klopp. he's immense. rafa is right up there, i'm just less sure about bringing back another legend, and watching him fail. not that i really think he would.

43.37% of people on this forum don't want Benitez back. WTF?

christ, why is this so hard to understand? I speak for no one but myself, but I was thoroughly sick to the back teeth of the man and was and still am delighted he got sacked. I blame the media though for my shortcomings and instilling all my negative thoughts towards the man that can walk on water. My entire reasoning comes from sky, fergie, the english media and all the other non believers. Watching us for a period of 6 seasons does not come into the argument and nor should it. I didn't pay to join the cult of rafa worship, my bad.

They say acceptance is the first stop on the road to recovery though so there is hope for you yet, bobbo.

AVB back to betting favourite between evens and 6-4
Martinez drifting to 3-1
Rafa has been holding steady at between 6-1 and 7-1

I feel we've been here before. Is this where I make a detailed post explaining the ins and outs of why betting odds are irrelevant and should be ignored, and you then reply telling me that you didn't think they were in the first place, but just thought you'd post them anyway?

FWIW (not a lot) I think we will have a new manager on Thursday

that, or thursday week.

[kingfunk]

If I was a betting man (which I'm not) I would say this Thursday. Not sure if that means I would say this Thursday, or not?

Just swoop for Di Matteo.

Ha ha ha ha ha

I wanted AVB last summer and I would HAPPILY have him now. One year with a shower of c*nts at Chelsea undermining him in the locker room doesn't begin to express his potential as a manager. If the players embraced him, he could have us flying.

I would take AVB aswell, but am just wondering is there anything in his pay off saying he can't manage in England for 12 months, I think Mourinho had this and even Ranieri.

I though about that early on when he was known candidate, but since then nothing has been mentioned so i assume not.

AVB was sacked for a reason at Chelsea, and proved afterwards he was struggling to manage at this level. I feel it would be a very big gamble to take him as manger.

avb was very successful at porto, but maybe people fail to realise he was only there as manager for 1 year...
his man management at the chavs was ****, as the old dead wood that he wanted out have proved they are the backbone of the team. maybe they resented him as he wasnt maureen, but the manager should do whats best for the team, not his own ego.

i dont think i would want him at Anfield.
