Sorry mate but you're clueless 

Not really to be honest. 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.

Are you overlooking what he achieved at Valencia?

Say what you want but Beneitez is not overrated ffs 

okay he did well with a team he did not assemble at valencia. are you overlooking that. that team had reached two successive champions league finals prior to him taking over.

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.

Mirror article is click bait.

Mail is quoting from the Mirror.

Brilliant stuff if the Mirror has been caught with the fake letter to run that, even though it doesn't say anything except 'could', 'in the frame for' etc.

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.

Footage from Benitez’ unveiling 

[Mclean RFC 1,270]

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.

That makes no sense....look at what's happened across the city....Lennon took over a decent squad of players....because he is a shite manager it is starting to fall to pieces....surely the same thing would have happened with Benitez at Valencia rather than him being successful?

hard for it to happen at valencia when he left at the height of his success there with the team he inherited.

why then at liverpool where he had more money and higher chances of signing better players could he not win a league and had to be bailed out by gerrard in a final?

people mention inter, he lasted 6 months......

At best guess work, at worst caught by the 'letter' lol. 

Be more funny when Lennon leads them out on Wed.

Benitez isn’t going there but people acting like it wouldn’t be a coup for them, if by some chance he did end up there, are off their heads.

His last 2 appointments were China and a lower league English team it’s hardly a coup anymore.

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

The bhoy blunder 

[KingKirk 25,606]

Rafa is a right good manager so I hope not. The artcles are clickbaited to fuck tho. Headline says he's set to become. The article says he's in the frame.

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.

He's a great manager hopefully he'll go back to Newcastle or something.

Benitez is a good manager, don't know how it's possible to say otherwise. Would be a massive upgrade over what they have now that's for sure.

Ah a distraction to stop their fans protesting, they'll want their ST money soon, Btw the mail and the sun are also saying he's their next manager,

He’s really not.

Benitez has had his day, he's not been at the top level for a while. 

He's also have fuck all money to spend.
