KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum rafa benitez apreciation thread

There is no way Rafa is ever coming back to Liverpool.

1. For all the reasons Faz has articulated
2. Once Daglish fails there is no way the owners will entertain another ex manager especially one who some fans want. They will pick their own man next time particularly when they have more knowledge of the game.

Thundyr, you talk as much sense as anyone else i've seen on this forum. You're arguing with someone who talks as little sense as anyone i've seen on this forum. Faz doesn't know the definition of a debate, because no matter what you say to him, he has already has his mind made up and will ignore addressing your valid points in favour of repeating his own invalid ones over and over.

sorry what has it got to do with a manchester united employee ?

so lets get it right i am supposed to not say wha i think and cave in to the blind nonsense you all talk about benitez this poor downtroodden misunderstood man who we feel sorry for .

You can never say never in football, SP. I agree with part of what you're saying - I don't think he'll be the next manager whenever Kenny's reign comes to an end, but say Kenny stayed for 3 years and our next manager stays for 3 years - 6 years down the line and Rafa may have gone on to be successful somewhere else, and LFC may be looking to bring him back to try work some magic here. Ifs and buts galore, but it's just my point - you can never say never, because you don't know what's around the corner.

100% spot on stanley .

No not at all. You have your own opinions and you're perfectly entitled to them, but you falsely brand other people with different opinions as "blind" amongst other things. You're never open to debate, just argument.

i think they are blind faithers and blinkered about benitez , theres aquliani in todays mirror talking about a 6 million euro deal to milan , this is the player benitez said was worth 30 million never mind 20 million how much again was wasted by him and the club still suffers from .

never though KD was coming back either

Is this debate really about whether or not Rafa is coming back? Seems more like people wanting to have a go at him for old times sake, as well has having a go at the supporters who thought he did an excellent job prior to H&G and a half decent one thereafter.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Rafa should not manage at LFC until all the players he (mis)managed are no longer playing for the club. That puts a likely return at least 10 years into the future, if at all. Time enough for him to learn some humility to add to his tactical acumen. Time enough for LFC to find a "lifer" manager ala Paisley instead.

None of this is relevant to the success or failure of Dalglish (don't you love how the haters will find even the most tenuous of excuses to remind us how hopeless we are as a football club - do these people really support LFC?), nor to the "truths" of Rafa's reign (real or imagined) as seen by a section of the crowd who feel we were better off not buying a left back instead of signing on Dossena. Anyone notice how good our defense was last season without a left back? That's not a defense of the player (who was awful), merely the point that in some cases you just have to gamble because any player is better than no player at all. Sadly, Rafa wasn't a very good gambler.
