Too much

never said he didnt sign good players he did but he wasted millions on total dross as well , even roy hodgson bought a good player in raul meireles and scouted out suarez , not sure about dalglish second time around though i think brendan is ahead of him with joe allen .

Dalglish got it 100% wrong. Of all the expensive signings one year on all we have are two squad players. Amazing

All managers sign duds.

Fergie signed plenty down the years.

Taibi (goalkeeper who patented teflon gloves)
Bellion (as mad as a bicycle)
Djemba Djemba (wouldn't get a game in an over 40's match)
Bebe (bought him without seeing him play and paid for it
Veron (bought for £28m sold 2 seasons later for £15m. No one had told him you were expected to run in Premiership games)
Ralph Milne (as dangerous as an overdose of rice krispie buns)

but he wins leagues and european cup regular so your point is ?

So did Dalglish and Rafa, so your point is?

Even the greats make mistakes.

but did benitez win leagues on a regular basis ? and when it comes to benitez greats bit strong that i think .

Rafa had a competing for the top four places and champions leagues runs, we had it good back then and took all that for granted.

so Rafa is a legend in my book
