Richard Keys claims Rafael Benitez tried to leave Newcastle United for Everton twice

[4737carlin]

Rather get the Leeds manager

He was the on i wanted or Nuno before they came up, the idea of going for Premier League experience is so flawed and one of the reasons we are in this mess

Its a shame we never got him, the real deal, and far better then anything we will get now, after all who is going to want to pick this mess up?

...never underestimate that Everton are a very attractive proposition for a Manager.

 

[Goat]

Cheaper than Jose..

Nope.

Jose would want 15m a year.

4 years = 60m.

 

[Moomin]

Brands is friends with Rafael.

Yeah, thats why we keep hiring losers.

The fact that two of our sacked managers are now managing serious international sides is proper weird.

The mess you talk of is hard to get your head round.

Brands is fr.A.nds with Rafael.

Yeah, thats why we keep hiring losers.

....there’s plenty out there who would love the job, we just keep picking the wrong one.

Rafael would be a step up in my opinion. But would get the scorn pretty fast if he started to be ineffective because of his prior allegiance.

 

[Bluebonic]

I don’t know why I find that so hysterical, but I jolly well do

Whatever side of the fence you're on regarding Silva, Gorilla Mitts has had it in for Silva since he got the Hull Job.

Banged on week in, week out on BeIN how a steady pair of hands "from a british manager who knows the game" would fare far better.

Keys is only ever interested in spotlight. He doesn't even care if they're talking good or bad..... So long as it's him.

Vile.

 

[Carlito]

Obviously, he's vastly superior to Silva in every way, but I do think that defensive managers are yesterday's men at the highest level.

It seems to be the more reckless teams that come up and stay up now.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

I wanted the FSW to replace Moyes when he left and have wanted him every time the vacancy has arose since. I don't even care he slagged us off once and used to manage them.

Benitez is a bloody good manager and has done well at most places he's been. He still lives on Merseyside so I'm sure he'd be interested in the job here when the current incumbent is finally removed.

Plus a fancy house in the 'posh' bit

No chance his missus will ever leave London.
