not for me. fairly crap manager in fairness. another one that was afraid to play footy. plus I didn't like some of the things he came out with. ie spitting diouf will never walk alone. in the end failed but brought success winning the first european trophy since roma 84 to the club also brought sami hyypia and hamann to the club and took liverpool into the champions league for the first time , like benitez started well but failed , but i like him backing brendan which shows a bit of class , unlike a certain other ex manager who hasnt which doesnt surprise me one bit .

oh yeah no doubt he has his good points..hyppia probably the best buy ever. I turned against him over litmanen..smashing player but we hoofed it so much we could never fit him in.

i think away from the game GH is prob a decent fella. Rafa isn't too bad I bet either..just rafa wants back in and Gh knows he is not ever to return.

None of them are legends but they were greats for this club. Kenny Dalglish is a legend and so was Shankly/Paisley for many years of success but winning a few cups here and there doesn't place you under the legend bracket, not for me anyway.

Why do these things always have to turn into dick-measuring contests? Some people on here let their "my dad could beat your dad up" syndrome cloud their judgement.
Brendan, Kenny, Rafa, Gérard. One's the current manager, and the others are previous managers. None of them are in competition with each other, and none of them are a threat to the current manager, so there's no need to act like they are.
Personally I think Gérard and Rafa both did enough in their time at the club to be considered legends. Both delivered a number of trophies to the club. If people want to let their personal feelings towards either individual cloud the achievements of them, then that's their own problem.
