NowDoINotLikeThat Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Glad people are coming around to Rafa. Definitely the outstanding candidate on the list. only because the list Kendrick mentions is so shit. Benitez will be another bad fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercs23 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 obviously if we went for rafa then it just seems like were going for former liverpool managers all the time. obviously big thing for rafa is he has the pull of international players but his still not my first choice. moyes, jol, then any of the others really just not mclaren.

VillaAlex Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If Moyes doesn't want to come, Hughes is ruled out and Jol is off to Fulham who would people want? That's only an if but there isn't much choice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisNichollsToe Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wally...... Middlesbrough 38.80% England 50.00% FC Twente 63.37% VfL Wolfsburg 23.81% I have a feeling other factors other than win ratios, will be paramount in the boards mind :winkold: One thing is for sure. No manager will be given the freedom which MoN had, and there lies the problem. Its already stated that Benny will only take the job if he has the same freedom, and i guess that will be the same with 99% of any top manager.

hants-villa Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Rafa seems to be the only one out of them all who can attract top players from around the world and maybe keep some of our top players. The only bad thing is some of the shite he has bought. Please Randy NO Mclaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Anybody who puts the likes of Jol and Hughes above Benitez need to educate themselves. Here, let me assist: Spain U-19 League (1): 1993 Spain U-19 Cup (2): 1991, 1993 Extremadura Segunda División Promotion (1): 1997–98 Tenerife Segunda División (1): 2000–01 Valencia La Liga (2): 2001–02, 2003–04 UEFA Cup (1): 2003–04 Liverpool UEFA Champions League (1): 2004–05 FA Cup (1): 2005–06 FA Community Shield (1): 2006 UEFA Super Cup (1): 2005 --------------------------------------------------------- A winner if ever there was one.

Brumerican Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Until Moyes comes out and flat out out refuses us, then I think he's still a target . It could be another lean summer at Goodison and maybe he realises he can't take them any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 David Moyes would be the ideal fit for Villa,c'mon our Board go out and get him this time. No gambling on unproven PL Managers or unpopular ones please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelGabriel Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Indeed, Rafa is a top manager, love him or hate him and anyone that breaks the cycle of Real Madrid or Barcelona La Liga wins deserves credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Benitez is a spent force imo. Takes some doing having Liverpool finish outside the top 4 but he pulled it off , Left worse squad than he inherited at Liverpool and absolutely awful football to watch, made right mess at Inter Milan. However he doesn't seem that bad when you look at Kendricks list. If the Rafa from 2005 and before would turn up gthat would be good ..but he seems to have lost the plot last few years. Transfer record at Pool was pretty embarrasing but again when you see the names mentioned by Kendrick he suddenly doesnt seem that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOne Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Anyone else rather concerned by Rafa's transfers though? I mean why did he buy Keane and try to get Barry? Where was the logic in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Personally I think Rafa is an absolute word removed but I can understand why he might be appointed, even if I think he now somewhat of a busted flush. McClaren on the otherhand I can just see no reason why he would be a choice. He spent alot of money at Boro to achieve 14th, 12th, 7th, 14th place finishes, which is frankly just rubbish. He has no team building credentials, no charisma, no great record in the transfer market, no nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i would still take Rafa over Jol , **** Martinez or bloody McClaren Takes some doing to win the CL with the players he had at Liverpool, also takes some doing to win La Liga with a team other than Barcelona or Real Madrid.
