According to reports looks like Benitez is poised to replace McClaren at Newcastle, apparantly the only hold up is regarding Benitez's back room staff but one sorted they think it will go through. I think it will a good move for both parties, good for Newcastle as they will have a manager who can win them a cup and good for Benitez as he wants to work back in the English game. I personally don't like him so the more English Clubs he works at the less likely he is to replace Klopp in three seasons time...
Sorry if this should be in the other forums....

Is Benitez's style the perfect fit to make newcastle a well drilled team perhaps? I think it could take benitez a good 3 seasons if he can manage to stay with them until then, before newcastle are causing upsets. This is a big challenge for benitez.
He's got to get them out of relegation first, which is a mammoth task in itself, with a side who average exactly 1 goal a game in the league currently.

He would go down in history if he managed to win them a cup, his strength does seem to be cup competitions, like I said he is only poised and nothing has been confirmed...

Don't know what to think of this. Newcastle are a funny bunch at the moment and I'm not sure if they're right for Benitez or not. I'd also like to see him do well but dislike Newcastle so am a bit conflicted if it is true.

If Rafa wants the job then good luck to him. Hopefully he does a good job there. It would be excellent to see him take them into the top 6. If Klopp doesn't do well or of he is poached by someone over the next few seasons then we'd have an ideal candidate to replace with recent premiership experience.

I think he deserves better than newcastle. But it may be nice for him to go to a club with zero expectations. Unlike Madrid where even if you win you have to do it correctly.

SKY reporting talks are at an advanced stage now, this looks like it could be happening...

Quite funny to hear Zidane coming under pressure at Real now  As for Raffa... I think he's far to good for a team battling relegation - I wouldn't be surprised if he does take the job it will only be as a caretaker until the summer / negotiable if they go down.

Benitez has got a bit of a reputation for being fussy on the jobs he takes, avoiding big challenges where the circumstances are less than ideal. In other words, a 'CV' manager.
If he gets the job and performs well at Newcastle then it could definitely rebuild his reputation and he could get the chance to manage a big club again.
