Made up. 12 month rolling contract though so clearly keeping hIs options open. Can see it being a tough battle with the other lot next year.

I fucking love this man. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6609019.stm Apologies if it has been posted on another thread. Actually, no, I'm not sorry. Is this a little dig about Garcia's goal? "Our fans cannot give red cards or award penalties but they can score goals'"

I've always been a fan, I had Napoli posters on my wall when I was a youngster. Now they're managed by the greatest manager in world football at the moment, it's about time they were given a thread of their own. Their old manager, whose name escapes me, put together a team that finished second last year. I'm rubbing my hands together at the prospect of them winning the Champions League this year. I see them lining up a bit like this. GK. Reina (washed up Spaniard) LB. Some Italian bloke RB. Some Italian bloke CB. Albiol (washed up Spaniard) CB. Skrtel (shit against Oldham) RM. Some Italian bloke LM. Some Italian bloke CM. Hamsik (shit haircut) CM. Some I…

The more i think about it getting rid of roy evans was a mistake.By the time houllier was done we were even further away from winning the premiership and he did have a vindictive agenda against robbie fowler.Surely im not the only one who feels this way.

Yesterday something very strange happened to our club, for the first time in our history I think I witnessed one of our managers give up on a game by taking off his best players with 20 minutes to go and accepting a 3-1 defeat to another team. He took off players hoping to keep them "fresh" for a CL game and to me he said right there which is more important - the league or the CL. I am absolutely disgusted by what he did, he thew in the towel, he gave up on 3 points even though Reading have conceded hatfuls at home and all may well not have been lost. He surrendered, some would argue that he surrendered even before the game started with his tactics and team s…

With the release of the fixture list two weeks ago, I think it's plausible that you can confidently predict when the current occupant will be discarded and the move to bring Rafael Benitez home will be made. AUGUST 17 Stoke City (H) 24 Aston Villa (A) 28 Capital One Cup second round 31 Manchester United (H) SEPTEMBER 14 Swansea City (A) 21 Southampton (H) 25 Capital One Cup third round 28 Sunderland (A) OCTOBER 5 Crystal Palace (H) 19 Newcastle United (A) 26 West Bromwich Albion (H) NOVEMBER 2 Arsenal (A) 9 Fulham (H) 23 Everton (A) 30 Hull City (A) DECEMBER 3 Norwich City 7 West Ham (H) 14 Tottenham Hotspur (A) 21 Ca…

So how great a manager was he? I am fortunate to have seen most of the games he played for us as a player, and many of the games he managed. His status as an LFC icon for everything he has contributed to the club is indisputable, but as a manager, where does he fit in? His roll call of honours won is staggering: Football League First Division (3): 1985–86, 1987–88, 1989–90 FA Cup (2): 1985–86, 1988–89 League Cup (1): 2011–12 Super Cup (1): 1985–86 FA Charity Shield (4): 1986,[87] 1988,[88] 1989,[89] 1990[90] Yet through no fault of his own, he was never able to test himself against the best of Europe, nor did he have the distraction of European fo…

A very contraversial thread this given the opinions on here but if there was something you could change about Rafa what would it be? I'd change his caution first footballing mentality, his obsession with "squad players" which leads me to his other obsession of rotation rotation rotation. Otherwise he is a great coach, great manager, and someone whom I wouldn't change for anyone given his plus points far outweigh the rest. So who is going to brave?

Just aswell have a look at the numbers. As the title says would you like to see him have a second stint as Liverpool manager? It doesn't matter when, whenever the job becomes available again whether it be 1 year or 12 years, would you like to see him back?

We've all heard the whispers that this is why Souness, but to those who haven't, it is alleged that Joe Fagan told Graeme Souness that "they(the club's hierarchy) can't afford to sack me" at which point he began rubbing his hands vigorously. I just wanted to know if anybody had heard any corroborating evidence, or anything to dispute this claim? Also, I would ask that we not get bogged down in semantics as to what constitutes "rubbing".

Will any Liverpool manager ever break Rafa's Premier League points record of 86? Is there anyone out there who can replace him as this club's greatest manager of the modern era?

He Da Man Liverpool defeat dismays Benitez BBC Sport Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez did not hide his dismay after his side's sorry 2-0 defeat at Manchester United. "It is clearly one of my most disappointing days as manager of the club," said the Spaniard. "It is a game I know everybody at the club and the supporters want us to win, particularly at Old Trafford." The Reds have scored only one away goal - a penalty - in the Premiership this season and rarely looked like finding the net as they slumped to defeat. "Away from home we need to win to improve confidence," said Benitez. "We are controlling long spells of games, getting the ball in…
