I have no problem with people not wanting Benitez because of his connection with our neighbours but for goodness sake don't try to make it on the grounds of him not being good enough or successful enough.

A manager that has won trophies at Valencia, Liverpool, Napoli, Inter and Chelsea, was good enough to manage Real but not Everton!!!
No Rafael is not a great manager now ... if he was he would not have left Newcastle to go china .
His best spell in management was over 10 years ago. I do not think he is anywhere near that level now . Time moves on.
So I would rather try get some one who maybe a great manager now and in the future.

I agree mate
Hes not.
He might have been a good manager, but his tactics are stale and hes shown he cant do nothing unless hes throwing money at teams.
His 3 years at Newcastle highlight all of this.

Loads, Benitez hasn't been a top manager for years now. Does he even work with a DOF?
He wasn’t good enough to manage Real.
10 years ago he was . Not recently. Since 2010 he won an italian cup and the europa league with a side that won the previous years champions league

He was very popular with Newcastle fans though...
So was Alan Shearer.

For me his time at Newcastle was always distracted by the whole Mike Ashley thing (wouldn't back him & their relationship deteriorated) and I know a lot of Newcastle fans were extremely pissed off when he was sacked - saw it as potentially a big opportunity gone to waste.
Spot on. 6 months shows that .
They’re weird kopite lovers though.
In what way are we a small club?
But he did nothing there, if hes such a good manager he should surely be getting them higher than 13th?
