Their penny pinching and 'sell before you buy/work with what you've got' attitude certainly helped to shape the team, yes.

houllier took us into the champs league. rafa took us out You missed out the bit where we reached 2 finals and won one of them! What's more important to you - the taking part or the winning? For the record, Houllier didn't take us into the champions league - it was a change in the rules that allowed us to take part. Roy Evans had us finishing 3rd/4th for years before Houllier arrived.

so the record says it was houllier that took us into the champs league.
we won one yes. it was a fluke though, crap mixed with heroic stevie G moments.
rafa was good at keeping the scores down Verus mourinho cause mourinho went all negative too. but he ballsed up both finals , the second one was an easy win, milan were past it, but rafa gave it up with crap

If you don't recognise that as being something special, that says more about you as fan that it does about Rafa Benitez. What has Dalglish achieved as a manager in europe? or as a manager outside of English football?

What has Dalglish achieved as a manager in europe? or as a manager outside of English football? Were we not banned in Europe in KD days as Manager the first time? May be you are thinking the Blackburn could have won the Champions Cup, but was KD still the manager the season following the Premierleague winning season? Not sure, may be I am wrong. By the way, what has RB won inside English football for 6 years, one FA cup.
