Just hope he doesn't go back to Chelsea

I know. Would be an expensive season for me having to support two teams. 

[Anubis]

The longer Kev D keeps his avatar the more we get to call him an Ashley apologist cunt....

[Guest Pistonbroke]

If that huge takeover happens at Newcastle you watch Mourinho snake his way in. 

[Elite]

I hope gets job at a decent team. He's shown he can win the biggest trophies as well the ability to win relegation dogfights with a limited budget.

 

Just not Chelsea. You're better than those cunts Rafa.

I do hope he doesn't go to China to manage. He's only 59, got years left at top flight management. Toon fans must be gutted. 

I know one and yes she’s gutted. Also think it will be a shame for him to go to China.

[Dr Nowt]

The great thing about Ashley is Rafa’s successor could be virtually anyone after having people like Wise and Kinnear there.

 

Expecting the wish-list to include luminaries such as Dave Bassett, Dennis Waterman and the second coming of Pards.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Fingers crossed it's Tim Sherwood.

I'd be disappointed if Rafa goes to Chelsea after all the abuse he got off their fans. He'll be showing a lack of self-respect to be going back to those shithouses. If I were him I'd take the China offer. £12M a year is not to be sniffed at. Spend a few years in China, get rich(er) and then come back to Europe once he's bored.

I think the huge takeover has been exposed to be a sham, which is why Benitez has walked away. Him and Ashley have been calling each other's bluff for 2 years and it was always going to end this way. Ashley is still going to be lumbered with a club he doesn't want to own and that he is struggling to sell. 

 

And I don't have a lot of time for either Benitez or Newcastle but going from Benitez to Avram Grant (the reported front runner) must be soul destroying.

Damn straight. We need the gilet hurling genius back in the PL. If only for one season.

Rafa to Hodgson, even?

Bring him home, Jurgen. It’s time

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

It wouldn't have been that long ago we would have been coming out with jibes such as "give him a pair of boots and stick him up front, couldn't do any worse than Lambert/balotelli/borini/etc". How times have changed.

RAFA BUYS CHINA

[A Red]

Old Trafford vacancy October, nah he wouldnt. Would he?

[Strontium]

Rafa took a dim view of the sum available for transfers at Newcastle.

[Strontium]

Rafa rubbed his hands together and said "They can't afford to sachima".

More chance of you reanimating an 18 year old Princess Di and living in blissful sexual harmony for the rest of your life, than there is of Ferguson sanctioning Benitez at United.

Spain currently have an interim coach in charge after Luis Enrique stepped down for family reasons. Maybe instead of being paid a fortune to get bored in China, Rafa might be interested in coaching his national team. I'd imagine the role to be one of his coaching ambitions. Besides, he's at his best when coaching a group of young hungry players which is the route Spain have been taking recently. Players like Ramos are not far off being phased out anyway.

Was thinking that as well, Spain would be mad to not offer him the job.
