Really good response from a Bolton fan via Newsnow
Bolton Wanderers - Please Mr Benitez…
In times of crisis, it`s good to have a leader who inspires belief. Some football managers can motivate the players and reassure the fans with a few well chosen words. Gary Megson isn`t one of them. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is the latest recipient of the ginger one`s wisdom.
'Liverpool will have a massive say in which teams go down with their next two league games,' Megson told The Sun. 'We hope Rafa Benitez will retain the integrity of the Premier League with his squad selection.
'You would imagine Liverpool's Premier League campaign is still as important as the Champions League. They are battling with Everton for fourth so there is local pride to play for.
'It is nobody else's business but I'm sure Rafa realises the importance of being seen to do the right thing.'
Megson is right on the last count. It`s nobody`s business. Certainly not his, and speaking in The Sun on a Liverpool related matter, the day after the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster shows a stunning lack of tact. He`s also open to a charge of hypocrisy, after playing a team in Lisbon, that included a couple of ball boys, an act which has alienated most Wanderers fans.
What difference will it make? Absolutely none. Benitez will snigger (think of Muttley in Wacky Races, and you`ll get the picture) and then pick whatever side he chooses. As he`s perfectly entitled to.
