No agreement following Benitez and Anzhi talks

Rafa Benitez had a meeting in London with representatives of FC Anzhi Makhachkala, but an agreement was not reached over the managerial position at the Russian club where Samuel Eto`o and Roberto Carlos currently play. It was, in fact, the former Barcelona striker, Eto`o who initiated contact with Benitez on the club`s behalf, but FC Anzhi, still lacking in infrastructure, were unable to to satisfy the former Liverpool manager`s aspirations at this time.

Blimey. Really don't want him to end up in a Russian backwater like that.

Nice recommendation from Eto'o though.

[Suarez]

I'd have him back here today, not even a seconds thought.

Bloody hell he's worth better than that.

I wouldn't wish banishment to an insignificant Russky outpost on anyone.

Except Princess Evra.

Looks like he's going to get a record following - 8,000 in 30 minutes already. My timeline is full of Rafa Twitters at the moment.

So if Mancini doesn't deliver and gets the boot, can you see him at City, and would you be OK with that?

He's got no chance of getting that job and I wouldnt like it as he's an excellent manager. But it'd be great for him.

[Shaggy]

Yeah he won't get that job, no way. He won't get any decent job over here, it's incredible. He would walk the league with City.

And yeah I'd be okay with it, if only for him. Be delighted for him. Not for us though, cos they'd be a lot harder to conquer under him than Mancini.

I think you need to be in work to find work might be true in this case, hes being to picky about what he takes he needs to just keep his eye in the game and do alright somewhere
