has a relegation release clause. He's basically going to get paid a couple of million for two months work.
JUST indeed
>>66105277
Thauvin left in January.
>>66105309
He's just that mad French flag poster who hates Newcastle for reasons no one is really sure of.
>>66105277
from Sergio Ramos to Chancel MBemba... oh wait that's an improvement
HAHAHAHA WHAT
>>66105309
He is on loan, they paid 17M (seventeen millions) for him and loan him 6 months later to OM. Its comedy gold
>>66105394
I don't hate them, just always loved their recrutement policy. I wonder if they use Fifa or FM for scouting players?
>>66105456
Who do you actually support because you always end up in Newcastle threads.
With those players Pep, Mourinho and SAF could be your coaches. Still be shit.
>>66105456
buying Cabaye, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Cissé and Ba over 2 seasons was pretty dope tho
>>66105214
>from Ronaldo to Obertan
Sounds like Man United
>>66105562
>>66105521
>there is only one french shitting on poocastle on /sp/
I support Barca and Bayern since 2014 btw
>>66105592
>being too ashamed to admit who you support on an anonymous internet imageboard
wow
What meme French players should we buy in the next Transfer window?
>>66105620
O-olympique Lyonnais
no bully
>>66105668
that one player who scored 2 goals and made 1 assist in Ligue 1, future goat trust me
>>66105668
we need at least one CB and LB
hell we need new players in every fucking position, just hope we can avoid relegation so we can actually attract some quality players
>>66103823
Why wouldn't Benitez just wait for the Valencia job? He would have a much better team to work with.
>>66105851
He wants to manage in the PL.
could go horribly wrong if they get relegated
>>66105851
His family still live near Liverpool and he wants to stay in England
>>66105900
except he has a relegation release clause
>>66105900
Not for Benitez, it's a 3 year contract with a relegation clause in it so he can walk away. It's win/win for him.
>2016
>Being a fat spanish waiter
>>66105668
i wanna see fekir in the PL
