Thanjk you.

I think Warnock is just having some mischievous fun.
To underline this theory, Fulham's current manager said Yesterday that it is not in the best interests of the relegation threatened clubs to play against a weakened Liverpool team. He said that he would prefer it ,if a weaker team was NOT fielded. He asserts that the big guns would have the Champion's League on their minds and therefore under-perform.
Warnock is one of those characters whom we only come to appreciate once they go missing from the game. I have no doubt that someone will quote my previous sentence out of context - the context is, he makes mischievous fun as a form of attention whoring.
When asked about Warnock's rant after the game, Benitez said:
"Somebody told me about these comments. We knew he was bad as a manager, pre-historic, but we didn't know he was a person like this.
"I will talk with my lawyers but we don't need to waste time with him."
The Spaniard continued: "Every manager has a responsibility for his team selections in every game and I also have a responsibility to use my squad.
"I picked a team I believed could win the match. We now need, after this win, just one more point to ensure fourth place in the league, even if Everton win all their remaining games."

Rafa Benitez will consult his lawyers after hilarious and bitter claims made by Neil Warnock over his team selection.
Benitez was speaking after his much changed Liverpool side beat relegation strugglers Fulham 2-0, almost exactly a year after he fielded a weakened team against the same side.
On that occasion Fulham won, leaving Warnock furious that Benitez had disrespected his Sheffield United side, who were of course eventually relegated.
Warnock - never a man to let these things go - dredged up the game again in The Daily Mail on Saturday, claiming that he hoped Liverpool would never win another trophy under Benitez.
He said: "My advice to Reading, Bolton and the rest would be, if you're expecting any favours, don't hold your breath. They will have to do it themselves.
"The fact of the matter is that if Liverpool were already out of the Champions League and needed to win to get fourth spot, they would play their strongest side.
"Instead, I fully expect them to play a weakened team at Fulham.
"It's part of a big club's mentality. They look after themselves and they don't bother about anyone else. The whole story that Sheffield United were going down and me having a pop at them afterwards was just treated like fish and chip paper by them. Liverpool didn't care because they weren't the ones getting hurt by it all.
"I'm still very bitter about it and personally I hope Liverpool never win another trophy under Benitez. I like them as a club but I would be very pleased to see them win nothing."

According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.
Consulting lawyers? Warnock's a tool of the highest order, but what law has he broken? Bizarre. We've got more important things to think about, Rafa's had his reply, and he should just leave it there.

Surely this is a Shaggy special. I'm not sure Rafa's english vocabulary extends to words like pre-historic.
I also doubt that he would be that disrespectful to ANYONE.
