smetrov Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Just been on the Liverpool forum...They adore Rafa and think he will do a great job at Villa. They seem to think the British media have been out to get Benitez for a while now, and he is a great manager. Why did they sack him them ? Not good for Liverpool - but good enough for you guys at Villa Park. Patronizing scouse gits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Can you imagine Rafa trying to talk Downing out of going to Liverpool? Downing: So why shouldn't I go to Liverpool. Isn't that the club you adore? Rafa: Hmm, good point. Let him go to liverplop then, for a top price & replace him with someone better for less money. Is Rafa better connected in Europe in terms of attracting talent than King Kenny? Maybe And how many good wingers did Rafa exactly sign for Liverpool.......? answer - None.

Tayls Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Just seen it on sky sports - brilliant delighted we have made a move for Rafa. Think he is a great manager and did well at Liverpool. If it wasn't gonna be Ancelotti or a Dutchman I wanted Rafa. Finally some news.... Thank **** it's not Martinez or Mclaren!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 One thing's for sure, if we get him he'll be the fatest manager we've had in many years! fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cenotaff Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Reading the Liverpool forum, it's clear their hatred of Moyes is clouding over the terrific job he's done on a shoe-string there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafyVilla Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 His record with Valencia was very good which shows there is something in him. He brought them their first league title in over 30 years, then won it again 2 years later, won the Uefa Cup. Eufa Manager of the year award won twice. 55.5 win percentage with Liverpool. He's not brilliant but he's not as bad as people make out. ^^^^^THIS^^^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'd be fairly happy with Rafa, but having been bitten by the Ancelotti bug, im not going to invest any trust into this latest rumour. Infact, I dont believe it and believe it may be another smokescreen by the club. Basically anything to keep the attention away from the fact that we're probably after Moyes and dont want the public to get wind of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 i dont like benitez but he has alot to offer still. he failed at inter so this job is make or break for him. if he fails here he will be finished. he is a excellent tactician, does squad rotation and is a huge name without europe. thats the positives. negatives? pr disaster very poor at that. doesnt play great football and unless starts well fans will be against him straight away not my first choice but certainly better than hughes or mclaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I don't want to build peoples hopes up I really don't and I don't want to mislead people my earlier post is what I know Hughes not considered McClaren considered but that was it Ancelotti definately considered and wanted to speak to him . I don't know anymore than that but something just tells me there is a ' Bent meltdown ' coming . Don't know why but just a snippet of info which I am not going to post leads me to think that not everything we are hearing and sseing is maybe what we are doing because if it is right it will take it's natural course and I don't want to mess it up either .

Valhalla Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 He's a good manager but not right for us. This is what happens when things are done by committee They just opt for the best cv,a football man would of picked Martinez. I'm still in shock at the treatment Steve has received. I bet he was so excited getting his best suit ready,sorting his hair out and packing his umbrella. Then he gets the phone call. Disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
