Jose Mourinho Would 'Seriously Consider' Replacing Rafa Benitez at Newcastle if Takeover Happens

The Toon Army are agonisingly waiting for updates regarding the potential sale of Newcastle United, as well as Rafa Benitez's contract situation, but will be somewhat blindsided by the recent rumours surrounding Jose Mourinho's future.

There haven't been many updates since Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan announced plans to take over the Magpies a few weeks ago - which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it - but there are some rumblings suggesting Sheikh Khaled has his eye on a few managerial targets, should Benitez end his association with the Toon prior to a successful takeover.
