KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum the cult and myth of benitez

ok i under stand to some he is better than shankly and paisley because he has been the only manager who had brought some success to liverpool and fine i understand that , and benitez gets kudos and lives on his CL success more than anything , but he hasnt worked for 2 years now after taking liverpool to 7th and failing at inter milan , but the cult and in my opinion myth of rafa benitez is now poisoning everything that now surrounds the club and its getting very very very unhealthy , brendan rodgers IS THE NEW LIVERPOOL MANAGER and lets get it right he is still new to it , hasnt had massive funds to spend and has a weak squad due to other managers waste , and now the benitez for liverpool bandwagon is starting to roll , which i believe is very very wrong , haven't we all had our fingers badly burnt by ex club legends returning as manager ????, ok maybe fenway are not the people for LFC that is to be seen now and in the near future , but come reds if rodgers fails he fails , but this clamour for benitez every week is for me very very embarrassing for our club and its supporters , its really sad that the fans cant 100% back a manager unless its benitez or dalglish at a push sad days people and sad that people cant give backing to rodgers due to the cult and myth that surrounds benitez . i am sad to have this opinion but it believe it to be correct .

I think you're a damn good poster Fazakerley but this one has been done to death. I love Benitez but I agree with you. And I like Rodgers. I am willing to give Rodgers the duration of his contract. Not just this season or the next. By then we'll know.

tragic, people obsessed with benitiez , they can't stop starting threads on him!

+1

Rodgers has my full support and I can see what he wants to do with our great club.

I don't want Rafa or Kenny back but they do need to be acknowledged for the good they good they and not consistently punished and slated for the things that didn't work!

I can see BR getting the club back up the table and being a success again and understand he needs time which is what he should be given.

YNWA

Pointless thread. Yawn.

is it ? do you back rodgers ?

Faz, you want people to stop talking about Rafa, yet you make a new thread about it. That would seem to be counter-productive to what you're trying to achieve. There was absolutely no need for a new thread for it in the first place anyway.

I like Rafa, as you probably know already. In no way, shape or form is that connected to my backing of Rodgers. BR has my support 100%. Rafa as Liverpool manager hasn't even entered my head since Rodgers was appointed. This is a big hullabaloo over nothing. If people want to remember Rafa fondly, then that's their business, and it's not your place to tell them not to, or to tell them how poisonous you think he is.

Faz i do agree with what was said almost everything you say on here i can agree with and alot of the time id change my own opinion because yours makes more sense. But i think this has been put to bed already. Me as a person as Ian Horgan am willing to give Brendan Rodgers 100% support for the full length of his contract and maybe even beyond. Im sure many others are the same. I, like you, remember when Rafa was here and i do recall alot more negatives than positives. The way he treated some players was shocking, the marking was terrible, only 1 in 10 signings were proper class (that said the crap ones cost next to nothing) and the main thing for me is HE, ON HIS OWN, 100% BY HIMSELF RUINED THE EUROPEAN CUP CHAMPIONS AND TREBLE WINNERS (Inter Milan). He also did wonderful things, Istanbul, FA Cup, Clean Sheet record etc. but I think its time to put this to bed and as you say EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US (Including JoeCool and Carheex) just shut up and let Brendan do his job. If you agree +1 me if not, i dont care i wont be replying. But this is how i see it. And another thing, YNWA.

sound mate and spot on but i dont believe the supporters are wanting to back rodgers just the way i see it and it upsets me and puts my faith and love in liverpool f.c. down because of this .

I'm behind Rodgers 100%. I embrace the history and past of the club, but I refuse to let it interfere with or be an obstacle to the present and future.
