well without Rafa's so called ranting or crying (??) or blaming everyone (??), the evil antics or of the 2 clowns would not be exposed and things would not have developed to today. another thing rafa is the one who brought back the King! and the re-org. of the Academy & reserves. enough said. where can we get so many players for $20 mil each in those days for goodness sake??
rafa's earned my respect!!
absolute nonsense they would have been as they did brought to book by the business world ,its was not benitez job to moan cry rant and blame everyone under the sun , his job was to manage a football team which he failed at .
Rafa did very well until H&G came along and interfered. Coincidence? I think not!
you know what it astounds me it really does you would be taking to believe he had no money what so ever to spend under the reign of hicks and gillett , ok it wasnt chelsea or city amounts but he had money and wasted most of it , and tell me if his job was so bad to do and he was so downtrodden by H&G why did he agree a 5 year deal with a massive pay rise and FULL CONTROL if his conditions were so bad ?
Where have I said that he didn't have any money?
All sorts of bobbins was going on at anfield when those 2 clowns were in charge - the majority of which we haven't got a clue about. Some rumours you will choose to believe to suit your own agenda, some you won't - it's human nature.
All I know is that they played a large part in his downfall.
But that's irrelevant because that's not what this thread is about. It's a theoretical look at what type of players Rafa would have bought had he been in Kenny's position, in comparison to henderson, downing, adam etc. It's not a dig or at anyone, neither is it support for anyone - just a look at the different types they go for.
Let's open it further so as not to confuse the issue - what type of players would Hodgson have bought as well..?..on second thoughts, that's the stuff of nightmares!!
