Rafa Benitez third time lucky with Nottingham Forest?

The newly promoted team dropping to rock bottom on Monday night after having been smashed 4-0 by local rivals Leicester.

This to a backdrop of claims of Steve Cooper not exactly having had total control when it came to the crazy summer transfer action, some 23 players signed after promotion was secured. Rafa Benitez has proved a master at building solid, disciplined defences from at times, very average players, Could this be right up his street?

We are now closing in on seven years since he left arguably the biggest club in the world and would he have ended up in the state he now finds himself, if not for going to work for Mike Ashley back then in March 2016?He did a brilliant job at St James’ Park and that was despite zero net spend over the course of his 3+ years at Newcastle.

With even reasonable investment allowed finally at that point, where would Rafa Benitez and Newcastle United have been now? Even with Mike Ashley still here?!! Wishing him well now, is NOT in any way showing anything negative towards Eddie Howe and Newcastle United now.

NOPE

New squad, new manager - will anyone know where they keep anything by Christmas!!
