Benitez has left Dalian

His time at Napoli absolutely destroyed any notion that he was still a top class manager like. Somehow contrived to not even qualify for the Champions League in his last season with a squad containing Callejon, Jorginho, Higuain, Mertens, Hamsik, Insigne and Koulibaly.

Just for contrast the now much-maligned Maurizio Sarri turned pretty much the same squad into title contenders in each of his 3 seasons there whilst being one of the most entertaining sides to watch in Europe.

He has been yesterday's man since Valencia. Was incredibly fortunate at Liverpool.
 

Whilst I find their love in with him bizarre I also find it bizarre how much some of our lot seem bothered by it. More so cos he gets labelled shite yet some seem worried about him returning.
Don't see many on here worried about him returning, in fact I'd say it's the opposite, many would love to see him return and Rafagate them again.
 
You prefer Howe but you’re trying to be realistic ....... then in the next sentence you’re saying you’d take the Wolves gaffer? :lol:
In fairness he said if they are stupid enough to get rid of him. But still think Nuno has sights on a bigger job....Chelsea/Arsenal.

A few on here seem to be. And last time plenty were praying he would get sacked or walk away. He's a nothing manager these dsys yet but sets seem obsessed.
 
Someone’s gonna have a bit spare cash shortly. Wish I followed suit.
Be amazed if he ends up there tbh mate despite bookies having him odds on now, could possibly see him at a Palace, Brighton, Fulham type job yet

Which would hurt every mag :lol:
 
He did not have a good relationship with Ashley from what I remember. He wanted to walk away because of lack of funds but Ashley had him tied up in a contract so that it would've cost the FSW millions. I seriously doubt he would ever consider going back there whilst Ashley is in charge, unless he was promised a huge amount of money to spend.

The idiots still think moose faced munter Staveley is taking them over
 
Met Dermot Desmond and Peter Lawwell last night.

Await for the mag meltdown when he’s managing in a pub league instead of them
 
Hoyed £5 @18/1 just there

Haway ya fat wanker go to a league thats your level now
Seen a pic of a letter re his Celtic connection, not trawling through 14 pages to see if it's been posted, don't know if it's genuine, could be just to wind up the unwashed 😄
