Rafael Benitez

Good Sunday.

I wrote this article a while ago about Rafa Benitez and I think it's time to repost this as many have questioned my wanting to bring Rafa back to the helm.
____________________________

Rafa Benitez was, in my opinion the best manager we had in my lifetime (born in May 1991). He gave us so many special times, not least the incredible FA Cup final in 2006, ironically the last time we won a trophy.

However, May 25th 2005 was probably the best night of my life as a football fan, the sheer euphoria when we won that penalty shoot out is something I've not experienced since as a football fan.

Also let us not forget the 08/09 season, where we played the best attacking football in Europe with incredible results such as beating Real Madrid 4-0, and of course the demolition of the Mancs in their backyard 4-1.

As far as I'm concerned, I would be more than happy to see Rafa take over from Kenny when the King decides to hang up his managerial boots (doesn't really work that phrase).

Rafa, if for some reason you read this, you are a legend and will never be forgotten, I supported you right up until the end.

Do LFC fans feel the same as me?

YNWA.

no brittish static players with no flair please.

we need quality overseas players like aguero silva mata.

if we win a cup this year and finish 5th, I will count it as succesfull.

No. Rafa had his chance. Stop romanticising, it's like when you spilt up with you're bird (or fella), no matter if you fought like cat and dog, you only remember the good times. We have moved on.

if we get rid of kd (which looks more and more likely with every game )the only person i would want incharge is rafa,with these owners backing him and not backstabbing him like the cowboys i think he will bring us the title.

Rafa is the best manager we've had since the younger Kenny.

He's brilliant.

But he doesn't manager us and we need to support Kenny now.

Ex's are ex's for a reason! Rafa had his time

Lets stop looking at the past and start looking for the future!

I leave 606 for 6 months and people are still going on about Rafa

Not in my eyes.

His signings have been abysmal and we keep playing this 442 that doesn't work!

We're not signing anybody to rectify any of the problems we have. This weekend we could have been 3 points from 4th. Now we're 6!

Arsenal or Liverpool should be going after Benitez.. the guy is top quality - he reigned dominant over england and terrorized europe for 4 or 5 straight years
