I'm curious to see all these votes for Rafa and how he's ahead of various other manager partly because there's so much choice. Therefore i ask if it was a case of Benitez, or not Benitez as a manager, which one you would go for.
Poll Another fucking poll

Can't vote. If the options were "Rafa" and "Not Rafa" fair enough (I'd vote "Not" BTW), but "anyone but Rafa" goes too far for me. I'd sooner appoint him than some of the names being bandied about, notably Villas Boas.
I kind of agree. I don't want Benitez but if the other options were David Pleat and Lawrie Sanchez then yes I probably would consider Benitez
I still voted though. Fuck it.
Rafa Benitez the clear fans’ choice for LFC
Results were recorded from This Is Anfield, Red and White Kop, LFC.tv, YNWA, Est1892, Scouse Not English, RAOTL and LFC Reds/Anfield Online, and found Benitez was the clear favourite on every single forum.
From a total of almost 4,000 votes across the websites, Benitez polled an average of 59% – a clear majority.
The second favourite was former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas, with Borussia Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp in third.
In some instances, Benitez polled over 70%, even when listed alongside several other candidates.
The Spaniard, who has openly admitted his desire to return to Liverpool, is seen as having ‘unfinished business’ by many supporters who feel that the ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett halted the development of Liverpool under his reign.
Benitez, who still resides on Merseyside, is reportedly not being interviewed for the vacancy by owners FSG, leaving Villas-Boas and Wigan boss Roberto Martinez as the current favourites. A separate poll on This Is Anfield asking fans to choose between Martinez or Villas-Boas returned a huge 85% majority for Villas-Boas.
While Benitez may divide opinion among the media and some supporters, most recognise the huge achievements he made during his five years at Anfield and would welcome a return for him to work under the new owners to continue his legacy.

AVB ahead of Klopp?
Fucking mental.
Fucking mental.
Well, quite. Thank feck this isn't Ebbsfleet.
Yup. Obscene.
And SOS's case weakens.
Seriously though, I am not even sure that those polls are all the same, with the same choice, and I imagine that there is something of a crossover in members.
Anyone but Rafa winning on this forum.
I choose to believe we're the only ones who aren't influenced heavily by moderators and banning sticks (RAWK)

No to Rafa.
This.
There are some choices I'd far prefer to see Rafa come out on top in - I can't for the life of me see why Martinez would be a good choice. As for Capello - I think we get largely the same thing with Rafa with the slight bonus that he knows the club.
