Completely different dynamic with Ronaldo. He grew up under Fergie. If Utd had bought Ronaldo when he was already an egotistical superstar with no shared history with the manager, I could well imagine Fergie would have binned him off if he challenged his authority.Originally posted by G View PostFergie picked his battles though, for example as soon as Roy Keane out lived his usefulness he was out the door, Ince similar.

Rafa Benitez wife Montse to sell £17,000 of designer dresses to raise money for children's charity
Items will be auctioned for OLLY which is linked to Families Fighting for Justice
Former Liverpool FC manager Rafa Benitez’s wife is selling a £17,000 haul of her own designer clothes to help children whose relatives have been killed.
Montse Benitez has donated top-of-the-range dresses and other evening wear to raise funds for Merseyside charity Our Lost Love Years (OLLY).
Montse, who still lives in Wirral even though her husband Rafa lives abroad managing Real Madrid is donating glittering cocktail dresses from major fashion designers including Dolce Gabbana, Alexandra McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
Montse is a keen supporter of OLLY, connected to Liverpool pressure group Families Fighting For Justice.
The charity says all dresses are a petite size 8, for anyone keen to buy one for a special occasion.
Also to go under the hammer is a football shirt, signed by Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafa.
Montse’s gesture comes after she paid for 33 disadvantaged children to go to Disneyland in Paris, travelling to the French capital on executive coaches.
She was nicknamed the ‘Angel of Kindness’ after that £11,500 donation.
Now, Montse’s latest generosity is expected to raise between £10,000-£15,000 and will be sold at auction between November 27-29 in the charity’s Anson Street office in the city centre.
Jean Taylor, whose daughter Chantel was killed by Stephen Wynne, 28, who refused to reveal where he’d hidden her remains, said: “Montse has gone above and beyond.
“This should raise tens of thousands of pounds for disadvantaged kids.
“Her love for the people of Liverpool is clear.
“She’s been so generous and we’ll always hold her dear to our hearts.”
Along with helping youngsters whose family members have been killed, OLLY also lends a hand to children from underprivileged areas of the city.
Have a huge amount of respect of what he and Montse try to do for the local community. I am stunned, absolutely stunned, as to why a man who does so much charity is the subject of so much derision from the news media.

I think he does need an assistant with him who balances his personality. All of the managers mentioned as examples of managers who upset people also seemed to be great judges of those they needed around them as a buffer. Rafa seems to have been less successful at that since his mid-period with us.
I hope he gets a chance to turn it around at Real. The line up against Barca was very un-Rafa. Something odd going on there IMO."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

totally agree - he was brilliant with Pako as there was a good foil there. Like Brian Kidd at UTDOriginally posted by dww View PostI think he does need an assistant with him who balances his personality.

Dunno where to start with the amount of wrongness here
Mediawatch understands that not everyone rates Rafa Benitez quite as highly as Liverpool supporters, but we still took a sharp intake of breath when we read the headline on Kevin Palmer’s article on the Irish Independent website: ‘Rafa Benitez is the king of modern-day spoofers’.
Don’t think that Palmer has been stitched up by the headline writers either. If anything they undersold it.
‘This arrogant and self-absorbed tactician who has just been given a lukewarm vote of confidence…’ the piece begins. Sheesh.
‘Not for the first time in his career, this portly emperor has been disrobed in front of the watching world and as has been in case in previous years, we don’t like what we see underneath,’ Palmer continues. ‘Aside from his union with wife Maria, every Benitez marriage has been doomed to end in failure.’
Palmer goes on to explain how Liverpool won the Champions League final in spite of Benitez. He doesn’t choose to cover how he got them to the final in the first place. Twice.
Mediawatch enjoyed the following conversation Palmer subsequently had on Twitter with one user:
– Palmer: ‘So this article has caused a bit of a stir then. A view on Rafael Benitez that his supporters will not agree with’
– User: Has anybody agreed with it, Kevin?
– Palmer: ‘Liverpool fans love him in general, I appreciate that. No problem with an alternative view I don’t think’
– User: ‘Those pesky Liverpool fans and their intolerance for bull**** eh?’
– Palmer: ‘Not at all. Liverpool fans are entitled to like Benitez. I just don’t think he’s done a whole lot since 2005. Do you?’
– User: ‘Other than winning the FA Cup, winning the Europa League, taking Liverpool to the Champions League final again, Finishing runner-up in the Premier League, winning the Club World Cup, winning the Italian cup, plus winning away in the San Siro (three times), Nou camp, Bernabeu (Ed: Plus Old Trafford (twice) and Stamford Bridge (three times))? you’re right. Not a lot.’
Well, quite. The conversation did at least end amicably. Nice to see the hatchet (job) being buried"I will make the boys feel your support"

There is someone meddling with the selection, like you say, I found that line up very odd for Rafa, rather unbalanced. I read somewhere the supporters were also angry at Perez, among other things for meddling with the team.Originally posted by dww View PostI think he does need an assistant with him who balances his personality.

Rafa Benitez called a meeting of senior players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, on Tuesday night for talks to clear the air and lay down the targets for the rest of the season at Real Madrid after Saturday’s 4-0 defeat by Barcelona.
Benitez, who was backed by club president Florentino Perez on Monday, spoke to a group of those key players who have made the journey to the Ukraine, where Real Madrid take on Shakhtar Donestk, with Ronaldo, Bale, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema all present at the meeting.
It is understood the manager explained the tactical needs of the team going forward and encouraged the players to speak their mind and contribute.
It is said that meeting went well, with players expressing their own views with Ronaldo in particular professional and helpful in his contributions, saying that he was aiming to run more for the team but also urging his team-mates to do so as well.
