2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[AndyC]

Hes not flavour of the month. His coaching is anything but flavour of the month.
You really need to take benitez knob out your mouth for a bit and look around.

A bit too graphic that second line mate, I'm sure you can make your point a bit more elegantly in future.

Returning to a country and City you grew up in is different to going to a different country.

I don't think China really needs explaining, he went for the money and the fact that no top jobs were going.

ah see

returning to childhood home conquer homesickness, I can follow that logic .

money causing homesickness to disappear despite moving to different continent , I’m afraid I’d need a little more .

that said I’d prefer you not to reply as I don’t like engaging with you I just thought your initial post deserved a reply .

thanks .

And, this is not a trick question btw as my dad was chatting to them a few weeks ago.

Thanks for clearing that up.
At least we all now know that you don’t actually know Benitez.

I'd be worried if i was Benitez then as he posts as if he's either

A) Best mates with him
B) His mum
C) Has kidnapped him and has him locked in a basement 6 days a week, but let's him out to manage Everton 1 day a week.

Really mate. I think you should read up in what went down. As I've said numerous times. He was offered a 2 year contract. If he was so bad, he wouldn't have been offered one. He was already lining players up for the summer.

He was homesick. De Laurentis even offered to buy Rafas family a home in the heart of Rome and find a top English speaking school for his kids and a promise of a big spend that summer. Rafael turned it down. He was then offered a rolling 1 year deal, in which he could leave at any point at the end of a season, he was adamant he wanted to return to England. In which he did.

De Laurentis and Rafael are on very very good terms to this day, so much so that he has approached Rafael on 3 seperate occasions to come back, twice in the last year.

No idea if true or not, but happy to take you at your word. However does that not seem rather odd decision making? Like Napoli are in a lot better shape than we are. Why turn down such a good offer to come here?

That pesky Intermittent homesickness apparently, cured only by childhood memories or wheelbarrow loads of cash .
