useless Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Mourinho isn't even that bad of a manager. Very similar to Benitez actually, would be a massive coup for a club like Newcastle. Edited June 24, 2019 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be someone out of work. Jose will be linked, a few decent names will be linked. They will sign up Howard Wilkinson or Peter Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last I heard it sounded like it was a load of fantasists spinning a delusion, but I admit I haven't been following the story at all. You mean the takeover by a multi billionaire sheikh who has tried to buy clubs before and labelled a fantasist/chancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Good news for us as this adds an extra club to the relegation mix. They were safe as houses if they kept Benitez. I imagine Almiron and Longstaff will be flogged too. Feel sorry for them, with that parasitic scumbag in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Mourinho's last full season in the Premier league with United they finished on 81 points, which in a lot of seasons would have been enough to win them the title, including the season when Leicester won it, and that with a United squad that many say isn't that great. He'd do just as well with the current Newcastle squad as Benitez did, if not better, not that I think he'll go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 2 weeks ago Mourinho said he wants an international job, he might take the year off getting a lot of money from someone like BT or sky and then see how the cookie crumbles after next summers Euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 What am I reading? Mourinho, Wenger? No this is newcastle. Doesn't matter how good they once were. Look at the club now. No quality manager will take this job with Ashley in charge. Newcastle's squad is pretty poor, and the only reason they are in the premier league still is due to Benitez. No manager will come in and do better than Rafa did especially because they won't get funding. Houghton, Monk, and Hudson are more realistic hires. If they manage to get Houghton, they should count themselves lucky. I really think it will be some championship manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 3 hours ago, kurtsimonw said: The bottom end of the league isn't great. Finishing above the 3 clubs that went down this season is something any below average club with a below average manager should achieve IMO. And Newcastle/Rafa aren't below average. Eh. His job at Chelsea was overrated, Sarri did better and gets criticised. Finishing 5th with Napoli seems to go unnoticed, that's an abysmal season when the big names of Serie A were struggling too. Again, Sarri outdid him. His Championship signings were very good, and while he hasn't been given a tonne to spend, his Premier League signings have been poor. He's been successful everywhere. Won the Europa League with Chelsea and Napoli, won the Championship with Newcastle. The comparison with Sarri - who has just landed two of the biggest jobs in football, in a row - is weird and I don't really understand it. Benitez is a very good manager, irrespective of what Sarri does. (That said, Sarri didn't win any trophies at Napoli). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
