KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The last of the Legends

faz i know not all his time here was rosy. especially the last season.

Love him,hate him,Rafa's name like the ten commandments is set in stone so come out from behind your bush and see the light.Rafa has his name etched in the archives of our club.One of our legends for ever.

So faz it's OK for you to start a thread on Bob Paisley (an ex-mananger) the other day because you happen to like him.
But if someone starts a thread on Rafa Benitez (another ex-manager) you condemn them out of hand.

Double standards once again.

Don't take the bait. No real LFC fan could hate a manager that took us to 2 Champions League finals winning one of them. We hadn't been to one for over 20 years before Rafa took over and don't look like even 'qualifying' for the CL for a good few years yet, let alone reaching another final. So what if he now manages Chelsea?

I'm not saying that the likes of Faz "aren't" real fans...it's more likely that they enjoy winding people up, but deep down they must appreciate how good Rafa was.

Of course Rafael Benitez is a legend.

Benitez was very good at times and very bad at times, he won us a champions league final and at the same time he also lost us one, he left the club in dire straits to the point three managers have all tried to fix the damage he caused and up until now no avail, when you think, the club has spent over 200 million pound trying to put the mistakes the incompetent Benitez made since you get the picture of how much badness he did cause towards the end at the Club so for that reason the bad he done far outweighed the good, hard to name him alongside true Club legends...

excuse me happened to like sir bob paisley !!! the greatest and most successful manager this club has ever had the man along with bill shankly moulded this club into the club it is and you talk like he was no one and as for mr carheex get facts right please hate what a vile word i dont hate anyone maybe you do but i dont and i certainly don't HATE an ex liverpool manager who now managers chelsea , but how sad is it the way people talk about bob paisley like he was just an ordinary man .

I do not need you to tell me who Bob Paisley was and as usual with you another drama starts.

Where did I say anything insulting about Bob Paisley?
I didn't, but yet again with you it's high on drama low on fact.

Bob Paisley was without doubt a great manager but he was also most definitely an ordinary man with no airs or graces who remembered where he came from.

It's a pity you couldn't show the same humility when talking about another club legend Rafa Benitez, who also brought home the biggest trophy in European club football in 2005.

bob paisley , rafa benitez massive gulf there my mate and it wasnt me who said i started a thread about bob because "i liked him" , i started that paisley thread because it was a nice story about one of the great men who moulded our club , plus won 6 leagues , 3 league cups , 1 uefa cup and 3 european cups and you talk about legends thats a true legend .

Yet again I dont need you to tell me what Bob Paisley won, (google is handy for that)

Your nice story the other day was so amusing that it lead to the thread having to be locked.

I think both men are legends and you dont decide who is a club legend and who isnt so come down of your high horse.

Your opinion is no better than anyone elses and your views are tainted by an unhealthy obsession with Rafa Benitez.

do you think benitez is on the same level as paisley as a manager or as a club legend ?????
