The new manager hunt (was the Moyes thread) only 3 days to wait...

Pearces_Left_Foot

Maybe it’s all part of his master plan don’t spend much save for 2 years then bung it Rafa lol

I really think they are going to get their 1st choice in Rafa, so hope I'm right out of the mentioned ones...

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’ll be desperately disappointed if it’s Ranieri.

Yeoldhammer

Its no one, we have heard this line many a time before, "we are so close"...etc.. then something happens last minute as usual.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

It’s all a bluff.....”Si Si” reported by ExWHU



Welcome Davide Moyesini

So Sullivan probably looked at some fans forum and decided to bin Moyes ? If that's how he is going to run things its not wonder we end up in such a mess. I just hope Rafa thinks he owes us something after last time and joins up and Dave put his hand in his pocket to fund things

Well he does personally ask a WHU news/forum site to conduct polls on various matters......

And that ladies and gentlemen is a FACT

Just to clear this up and for not mentioning a source, one of the joint editors at a very well known WHU site told me this a long time back.

Are we getting Guy Fawkes as our new manager? Mind, if it all goes wrong we can put him on the bonfire in November.

IronHerb

We are relegated next season then Yeold?

Sky reporting Newcastle are confident Benitez is staying.

Pellegrini?

baracks_a_hammer

I don’t think it will be Rafa because there’s little to suggest he’s even been spoken to

EXETERHAMMER

I'm thinking Pellegrini. I just cannot see why Benitez would leave Newcastle for us at the moment.

Lot of noise on social media about Ranieri.

Would be hugely underwhelmed with that. Would rather have kept Moyes.

PrestonHammer

Well he would be the cheap option. I think I have just had my hopes and dreams fade and die. ;weep

OldCastleSwift

Ranieri ;hmm

Not really an improvement on Moyes.

But we'll see what Sully has up his sleeve soon.

I hope it's Rafa shaped.

Yeoldhammer

haha Ranieri xD

IronHerb

Guardian reporting we are after Rafa

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I’ll be fuming if it’s Ranieri.

thornburyiron

And according to them Ranieri may be an option if they don’t get any of their preferred candidates b

grey_til_I_dye

I'd be uninspired but unsurprised.

Lukerz

So we paid £9m for Hugill but have reservations paying £6m for Rafa?

grey_til_I_dye

Lukerz

If that report is to be believed...

IronHerb

The reports say we have reservations, not the BoD to my knowledge.

To be fair, Rafa is a terrible target man.

sweepy23

Sully just can’t keep quiet.

Didn’t we almost sign O’Neill until Sullivan announced it and O’Neill backed out because he couldn’t keep it quiet?

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I just can’t imagine what good Sullivan thinks that article would do. It’s been a day since Moyes left. We really, really don’t need a hyperbolic update after 24 hours.

Why not just wait until this top manager has actually signed a contract?

Baffling.

McHammer

Iv just solved the Si Si riddle its actually C C

Lukerz

Chilean press reporting it’s Pelligrini and he has signed and will be unveiled on Monday.

OldCastleSwift

Very good pedigree. He did well with Malaga so has a bit of history with smaller clubs. Managed Real and City so is clearly no mug.

Benitez still my No1 choice, but Pellegrini would absolutely do.
