2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

I hope that he makes a full recovery. Some things are more important than football.

So do I however I think it’s best that he takes an extended break say till the end of the season, for the benefit of his own well being you understand

 

[Kev The Rat]

You will never hear anyone say anything bad about Rafael, a true football man and a gent of the field too

Give digne a shout mate I'm sure he'll have plenty to say

What's all this about him being hospitalized?
Even went on RAWK to find some confirmation of this, but weirdly, they're now photoshopping adolf hitler on Evertonplayers these days...

That's scandalous and underlines what a pile of divvies the desperados are who are trying to make waves for the Everton manager.

That's coz they get sacked when they do! Even Carragher said 'he thrives on confrontation'...Gerrard said he's cold and stand offish as a man manager. Not exactly good reviews imo especially given the fact the fanbase needs uniting and the club needs everyone rowing in the same direction. Wrong appointment and it all goes back to Moshiri freaking out at Carlo upping and leaving so 'lives in the area' got him the job

Since when have the words from bitter Kopites been relivant?

since you said 'never hear anyone....' and last I checked, kopites or not, they still qualify under 'anyone'. Also they played for him at his peak and still say negative things about him. In other words what you said isn't true

That’s funny, as my immediate neighbour who’s a sports journalist for a broadsheet, despises him and has got a good word to say about him ?

links blocked here for some reason but:

Steven Gerrards autobiography has gone into incredible detail about Rafael Benitez’s time at Liverpool and how he treated his players, saying that on one occasion the Spaniard "made it personal."

The former Inter boss moved to Merseyside after winning two La Ligas with Valencia- 2001/2 and 2003/4 - and soon became a fan favourite, guiding the Reds to FA Cup and Champions League victories.

However, Benitez’s relationship with the players and, with the club's hierarchy itself at times, appeared highly strung and this has been revealed furthermore in Gerrard’s book.

Steven Gerrard: My Story, which was published in 2015, spoke about an incident between the Spaniard and Robbie Keane.
