2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[mikel_88]

Will be good to see what players we can bring in jan for him and at the end of the season to see how he wants to set the team up

Question 1) did he spend £250m
Question 2) did he get sacked because they were in decline?

He didn't. Net spend is what counts. Net spend.

I can tell you what you'll get in reply mate "Yeah but, no but, yeah but, no...."

A lot of those signings were younger players.

Twas only my feeling at the time. Don't want to go and sort through 61 players so will bow to people with greater knowledge of RS players and more time on their hands.

Mad the assumptions are normally wrong

I had assumed you care because you are on this thread 24/7. Maybe give it a rest.

Hi mate, the owners signed cheques totalling £250m on new players.

Yes.
They also received 50 million more than he spent (past tense, with a 't')
It's called nuance. You should try it.

That summary is absolutely ridiculous.

He got sacked after 6 years after outing the owners for the cowboys they were. Didn't get the players he wanted. Carragher and Gerrard have also admitted that they wrongly lobbied for Rafas removal and pushed for Hodgson to take over (arguably the worst Liverpool manager of all time).

Rafael had a net spend of just over 60 million in 6 years. He spent 230 mil on 61 players, which makes an average of just over 3 mil per player.

The only thing I could tell you that Gerrard and Carragher said is, "Hey, Mark lad, you should send dat dere Hibbert off for dat" and "I dragged Lescott down cos you can't give penalties against Liberpewl in front of the kop in the last minute. Also, I would describe Hodgson as the BEST RS manager. But then, I don't keep tabs on other teams that much.

Don't forget he also spent 500k on Sterling who was sold for 50 mil. Torres and Mascherano also brought in big money after he left. I think the net spend would be a hell of a lot less.

Rafael leaving Liverpool is interesting as nobody knows if he was sacked or he left on his own accord. The official line was mutual consent.

Martin Broughton said that when he arrived at Liverpool, Rafael had enough and wanted out, but it was never their intention to sack him. Apparently Rafael refused to deal with them in the end and had all negotiations made via his lawyer.

Fair enough. Not something I took any notice of, if I'm honest.
