Rafael Benítez

[bahtat]

Both could potentially be hilarious. I genuinely think he'll be their "McEnemeny"...

The more this saga drags on the more I'm reminded of us in those heady days, then the season started

Lawyers and agents ensuring it's an indubitable contract.
Good to know Ashley and Benitez trust each other implicitly.
Talk about prenuptial agreements.

Valencia job just gone, so that's ruled that out.

Meh, he had his best games for us against the Mags. I think we've went over the top with how shit he was. Yes he doesn't go forward much & yes, he sometimes went missing, but i wouldn't say he was a bad player, just not very good. I remember saying when he went I'd have kept him as a squad player, coming in at centre mid & left back when needed. However if he was going to be in the first 11 it's best he goes.

He'll be decent in the championship (if he doesn't leave).

Based on what?

The truth is no-one knows as there is zero track record at that level.
Could be brilliant, could be disastrous, could be ok

It's a lower level than what he has been playing at. Surely it stands to reason he would be better at a lower level, not worse?

He's an ok proven Premier League squad player imo, they tend to look decent at a lower level.

Didn't he get Ipswich's player of the year as a twenty year old at that level?

Brucey hasn't been...fortunate to make the play offs until four good results.

In the cold light of day anyone of his supposed stature would be asking serious questions of themselves as to why they would manage a championship club.

They're only on loan to the Championship for one season.

I think it was Colback under discussion, not the manager.

A bit of a social service in giving the little boys a taste of the big time.

I've read this wrong, thought the comments were about Beiiitez!

I had to check back over posts to see who you were talking about!

That's what my money is on.

Highly unlikely now but you never know.


Whatever happens there’ll be Armageddon- as if he stays there’ll be a media frenzy all over again to further attempt to cover up the fact that they are in English League Division Two
