I think,the one thing he would bring that Newcastle badly need at the moment,is defensive stability. It won’t be the prettiest football to watch,but balls to looking pretty,Newcastle need to win ugly,and Rafa can do that,as well as win in style. The only problem would be (if he only joined till the end of the season)that he would have to work with the players already at the club,similar to what Klopp is doing at Liverpool until the summer,and whether he could improve the likes of Collocini is debatable (sorry lads,but he’s crap isn’t he?). As Kieran says above,we had a lot of substandard dross at Liverpool when he won the CL,but the players got to grips with the system,and all knew their jobs. If he can do the same with the Newcastle lads,he may just keep you up. Fingers crossed for you that he is interested. Forget Moyes,he’s shite. Rafa is a winner. It’s like choosing between a Ferrari and a pushbike. No contest. Benitez all the way. Good luck to you. You are fantastic, passionate fans,and you deserve better
