At the very least his resume is freaking impressive.
Rafa is a good manager but he is no miracle worker. It's going to be a tough job keeping Newcastle up at this late stage. If he manages it it would be nearly as good of job as he did winning the Champion's League wit THAT Liverpool squad. If he keeps you up and get proper backing, better days will come.
