Probably saw that letter and the betting and went for the clickbait. This isn't like Rodgers. He was a 'Celtic' fan who needed to rehabilitate his reputation and quite fancied a year or two of racking up trophies with no pressure. Benitez was earning £12m in China. 😂 Would probably walk into most jobs in any top league. It will only add to SG managing career, if he can go head to head with RB and win. I don't think RB will be able to save their season though. I think this is a gesture to get their fans onside for ST time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,453 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I don’t know if it will be Benitez but I do think they’ll try and pull a big name manager out of the bag rather than a Steve Clarke or a Jack Ross. They need to for the sake of season tickets and fan buy-in. As others have mentioned it may seem an expensive option, but if it means getting a tune out of their squad then it might be actually cost effective simply because they will actually be trained properly, improving results without the need for wholesale changes. They saw how Rodgers transformed them - so unless they are totally fucked financially (or if Desmond doesn’t fancy bankrolling it) then I genuinely see a big name coming in. Don’t underestimate how wounded Liewell and Desmond will be by the last few months and our reaction to it. Anyway, just my tuppence, although I hope I’m wrong and they go for a cheap option.

jintybear 8,536 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I don’t see them being able to afford Benitez. The rumours are they can’t afford to sack TLB and Benitez won’t be cheap. Not only that he would need some assurance that he can buy players. We’ll see soon enough I suppose.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Benitez is an excellent manager who has accomplished a lot in football - but he’s not going to Celtic so we needn’t worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,639 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Not really buying this whole 'they couldn't afford him' chat. Simple fact is binning Duffy and Lennon alone would free up around 70k a week probably. That alone is most of his potential wages paid for. It would require a bit of pushing out the boat but its doable. There's also little doubt they'll sell quite a few other of their useless squad players which will free up wages - players they don't really need to replace. Whether he would want to go there though is a different matter. But then again he was willing to manage in China so prestige of club/league clearly isn't high up his list of priorities anymore.

scottyscott1963 18,286 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Newcastle are actually in a bigger shambles than the tramps. If we are to be successful and keep the mutants down,would rather they built themselves up,just for us to knock the bastards back down. Stevie Gerrard and his backroom team are more like THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN movie in ridding the town full of baddies. Would never want to lift a trophy the way the mutants have racked up theirs. bejabus christ couldn't save the scabby bastards. BLUEDIGNITY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In China he was clearing £250k a week after tax. I’m unsurprised he went to a smaller league with that sort of cash on the table He was on about £80k at Newcastle and would presumably want similar from his next employer. The affordability issue is probably more about the assurances he’d seek from the board regarding transfers etc. Howsitgoing, J-Maestro, Bluekev and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howsitgoing 4,281 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Apparently doubled his salary going to China at £12m so even if he went back to his salary managing a top English club he would need £115k a week. It’s not happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrsosPonytail 170 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If it transpires that next season's champions go straight into the CL groups, then I reckon they'd spend big on a manager for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanVeenRangers 2,529 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I could see them doing this but they would need to invest heavy on transfer fees. Are they willing to risk it. Scottish football is like no other league. Look at Paul Le Guen. Gerrard and his team know how to beat these teams now. Benitez has been in charge of creating defensive units for the last decade. He would need 1 or 2 years to settle in. Sweetheart and scottyscott1963 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_85 656 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I doubt they will get Benitez. Seen Guillem Balague say that he's taking time out and also had options from Germany. If it was betting on it I still would be taking Jack Ross who's price has been driven up after of the Benitez chat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better get Harry Houdini then. They need to replace at least half the squad and put a title winning team together in the next 6 months. This years title is done and moving on players for money isn't going to be easy in the current environment. scottyscott1963 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
