Genuine question:

Now he is back in the game, does this now make it more or less likely that he will be our manager in the summer?

Golly, what's happening to BR in the summer that will stop him from being our manager. Faz has a right to be annoyed at people like you but he often perceives it as what we all think! BR is the manager and should receive our full support, stop making pointless threads about the man, I've said this in another thread

I don't think he's a bad manager at all. His last season at Liverpool was quite poor but it was still better than anything we've had since in terms of performances. Hodgson was a disaster all day long and brought far worse players than Benitez ever did in the likes of Poulsen and Konchesky, Dalglish continued the awful work by brining even more.

Prior to 2009-10 Liverpool did very well. We were among top CL sides for three or four seasons in a row, making final twice and winning one of them, we managed to fight for a title for the first time in God knows how long and generally had decent cup runs with some remarkable performances (4-0 against Real Madrid at Anfield, 2-1 against Barcelona at Nou Camp, beating Mourinho's Chelsea to a final twice).

Inter job wasn't easy, he inherited European champions but they were an old team with no transfers, they had no hunger left in them anymore and he was only allowed to work for 3 or 4 months. I wouldn't mock him or say he had disrupted them in any way as it was too short a period.

I don't expect him to work miracles and turn Chelsea's season around somehow but if they stick with him, they might get good results out of this.

And when you look at Liverpool, at no point in late 90s or early 2000s before Benitez took over did we look like we could win something significant and he made it happen. He also got us close to winning the league quite against the odds back when united were on top with Ronaldo & Rooney pulling the strings at their best, winning 86 points.

Also, winning the league at Valencia against an extremely good Real Madrid side was a fine achievement too.



He is not our manager though, Brendan is so please leave it at that as you're clearly trying to stir sh!t up

I was going to start a rafa Benitez thread as I couldn't find one to post in.

I'll just keep looking.

It does seem strange to me that with the recent appointment of Benitez to Chelsea that he isnt even being mentioned on this forum!
