Off Topic How long is Rafa Benitez going to last in his dream job?

Just had a quick look and you are much closer than me, we paid just under £60m for him and sold him for £46m

Depay was known as a prospect (potential) but was hardly a world name.

 

First one I found

Why would a big team worry about £3m?

In that link, how the **** is that the owner of a football club?

 

Money

To be honest I would have taken it to be a kid getting a selfie with a footballer

 

I thought some random 9 year old Man Utd fan at the airport

 

Yep "lucky boy"

Turned out it was "very ****ing lucky boy"

 

Seems he has form for doing this kind of stuff in Spain

Benitez was in charge of Valencia when they were disqualified from the Copa del Rey having played too many non-EU players in a tie in 2001.

Atletico lose and Real Madrid win 10-2

 

Not a good sign for Spanish football when a top tier side loses in double figures...

 

To be fair the opposition were winning when it was 11 v 11. They were drawing when it was 10 v 11. It all went to **** when it was 9 v 11!!

 

I saw that... but 10?? 4-6 conceded is a heavy loss!

 

I see there was a typical Rafa substitution too; 74mins in and 8-2 up, he takes Bale off and puts Arbeloa on #shutupshop

 

The wolves are circling. THE WOLVES ARE CIRCLING. DIE WÖLFE KREISEN !!!!

 

Real sack Rafa and appoint Mourinho. Rafa then rejoins Chelsea

 

Ballague saying Rafa to be sacked this afternoon.

 

What a surprise.

 

United next up for Rafa

 

That would be very funny, watching all the mancs squirm whilst changing their decade long opinion of the "fat Spanish waiter"

 

Is spain in their winter break now?

it seems they score a great goal but then chucked in another draw for garry boring neville.... criminal.

it'll be interesting to see what happens.
