With Benitez signing a new deal with Newcastle does anyone agree with me that this might bring a higher quality of foreign player coming to the championship? Maybe they will think if a manager or his class can go to that league it can't be all that sh! t?

Think perceptions that the Championship is a pub team league were quashed long and ever ago - especially with SKY ramming the contrary down our necks due to their lack of Champions League football! To their credit, it's teams like Newcastle that showed expansive, attractive football is to be found among the long-ball merchants. There'll always be those who believe English football does not exist outside the huddle of the 'Big Five' (once Leicester reclaim their rightful place! ) But the truth is even in the depths of League 2 there is some real talent; guys like Accrington Stanley's John Coleman has worked miracles on a shoe-string budget.

To be honest with you Hembico, I'm not entirely sure; but I would imagine yes. Every team now wants to follow the idealistic Guardiola style of football. Seemingly only foreign managers can bring this! Also every single Premier League team will be £100m richer next season! Chances are the three losers will look at bringing in a big name manager to keep attendance figures up. In fairness it's what we tried with Solbakken; winning games also helps however!

Benitez will enhance the perceived image of the Championship. No doubt. There will be huge crowds at St James Park, especially against the likes of Villa, Derby etc. The PL millions will also enhance the value of the Championship as many second tier sides have a realistic chance of promotion to the greed league. Let's face it, three sides will go up every season!
