Rafael Benitez Discussion Thread

It's gonna break your heart when Rafa wins the Europa League isn't it.

I notice the absence of a year in that sentence.

What will break my heart is him turning up here to blow another €300 million, then blow more title chases on draws with two defensive midfielders at home to West Ham and Stoke, and go out of the cup to someone like Rochdale, falling out with everyone he could along the way.

It's 25 years since No. 18 came home. I don't want to waste another 25 years waiting for him to bring it back.

We waited 21 years for the European cup and he brought it home his first season you donkey , and nothing from you as to the situation in which Rafa found himself with the financial problems in which the cowboys left us in .

There is no way the guy is a red, which is why he chooses to critiscise Rafa. He can in doing so criticise the reds and also Rafa's time here really lifted this club and we stopped Chelsea having the rein in Europe that their money was earmarked for, and this really cuts some people up still.

Makes you wonder as he never contributes in any other thread. Sad that he can't see what Rafa did here especially in light of the current incumbent.

He hasn't much to say about anything else  except cut the sh*t out of Rafa every chance he gets .Rafa confounded Mourinho at every opportunity and gave us fantastic times i'd love him back again .

The feelings you got on them European nights  were even more precious given whats gone on since top rated team in Europe and still some cant see it , makes you wonder what they really want .

Rafa a top class manager, who not only brought back the glory of winning the Champions League in Instanbul, as we all know too well. But also stood up to Fergie  old whiskey nose in a way no other manager seemed dare do. Rafa certainly has been an impossible act to follow in most supporters eyes.

Something else to shut the doubters of this great manager up:

Marco Gabbiadini come out of retirement? 

You know what - whenever I see Rafa I smile. I like that.

NOTE: This is absolutely nothing to do with BR, our current manager - merely a statement of facht.

He wouldn't stand a chance of returning though as long as FSG are here because he isn't a yes man.
