It's utter Bitterness we could do alot worse than Benitez and whilst I don't like him as a personality he's a good manager.
I doubt he would come for a multitude of reasons which I will not go into, but I agree about Benitez. He'd be a very good choice.
Taking away the blue tinted glasses and all the rhetoric he spouted in the past, he has been successful where ever he's been. He would do the job!
Always knew how to get a team to defend (key to most success) and charismatic enough to get his team to score goals.
Yes he spouted loads of stuff in the past, but did he really mean it? Was it just part of the media game? Even if no, he'd still do the job.
Sometimes emotion gets the better of people: I much prefer to see us doing well rather than worry about stuff said in the past.
