sounds like they are being very professional about it, rafa hasnt really gone about it in the best possible way really has he, though he is frustrated and its good to see that he is passionate.
 
dont know what going to happen with rafa if he leaves who going to replace him or who could replace him i will never have jose and who is better then him in the Champion league but he needs to deliver the PL pretty soon

Don't think much of that statement. They've offered no support for Benitez despite the rumours of him leaving. It's basically saying we'll decide his future when we come over which will probably be based on whether we progress in the Champions League or not. If that is the case and we don't qualify they'll have to look for someone who's more successful in Europe over the past few years than him. Not going to happen.

At least means he'll be here until Christmas, which puts paid to all these rumours.

Would not have jose or capello over rafa so we should stick with him

Like Burned Alive says it puts to bed the stuff about him already leaving. Also at no point have they ever questioned his position and they say in the statement they're coming over to talk about transfers not about any problems with Rafa.

and we all know how that one ended up.

I was reffering to the rumours that he was joining Liverpool which started from a stupid joke and escalated to a point where so much money was being bet on hims joining us that several bookies started cutting the odds on it happening.

well, without really going into it, there a quite a lot of managers i'd see in the job before benitez. i don't think he's cut out for national management at the moment (not necessarily a bad reflection on him). Also on peoples motivation, it's not like they don't keep putting fuel on the fire! G&H and Benitez are both using the media to put their point of view across instead of keeping it in house. it's not like anyone has needed to do any digging, they're being handed it in official releases!
 
the problem is actually between G & H , but don't let that get in the way of the media speculation after all i don't want to spoil your fun
 
I wouldnt be happy with JM or FC tbh, id like to see some flair football from the next manager.

That said, im struggling who could come in and do any better, we havent got masses of cash due to the ground, and despite all the doomsayers, were in not too bad a position in the league all things considering, by now were normally well out of it.
 
Im happy with rafa, i like him, i really enjoy the europe games and thats his speciality. Hopefully we will go through.
He gets to be different with the tactics in europe..
I love watching our games anyway really.
Yea, we're by no means out of the title race, which is the first time in how long?
Not forgetting a massive amount of the cash rafa has spent is for the future, meaning this should be by no means our strongest season under him, it should only get better.
Iv watched a few reserve games on setanta and a few of the lads look canny, the games with Lucas in are obviously a lot more entertaining though =D
 
I dont care about Europe now, ive seen us win the cup in the best game ever.I need the league, the club needs the league, the city needs the league.
 
Well with important players on the road to mend just coming back, im not really happy about this **** stiring going on by the media tbh, dont need anything rocking the boat and the two yanks should just nail it now by openly backing Rafa. Decent enough league position considering no Aggar or Alonso for ages...
 
Just read my post back and I quote, "two yanks should just nail it now by openly backing Rafa" ....that just reads so wrong! :eek::o:)

ok, i don't get where you are coming from at all. the media might be expanding on it but clear quotes show benitez has an issue with the supp in purchasing players he is receiving from the owners. whichever owner it is that might be withholding funding (which i have heard mentioned is not the case in this thread) then it still puts benitez at odds with both owners as quite simply i doubt either can afford to operate without the other.
 
exactly, Rafa has every reason to show discontent and frustration over opportunities that he will miss out on.

small quote from Paul Tomkins column ;-

So far it's Eight Torres beauties, Seven Stevie stunners, Six Kuyt finishes –– Five for Benayoun –– Four from Ryan and Andriy, Three Crouch strikes, two Alonso goals and a belter from Mo Sissoko ... and, er, one each from Sami Hyypia and Nabil El Zhar.

(For the final line, it's a shame Richie Partridge is no longer on the books, or indeed, in a pear tree.)

Twenty-one of those goals are from four of the new players. It's precisely what Benítez wanted with regard to the team sharing the goals around, and even players who are in and out of the side are racking up some good figures. Meanwhile, Steven Gerrard, harangued by the home fans at St James' Park, has rediscovered the goalscoring touch that is so important to the Reds.

its very encouraging to have our new players contributing soo many goals and it just goes to show how they have benefited from being rested for some games. If Rafa has targets he wants to sign that are all on a free he needs the freedom to act now, not in the 'draft season'
