Well it comes down to the old British media, build some one up place them on the highest possible pedestal and whilst they sit defiantly at the top of the perch that the media have placed them upon, they set about a very public character assassination of that said person.
How many times have we seen this happen before Beckham could be used as the ultimate example, they built him up as the Darling of the English media/public, but the moment Mr Beckham was sent off against the Argies they set about with a hate filled vile public assassination of Beckham that resulted in Beckham having effigies of him burned in the streets to death threats against him & his family.
Did Beckham deserve this ? Did a recently married young man with young children deserve to be victimised and traumatised in such way over a game of football ?, Football allegiances aside, Common Sense tells you no he did not deserve it and nor did his family, It was vindictive and completely unjust and I'm sure in everyday walks of life that could be seen as inciting violence in a court of law.
The flip side to this event is the sending of Rooney against Portugal during winkergate, which was a very similar situation, was Rooney given the same vindictive character assassination and death threats ?, The answer is no because they already had their pantomime villain in mind none other than Rooneys club team mate Christiano Ronaldo, but in light of these events did Christiano Ronaldo receive the same hate filled vile vendetta against him to the same extent as Beckham.
The answer is no, Obviously they filled their daily collumn inches quota , but to a far lesser degree than they did with Beckham quite simply because they put him there and it was their divine right to knock him down a peg or two, which was not the case with Ronaldo.
Now it comes back to Rafa and the Manc loving I want to suck the juices from Fergies rectum media, They know they have not built Rafa up and placed him on this pedestal, Rafa is a man of his own means, who made his name in Spain before coming to England. Now we all know Rafa has often had very little time for the English media, only giving to them what is necessary at most time pre-match post match interviews etc.
So it comes down to whats the best way to take the man down ?
The answer is the way the only English media know how, a vindictive hate filled very public character assassination of Rafa, with more inaccuracies and fabrication making the headlines than insightful well researched truthful honest Journalism, the latter I can only count on one hand that I have seen this season. The media outlets that portray such vendetta's have their own agenda's and it's blatantly obvious it's open day on Rafael Benitez and they are hoping the less informed will buy into their bullshit.
So its down to us fellow reds to educate each other with our knowledge/research and to stand up and give a contrasting opinion/voice of reason and present the facts, not some hate filled Anti Rafa agenda filled dossier of inaccuracy's and blatant lies that are decremental to our great club.
So F**k ex players of the likes of Collymore, F**k Sky Pundits such as Andy Gray, F**k the Journalist's of Chris Baschombe's ilk, Just remember the true words of "You'll never walk alone", they represent what this club is all about and the mentality as fans we should posses, Yes we are walking through a storm right now, but I know one thing, no matter how the media try and portray us, I will hold my head up high.
