Rafa benitez despite the squads being on par on quality give or take a few million ????

Can any of the resident mags give their opinion on this subject???
Exactly this...the fact "world class manager" is mentioned in the opening sentence whenever anyone in tbe media mentions Benitez appears to clear him of any blame or responsibility with regard to the failure of his team.

Imo this should be the exact opposite and make him more accountable, ie. a "world class manager" should be able to get more out of a team/players than an average manager.

The fans cling to this "status" as some sort of standard of approval and relevance when in reality if this was Allardyce, Pardew or McLaren they would have been shouting from the rooftops to have them sacked.

If Rafa goes we go....FFS man! :lol:
 
Any Brighton fans on here who think their manager is world class considering he hasn't had a fortune to spend but has them mid table ??

CH inherited quite a strong side at Brighton, credited with organising the defence. Best signing Shane Duffy.

I think getting promoted with six first team players injured throughout the season was a bigger achievement than staying in the Premier League the first season. Newcastle did NOT have a better team or even squad, they just had more good luck.

Shocking tackle should have been a red, not sure if he can get a retrospective as ref gave a free kick I think?

That means ref must’ve saw the foul but not deemed it bad enough for a card.
 
They’ve got some awful fixtures coming up but after that a bit of a run where results could go either way. If they don’t pick up points in those they are really in the shite. Think Huddersfield will go and Cardiff will end up dropping. Last place between them Fulham and possibly Brighton who I think might be one to tumble towards the end. Southampton and Burnley got enough about them to get out of it.

If Benitez spent less time acting like a hissy little brat and more time doing his job they would have more chance getting out of it.
