    The best I was hoping for was us making a play for pulis,still think that would have guaranteed safety.But this is ****ing amazing! Should have been done sooner but if the club smash this bullshit policy that makes money at the expense of having a team of central midfielders, I can have full faith there is some change of heart in MA. Of course its Newcastle so chances are negotiations will break down at the last minute over a clause that either forces Benitez to wear a sports direct suit or limits defenders he can buy to 0

    How is that going to work? Keeping SM as head coach and Rafa as manager?

    It's probably to save face. Benitez isn't having it though. He wants a whole backroom overhaul.

    They have missed a trick with trying to keep him as head coach. If they were going to try and keep him it should have been in a more general role with oversight of the footballing side of the club and overhauling development etc. Can't blame Rafa for wanting his own people looking after the first team.

    Aye. I never like to see someone lose their job, but it's well overdue.

    Having contributed on dozens of McClaren Out threads, I still can't help feeling sorry for him when I see that pic. He's been treated like **** this week.

    He's going to get a lottery win for it so don't feel sorry, team in 19th place hardly deserves it, judge me after 10 matches has to be the quote of the season.

    True. The payout will soften the blow. Unless he's negotiated a contract where he doesn't get one.
