McClaren out Benitez in.

[iwasthere2012]

Poor Steve....a brilliant manager !! Surely will be back in the game very soon (ha ha)

Learnt everything he knew under Slur Alex's wing..............

May be in line for LVG's job.

[CTID Hants]

Benitez confirmed on 3yr deal!

[PeterParker]

Huge surprise if you ask me.

[Green & Blue]

I like Rafa and Newcastle, they've always gift wrapped the points for us. Hope they stay up.

[zuricity]

What was wrong with Julio Geordio ? surely better than Raffa Geordio , aka Rafa Scouseo.

City's record vs Rafa Benitez.

P:13 W:1 D:6 L:6 F:9 A:14

Gift wrapped indeed.

[The Maine Man]

I don't detest the Geordies, unlike most other clubs. So I hope Daddy Pig keeps them up.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Let's hope new manager syndrome kicks in quick and the magpies can nick 3 pts off the foxes

This could be Leicester's first bit of bad luck this season.

[Beefymcfc]

The world has gone mad. From Real to thee Toon, you really couldn't make that shit up.

Sorry badly worded that. I was supposed to be referring to Newcastle only. Nice bit of research though.

[iwasthere2012]

I say good luck to them. I don't mind Newcastle. Not against us of course.

Funny enough, this is the second time it happend something like this.

Michael worldbeater Owen did the same.

Didn't Jonathan Woodgate do it as well? Or was it Middlesbrough?

Mcmanamanamanananan. Real to City.
Just sayin'

To be fair, we weren't second from bottom and it wasn't mid-March.

And he wasn't a manager...
Just picking up on the Woodcote and Owen comments.

I know, mate. Just being a contrary twat. :-)

Woodgate was Middlesbrough by the way, not Newcastle. Slap for me.

No worries. I'm contrary most of the time and a twat all of the time.

Boro, if you read wikipedia. Weird, I had the same impression.

Amazing that the fucker still plays.

Benitez confirmed on 3yr deal!

I thought it would be only 6months at first. Though there's surely a relegation clause in the deal.

As someone said hopefully the new manager syndrome kicks in straight away and they beat Leicester on Monday

... Apart from that I don't think this is good from our point of view as I think our away trip there will be just a bit more difficult now
