i would have AVB over rafa but that just my personal opinion
I agree with this, which is the way I voted on that thread a while back. I'd probably even take Capello over Rafa, because he has the superior record in terms of winning things (though winning La Liga twice with a club not named Barcelona or Real Madrid is quite an achievement).
But I will not accept a bunch of no marks like Rodgers and Martinez over one of only two managers who really understands LFC - the other having just vacated the post.
Dalglish was the only guy who could replace Hodgson; even the naysayers can't dispute that. Rafa may well be the only guy who can replace Dalglish in taking up the poisoned chalice of LFC. I'd like to see what he can do at a club where the owners back him. But at the same time I'd like to see what AVB can do at a club where the owners back him, and I suspect he fits the FSG profile far better than Benitez.
