Well we have an article on the Beeb site saying we want him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35768923 And Benitez has already said he's interested, only thing that could block this is Charnley stubbornly sticking by McClaren....which I unfortunately suspect he might.
Lots of story's out there today saying its nearly done.Hopefully we can get this sorted out today. The big question is what are they going to do with McClaren now? He is on the board so will he be kept on board on an advisory basis or just cut all ties?

I could be wrong but I don't think Rafa's ever been involved in a relegation fight. Not sure his even managed a bottom half team before
We aren't in the bottom half!! We are in the half aspiring to be in the top half half... but not any time soon.
Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague Three year deal for Rafa at Newcastle according to @diarioas. Not the first time he thought about the club. The long term project he wanted
Two days ago one could have had a similar price on Moyes. I keep thinking that I should be laying all these odds-on managerial positions.
