If we don't get our act together soon then we're going to miss out on Alan Curbishley.
That man won't wait forever!

La Repubblica reports that former AC Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso is waiting for contact with NUFC, despite being strongly linked with the Sampdoria job.

I'm sure he would like the job, but I think he'll be waiting for a long time.

Italian press saying that he's not off to Roma and NUFC will back him.
Rumours I know but, stating the obvious, we need to get this sorted asap.

Rafa off to the final it seems. Doing some scouting ahead of the takeover?

BBC Sport:
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has received a £12m-a-year offer to take over as manager at Chinese Super League club Dalian Yifang.
Benitez, 59, is out of contract at the end of June but has been offered a new deal by Newcastle owner Mike Ashley.
So far he has been unable to agree a deal and it is becoming increasingly likely Benitez will leave St James' Park after just over three seasons.
The Spaniard is also linked with a move to succeed Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea.
Benitez remains one of the favourites to replace Sarri but Frank Lampard is the overwhelming favourite for the job.
Benitez had an an uneasy relationship with the Chelsea fans when he was in interim charge of the club during the 2012-13 season.
There is a chance Benitez may decide not to go to China and wait for another offer - from Newcastle or elsewhere.
However, the lure of China may be too much given the vast sums on offer.
Dalian have won only three of their 13 league games so far this season under South Korean coach Choi Kang-hee.
Newcastle were relegated after Benitez arrived at the club in March 2016 but the former Liverpool boss guided them to promotion as Championship winners the following season.
The Magpies have finished 10th and 13th in the Premier League in subsequent seasons.

Re: Rafa Benitez reveals 'positive' talks over his Newcastle United future
Can't see Rafa going to China, seems to want to stay at the top level rather than chase the money (which he probably doesn't need).
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

China ? Doubt it very much for Rafa at this stage in his career. That said, the longer this indecision goes on the more likely imo that Rafa will move on. Still remains frustratingly impossible to call. Surely to Christ we’ll get a decision this Friday

Re: Rafa Benitez reveals 'positive' talks over his Newcastle United future
Even less so than that, I don't think he'd want to move to China. He really seems to want to be near his family, and I don't think a few million would persuade him otherwise.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 11:25 amCan't see Rafa going to China, seems to want to stay at the top level rather than chase the money (which he probably doesn't need).

Gary Monk the bookies favourite if Rafa leaves at the end of the month.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

Sacked by Birmingham, would be the sort of manager we'd appoint.

I don't think Monk is that bad. Bit clearly massive step down from Rafa and will be a long season

There's certainly worse. I'm surprised he's favourite though. Thought it would be Moyes, Hughes, or even Pulis

I mean I’d take him over any of those three
