Rafa Wants Contract Extension

[Johnny]

Now the S*N has a frontpage saying that Klinsmann is taking over for Rafa.

"RAFA BENITEZ wants his Liverpool deal extended — as Jurgen Klinsmann waits in the wings for his job."

You gotta be more than an optimist if you think everything is fine and dandy right now in LFC.

I think I would like to see what Klinsmann could do for us. I'm not that impressed with Rafa anyway.

FFS!!!!!

What in Klinsmann's record makes you think he is a suitable choice? I know he did okay for Germany but his assistant seems to be at least largely responsible for that.

Rafa is going nowhere.


Klinsman is nowhere near the quality to manage a top 4 team.


Rafa is going nowhere.

I think that what Germay did under Klinsmann was due to him. Why do you think that his assistants should get the glory? He took a dysfunctional family and made it wholesome. At the end of the day that is down to the man in charge in my book.

I think that we need a more positive approach to win the league. I felt (and said) for a long time that Rafa was too cautious. I also think that the heavy rotation with a squad that is clearly not strong enough is a fairly bad idea.

The Pompey draw. Brum and Spurs. The Reading loss. I think that we are throwing stupid points allover the place largely due to heavy rotation. Obviously there are games where we are just unlucky. The Barcode game away last season was a prime example of that.

But in the large scheme of things I wouldn't be too upset with a new coach.

I think Klinsmann tries to play positive football and I like that.

Klinsmann?

I'm running a bath & getting the razor out.

Rafa's the man ......(Reading aside)

Klinsmann is in America and that's why they have made the link. The story aired over a week ago. Nothing new and it's as tosh now as it was then.

I think his assistant Joachim Löw deserves credit because he took over and since then he has made them into a continually improving outfit and done that without the constant home crowd benefit Jurgen did in all his competitive matches.

Both Germans (admittedly a very small sample) seem to think he was the one with the biggest input before as well.

I think that's a wee bit unfair to Klinsy, DWW.

To be honest I don't know how much the credit should be apportioned but in the context of him becoming the LFC manager someone with no club experience and a potential question mark over his international achievements would not be my choice.

I will reserve judgment on Klinnsman until at least after his next job but I would rather have someone of more experience if we were to replace Rafa, whcih I'm not in favour of myself.

[Cormack74]

Can't see Klinsmann sticking around if things got tough.

Apparently hates press intrusion too and (I think) threatened to leave the German job because of it.

[tomasjj]

Klinsmann?

His CV is lacking, so it is a clear no.

[Tom]

Before the world cup Klinsmann had a terrible reputation in germany. Really would prefer maureen to be honest.

Rafa is going nowhere FFS!!!!

Sounds like he is holding out to be sacked, as opposed to resigning.

He is after his full lot of compenation.

i recon it has more to do with securing his job, if they have to pay out more money to fire him, then they might think twice. he just wants to secure his job...
