You're really not joking with this Keane thing are you?
you say we're 'nearly there', simple question how 'nearly there' did you feel the club were when Benitez took over? the answer is light years away, in 4 years on less nett money than the teams around him, he has taken the club from competing with Everton, Birmingham, Tottenham and Newcastle for the final CL spot to a team that is argubly 2nd best in the country, behind only a Man U team that are able to leave £30 million pound strikers on the bench in CL games.
Like i've said elsewhere, i don't think he's perfect and some of his decisions baffle me, but if you honestly think Roy 'Luis Garcias Bitch' Keane can do a better job then I honestly despair!
