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

interim manager before mourinho... could win europa like he did in chavland.

worrying...

 

Well he's won domestic and european trophies more recently than blockhead so I'm sure they'd love the step up. Might do better in the CL too if they make it in that is.....

 

It would worry me if Rafa joined United. The worry he would succeed would bother me more than the laugher at the back pedaling United fans would amuse me.

 

If he won them the EL like MITO suggests then they'd be in the CL the following season

 

He's not a very good manager. It doesn't matter which club he goes to next, that won't change!

 

Good point! Can't win them the league cup obviously but they are still in the FA cup!

 

And the EL!

 

even klopps not a miracle worker.

rafa could only get the europa with a CL QF standard team as the players binned the FA cup that year too... the sulks.

Utd don't have a good team so winning the europa would be a big achievement. Utd won't be in Fa cup by the time van beavis gets the sack.

 

Mweh, other than a few more league titles beefed up by a bygone dutch league his record matches your present incumbent.

 

Rafa the journeyman

 

Been some journey lol...fat sam and pardew and even Hodgeson would have loved that journey scattered with silverwear

 

Did Liverpool have a good team in 2004-05?

 

4 clubs in 5 years.....

He was never going to last at Madrid, it was a weird appt.

Does he head back to Merseyside now and sit waiting for Klopp to realise he's been sold a pup?

 

He's even worse than LVG!

 

Apparently he made an early impression on Ronaldo by taking him to one side and lecturing him on how to improve his goal scoring.

 

More likely he'll take over from Gnev at Valencia in the summer lol

 

Think he did something similar at us about corners or something

 

To be fair Real are sitting third not fifth......

 

Fulfilled his dream so why not? Not many managers get more than one season there anyway. Plus, he would have believed in himself so probably expected to do better and be there longer.

 

I know you're only on the wum, but that's an interesting phrase.
A manager is brought in to improve a side- otherwise what's the point of him being there? Some, like Mourinho, seem to think that the team should be ready made to provide success for them personally.
Klopp's been given a task which is bigger than he anticipated, imo- now it's time to see what he's made of.

Maybe Rafa will come back to Merseyside and lurk menacingly around Goodison?
