Yet again, another debate that's gone off topic and diverted into petty little arguements.
Looks ladies and gents, whether we like Benitez or not, he's the manager of OUR club, yes OUR club (that includes those who want him as manager and those who don't) so lets these silly name calling and sarcastic responses, let's simplely discuss where we differ. Liverpool is not a club that responds to those levels, we don't turn on each other for the sake of it.
So lets try and get this back onto Mick's point at the start of the topic. I think his point was "where will we be when Rafa has finished what he's started." Well Mick nobody can answer that, because nobody knows when he'll be finished. Also nobody will know until about 10 o'clock in the evening of the 11th of March 2008 whether the fans of Benitez will have decided that his ways aren't working. Maybe it will take a season of complete failure and disaster to open a few eyes, it's certainly opened the eyes of some people. I think some of those who've really been hurtful towards Benitez are the ones who last year were saying "give him one more year" Their eyes are open to what some of us have been noticing for the last four years. Now I never wanted a spaniard in charge of this club, just like I never wanted a frenchman managing us. I don't want yanks in charge and I don't want Arabs running the club either, you can call me nationalistic or whatever, I just want Liverpool run by British people, like we were when we were successful. So I was never a huge fan of Benitez but I've still backed him all the way as he's our manager.
But back to the point again, where will be when Benitez has finished what he's started. Well given the time he may have us as the greatest football side in the world, on the other hand given the time he could have us a mickey mouse mid table side at best. I think the risk is to big to give him any longer than the end of this season, but if he's here next year and for another 50 years after that, he'll get my support to bring success to the club that we ALL love.
1) You'll Never Walk Alone
2) pass and move is the Liverpool groove
3) FIRST WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST AND SECOND WILL ALWAYS BE NOTHING.
4) If Torres has scored 60 league goals for Liverpool by the start of the 2011/12 season, I'll say he's better than Owen.
