I think that's a little harsh Joecool, Benitez brought some of the best success we've had in years and at times we played fantastically (granted at times we played poorly as well). Why do you have such an opinion of his tenure?
I think when it comes to Benitez I honestly think the bad he done the Club in the end far outweighed the good he done as in the trophies he won. I was never a fan of his dictatorish management style, his stubborness or his inability to accept any blame, the man is pure toxic as the unfortunate Massimo Morratii found out to his cost when he appointed him as manager of Inter Milan, Benitez took them from being the best Club in Europe to about the 6th best team in Italy in the matter of about 5 or 6 months, says it all really...
