I actually really liked Houillier - knew his stuff, did well. Rafael hung on his coattails when he arrived and as soon as he started to build his own squad they fell apart.
Rodgers is an absolute horror, but I actually just find him comical more than anything. A man so hopelessly out of his depth who hasn't been found out yet thanks to Suarez. There's a reason he bent over and took one up the poop pipe to keep him at the club so long.
benitez was clueless in the english league - they never did anything of note as far as i remember in the league. the true definition of a cup manager.
the thing is, anyone can win a cup without actually winning a game, you can draw your way through it going through on away goals, shutting up shop for 1 whole tie and get given a controversial goal, with things on penalties etc. he achieved zilch in the actual premier league when you have to win a large majority of games.
rodgers will be gone within 2 seasons you would image, swansea were always going to go up that season, they were constantly getting closer and closer to promotion and even though nowhere near as a one man team as RS last season, sinclair's goals aided rodgers drstically, in his defence he was the one to bring him in, as well as borini who made a difference near the end of the season.
but yeah, he got sacked by reading and watford, and was lingering 7th and 8th with them until last season's freak season from suarez and sturridge and mr. penalty. they'll win with ease today, soton's weakest team all season with their only good player not wanting to be there.
