Why has he been and Newcastle and China the past 6 years if he’s relevant? Youve included a list of what he’s won all cups including a fair few glorified friendlies. Also got knocked out of Champions league qualifiers with Napoli. We’re in 2021 now his ‘success ‘ is a long time ago now. Sir Alex won the Champions league 3 years after Benítezs success with Liverpool and reached a final in 2011. Wouldn’t want him rocking up at Ibrox either in the summer. Benitez is passed it and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if he joined the tarriers. Mclean RFC 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 To be honest, Benitez is exactly the kind of name they will be forced into going for, its the only way they will get them to buy season tickets. He will cost a big whack and there are no guarantees he will bring success. He is however a big step up from Lennon. They could appoint some diddy, but they will lose money because they wont renew their tickets. They will pay more for Benitez but they will make the money back with the revenue he brings in. I actually always considered him overrated as well, but he must be decent with all the opinions of him with those who worked with him. I think he might struggle to adapt to playing with limited players again, having become accustomed to teams with massive budgets. I still doubt they will get him, but if they do, they will be a much bigger threat next season. magic8ball and plumbGER 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez is passed it and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if he joined the tarriers. they seem to forget most of his success was from from teams he did not build. look what his squad building did to liverpools finances. and like i have said before the great rafa was 3-0 down at half time in a champions league final and was bailed out by steven gerrard. then you look at newcastle, that team he left was minging and all he could do was blame ashley and run to china.

Mclean RFC 1,271 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 the fact that benitez spent a fortune at liverpool and he left newcastle because of a lack of funds pretty much means the celtic job would not be appealing to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool were playing catch up to Man utd and Chelsea in those days, I couldn't say for sure but I believe he was close in one of his seasons to win the league.....two champions league finals out of 3yrs isn't luck mate People on here were making similar cases when brenda went to them.....like I've said I don't believe he will end up at the papes but if he did then he is a far superior manager to tlb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle aren’t a “lower league” English team and plenty of managers and players who are too good to be there have chased the money in China. You can try and spin it however you want to try and make it suit your argument that he isn’t a good manager but Benitez has a strong CV and he would be a significant step up in quality, not only from Lennon, but also from the other names who have been “touted” for it like John Kennedy, Eddie Howe, Jack Ross and so on.
