I don't blame him on either downing or Carroll..it was clear Carroll was not in his plans so it was a case of letting carroll know this and get him out asap, downing doesn't have the metal for a club such as ours, state of him pulling out of that tackle yesterday..he can head off.
Allen is a class player so no problem there, borini is crap and for 11m we could have gotten so many other bargins. michu,ba and others .

truth and honesty is what you crave ????
Rafael Benitez: “I can guarantee we will finish in the top four” Rafael Benitez's final season in charge of Liverpool was not going well when, in December 2009, despite the Reds trailing fourth-placed Arsenal by seven points, Benitez predicted an upturn in fortunes. Not only did Liverpool not finish in the top four, they didn't finish in the top five. Or top six. A seventh-place finish

We didn't have the luxury to devalue him even more. He had just come through a very difficult season and it was in the club's interests for BR to at least coach him for a while and try and give him a boost. I could understand if we sold him and used the funds to by a Torres style player, but we didn't. When Rafa joined I don't think he considered too many players as being in his plans. remember Djimi Traore? Yet he made the best of what he had and the rest is history. I like what BR is trying to do and Im confident it will come off in good time. But we didn't need to make such a dogs dinner of the short term.
