KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benitez has now been contacted

that's going to be the case with any manager except perhaps Pep and Mourinho.

your wrong because benitez has a track record of this , and i dont think AVB or martinez would have conflict with the owners like sadly benitez is known for .

TAKE THAT ON BOARD MIGHTY BUT HE WOULD WANT TO CLEAR MOST OF THE 1ST TEAM OUT AND BRING HIS OWN PLAYERS IN ALSO SOMEONE MASDE A PONT ABOUT THE FRACTURED RELATIONSHIPS WITH CERTAIN PLAYERS COULD SPIRAL US TOTALLY DOWN

take you cap locks off mate

CAPS

Speaks for itself.

never understood that. lucas came good , basically once rafa left. but he didn't deserve to play back then. he was a nightmare and we were going for stuff, he cost us.

What I'd love for you to explain KopProphet is this, now, I hate the vulture media more than anyone and constantly say it. Now,

1) You've said Rafa has no chance.
2) The rumors of £30mill for the new manager are just "paper talk"
3) But, FSG have done well at trying to sound out Guardiola.....

....and where did you get number 3 from again?

Surely thats just paper talk to?

It's only a small minority of Liverpool fans that are protesting against Rafa coming back. The majority probably didn't want Kenny to go in the first place, and I also get some of those majority will be blind Rafa lovers. But not every single one of them, as this minority will throw out.

A lot of people would have Rafa back because they have thought about it and looked at the list of the obvious candidates. Regardless of him managing us before, HE IS a candidate for this position, whether you like it or not. Before yesterday I doubted a Rafa return, but around 4-5pm yesterday I BELIEVE he was sounded out for the job, only a select few will be, that was before a certain paper broke the story. I also BELIEVE he was contacted weeks if not months ago about a return (which I feel Kenny knew about)

Ian Ayre also confirmed to us that Rafa won't be ruled out.

That doesn't mean HE WILL get the job, but he IS a candidate whether you like it or not and you can come on here telling us he isn't an option....even when he obviously is, and unless you can conclusively say he isn't, then....

It's almost like people know he is and maybe there gut feeling is telling them he is going to get the job, and they are holding onto every single bookcase, table, lamp and wall with there finger tips, trying to prevent this from happening.

At the end of the day, you can say he isn't an option....even when the only bloke who is saying anything at the club (Ian Ayre), who also confirmed they plan to have this all sorted within 2 weeks, and there are lots of candidates, said Rafa is an option...not out of respect or to keep some supporters happy as you'll make people believe....but out of managerial merit.

If Rafa gets the job he will deserve it on that basis, end of.

Craney great post.

Lets just forget that Rafa has ever managed us before, Yes I know its hard for some of you but lets wipe him out of our memory for a bit and look at his CV. Looking at the likes of Martinez, AVB et al, I would definitely take Rafa before them because he has achieved more in the game. We want a top manager and Rafa is one of those managers whether you like it or not as my good friend craney put it. I back Rafa for the job not because I am nostalgic, and not because I love the man so much, but because he is and always will be regarded as a top manager. We need a top manager to get us back towards the top table and Rafa is one of those candidates that can achieve this.
