Sky Sources: Rafael Benitez will not become the new Aston Villa manager. More details on SSN Channel 405

yep seem he listed that he needed a shot load of money to spend on players and asked for control of the youth set up so he could build a ream from the roots up.

looks like they said no or he said no when they said they did not have the funds for that and all talks called off.

:laugh:
(Don't know whether I'm laughing at Lakes' info OR Rafa's demands)

lol
In truth i think Rafa has taken a look at that theam there and knows what players are going to leave and for how much and think "sh1t i need a lot of funds to build something here"
most manafers now wish to have a lot to do with the youth set up anyway so i dont think that would be the problem, i think what is clear that money from players sales at that club dont look like being put back into the team.

Fair play to Rafa, it looks like he's not prepared to just take any job going.

To those who moaned about the kids we were 'not producing', stick this up yer :censored:.


Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola praises Liverpool’s Academy / Rafa Benitez’s kid collection

Liverpool fans might have got frustrated at the time by Rafa Benitez’s love of signing 16 and 17-year-old kids, but his policy will pay dividends in the long-term. That’s according to Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola.

The Champions League-winning coach reckons the Reds’ Academy could soon rival Barca’s own production line.

Guardiola is quoted as telling Catalan radio: “If they can manage those lads, then maybe 20 star players can arrive from that academy.”

So someone pays you a compliment and you just brush it off? Come on mate.

Maybe when some of them start breaking through to the 1st team then you will change your tune. Wait, haven't some already?  :D
