Very disrespectful IMO. You are talking about a manager that has won the European Cup with us mate, for keeps.

Everyone knows that to keep a title winning side winning you need to keep investing in talent. The fact that they have such an old squad with injury problems only further points to having to add to the squad. Just to further illustrate how moot your point is you and many others were previously banging on about how we had a top 4/title pushing side and all we needed was someone to 'steer the ship'. Now you all talk about how he needs to be given time to rebuild. He isn't rebuilding the club mate, he is tearing it down.

The time to get Roy out and Rafa back in is now.

Sorry but has Fergie invested every single year, has he b0llocks, in any case Inter did buy some players and certainly didn't sell any, but he wanted to overhaul the entire treble winning side becuase apparently they weren't his kind of players, not enough Kuyt's and Lucas's I imagine. :no
When will people realise that he just isn't that good a manager, he is a fine coach but he simply has no idea how to deal with people. He must have got the shock of his life when he got fired, that is the funny bit when someone so deluded and arrogant gets egg on their face.

He has a grandfather of a squad and an injury crisis. He's already won 2 trophies for them...

13 points from the top but 2 games in hand...

Sorry Bav.  Without disrespecting our former manager--who accomplished some wonderful things at Liverpool Football Club--he should have done much better at Inter given the talent at his disposal.  All of this stuff about Juve and Milan strengthening and Inter aging poorly sounds like rather meagre excuses for a poor half season in charge.  Deep down everyone knows he simply didn't do the business (just as Roy hasn't with us).

rafa only ever had 'plan A', once other mangers saw how to combat his set up he was doomed, thats is what has happened to him over the last 18 months. He needs to come up with something different. Fergy puts the fear of god in superstar price players whilst arsene wenger constantly evolves his football, Rafa should take note imho.

Do you know what's the  best thing... and at the same time the saddest about his sacking ... is those saying he wasn't a good enough manager will now never know  :D they can only speculate ,precisely the same posters who crank up give" Roy till the end of the season  ,its only half way yet " give him money for his own players..... can now only make presumptions about Benitez's time in Italy based on what they think would have happened ,and that must be considerably galling for the "I TOLD YOU SO " crowd .... and now the man is back in his home
right on our doorstep ..... careful what you wish for people ....

RBG I think its only fair to offer the same courtesy to the both of them, neither should realistically be judged until they are able to mould their squads to fit their own styles but the truth is neither are going to be given that priviledge, Roy will be in the same position in 6 months time where Rafa is now and we all know it
