I'm very interested in how he'll do there.

On the one hand, he has not had the greatest resume since leaving Liverpool.

On the other hand, he hasn't always gotten a chance to do what he does. Its like the poeple who hire him are surprised he doesn't play this expressive brand of Soccer. He was a terrible fit for RM and Chelsea, yet the idiots in charge of those still hired him only to fire him pretty quickly.

After suffering through Carver and McClaren, Rafa looks like Ferrgie to me

There's a crowd outside SJP welcoming him

It also signals the end of the Carr-Charnley era as far as transfer policy goes, which by itself it cause for celebration.

Will Rafa be okay with coaching in the Championship?

Serious question, not just #bantz, as this appears to be a real possibility and would have likely entered into discussions.

biggest what the frick move in soccer in a while

RM was setting itself on fire with Mo when he wasn't playing "beautiful soccer" while setting scoring records

Ancelotti was seen as the savior, won the CL, and then had some injuries that required a slower pace and was sacked

then they hire Rafa?

wasn't that his downfall at 'pool?

it seems that he was amazing early on building that team and once it got success he fell off the face of the earth in the transfer market

I'd say he did relatively well at both...

Doesn't have the talent as those teams, interesting to see what he can do with a bottom dweller.

I think he's one of the most overrated Managers in a long time. Well get to see how good he is.

Also, let's not act like he's doing a Harry or Big Sam rescue, Newcastle are 1 point out of rescue, not 8-10 back, this late in season.

It's a bit too little too late to really do this.

i don't want to see Newcastle go down, their fans don't deserve it, especially as loyal as they are, and what Ashley has put them through, but if Sam Stays up and he drops, the war of words will get a lot more exciting, especially with Jose gone, league has become boring, no troll managers.

Rafa is still living off 2005/2007 cup runs with Liverpool. he's the guy that found the 1 title, and continue to keep getting great gigs, even thought they shite can him within a few years.
