To answer your question Injun, not a chance.

Unfortunately I fear this thread is going to become swamped with reasons why (his and only his) from 'you know who'

this is a bait, im waiting for the big fish to take before i strike and land a nice big Emperor carp:)

Losing Benitez would be a disaster, still think we should give him 2-3 years more, and if no progress then get rid of him, but I am pretty sure even with those American buffoons in charge, we could still lure a far higher profile, more experienced Manager than Zola.

One plus point would be that he wouldn't block my view when he stands up in front of where I sit at Anfield like some of the lanky sods do. Hmm maybe him, Sammy Lee and Alan Ball could become our Management team, I'd never get an obstructed view again.

Zola would have put the same midfield out as it would be all he had. Xabi would have gone no matter who was in charge and if there is no money to buy a top class, fit replacement what can you do?

I think you are being blinded by your dislike for Benitez. Benitez wouldn't have played that midfield against Spurs if he was given more money to strengthen that area. I agree that Benitez can be too negative and can be too tactical but who's to say that Zola would be better. He could be too nieve tactically and that could also cost us. Look at West Brom and Stoke last year. WB played attractive football and Stoke played defensive and more tactically and who is still in the Premier league?

Benitez has his faults as will every manager but getting rid at this time isn't the answer.

Lmfao Zola plays proper stylish footbal, class manager? By every new post you show us how dumb and blinded you are, your iq must be twice smaller than number of your footwear.

Dunno. Have you asked him seeing as you appear to be his number one fan?

wake up Joe!!!! you've got a run on the middle rod and the Delkim's screeeeeming!!! Strike you noddy :P

I agree yossi instead of Babel
Gerrard and Torres have a good understanding and seem to be on the same wave length so I wouldn't drop him into midfield.
Gerrard and Torres were among the top 7 scorers last season and that was with both being out for a number of games.

emp,

zola does seem like a nice man but so does steve bruce but i don't want him managing liverpool.

zola was a good player who won a league once with maradona (in his prime) in the team. that's mediocre success but then i don't think being a great player really translates into managerial success. ferguson or wenger weren't exactly superstar players...nor shanks nor paisley but great managers.

zola is rookie manager who had one good season at west ham.

so emp, my questions to you are: do you give a damn is zola is a nice guy? or whether he was a good player? or a good manager? alan curbishly had great success over many seasons at charlton...using your rationale should we get him in? or rou rodgson?

in short, whereas i'm not rafa's biggest fan...and intermittantly you create the odd rational arguement against him. but you suggesting zola seems very flimsy indeed.
