Mourinho 'keen on Benitez's job'

[Craig_H]

Honestly thats all you think he is, a gobby outspoken git

Well i dont think he goes around hurting kids, if that's what you mean...

He's mouthy, he's arrogant and sometimes he can be a ****.

Goes with the territory, he wins things and gets teams playing for him.

I'm willing to put up with the ****e that comes with his winning methods.

With all due respect, the league IS quite important you know.

Even Houllier won cups. As far as the LEAGUE goes (you know, the BREAD AND BUTTER), Rafa's done little better than Ged did.

If Rafa had got the Chelsea job and Mourinho managed us we would probably have finished in the same positions. over the last three years.

Are we closer to winning it? Fairly sure we weren't 5th at this stage last season.

yes we are. not just in terms of this season but in general

[Craig_H]

I prefer Rafa, a nice bloke who I believe CAN will the title, many of them.

Your belief is based on emotion IMO, as opposed to any actual evidence to support the case.

I wouldn't criticise him for what he did when at Chavski. If he repeated it at Liverpool then I probably wouldn't tollerate it, but that's hypothetical again.

What about when he was calling our fans for everything and doing his shhhhhhhhh bollocks? I dont remember you singing his praises then. I dont remember anyone in fact. Now he the saviour? Dont make me laugh.

[paulcooper4]

That's the thing, he's done nothing to indicate he can in my opinion.

fair do`s, we`ll just have to agree to disagree then fella

I know we want the league!!

But he does deserve some credit for what he has done since he took over....and it is an indication of improvement.

As for Rafa has done little better than Houllier

We beat, Juve, Chavs, Barca, Chavs again etc....to get to 2 CL finals.

GH got us a spawny win against Alaves in extratime....I love it of course, but get a grip mate.

I know, cos you churn the same ****e out to anyone in support of the manager.

Feck's sake chris, it's all sodding gamesmanship.

Shanks was hardly going round being complimentary about opposition was he?

Feel free to point to some evidence that he can win the Premier League coops.

He's mouthy, he's arrogant and sometimes he can be a ****.

So its win at all costs then ??

Can you provide evidence that Mourinho could under the same constraints as Rafa?

Teams yes, fans at the game? I dont think so.

Yes and he rightly got his credit for the cup wins. But you cant live off them forever and achieve nothing else.

And in terms of the LEAGUE (which is what i SAID - re read my post), yes, Rafa has done little better than Houllier. So i'm not sure why you've used examples from the CL and UEFA Cup...when i specifically mentioned the league.

[Craig_H]

Teams yes, fans at the game? I dont think so.

It was a bit unprecedented, sure. But let's be honest, was it really such a crime? Cocky ****er, yeah. But not much more.

How did you react when he ran down the touchline at Old Trafford upon seeing Porto score that late goal?
