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 ....
Sorry but
the fact that he was sacked from a team which had just won the treble, i.e a bloody good team and squad, after just 6 months is all the proof I, and most sane people, will ever need to proove that he failed in SerieA and is not a patch on Maureen and most other top managers.
Sane people Haaaa!! You mean them who walk round with heads stuck up their
.
From Rory Smith in an article about how Rafa divides opinion. It is actually a balanced piece talking about how the different fractions view Rafa.
"There is one point that all should be able to agree on, though, including Benitez himself. The biggest mistake he made this year, these 12 months he will long to forget, was agreeing to succeed Jose Mourinho in June. As one of his staff at San Siro remarked, the Inter job was “un caramello avellenato.” A poisoned sweet. Tasty from the outside, rotten at the core.
Being appointed manager of the most successful club side in the world may appear a sinecure, a matter simply of keeping things ticking over, but Inter, as of the end of the Champions League final seven months ago, were a side built for the past. Most of their first XI, the Mourinho stalwarts, were past their prime, exhausted from producing one final push to further the mystique surrounding the Portuguese. Massimo Moratti, Inter’s owner, was tired of spending money after 15 years of profligate dreaming. The club was sated. There was no hunger left. Into the end of the banquet walked Benitez, entirely famished. It was never likely to work."

The level of ignorance in this place is astounding sometimes.
