Benitez to replace Houllier??

Benitez would improve Villa I've no doubt but I think Allardyce would be a better fit. Benitez is a level above both Villa and Alardyce imo.

He's the man that toppled Real and Barca. I think he's about two levels above Villa.
Taking on Villa for Benitez is a step backwards.

And about 84449999999 levels above fucking "Big Sam"

I'd love to see an argument between Big Sam and Benitez.

I bet it would end like this:

- OK, Sam I'm a disrespectful, moaning Spanish cunt who is obsessed with every team that you've managed and I did the "it's over" sign when Alonso scored.

- But how many titles have you won?

I mentioned in the other thread he was fav for the Blackburn job, it's beginning to look like he'll get a job but was waiting to see (via his media campaign) if he had a hope at getting the Liverpool job.

Seriously? You thought he actually *had* a chance of getting it?

As for him taking the Villa job, there would be pros and cons IMO. On the one hand GH unfortunately hasn't been a good fit for them (as I'm afraid I suspected all along) and Rafa would instantly tidy them up and make them harder to beat. On the other hand, don't they have a DOF? In which case appointing Rafa would turn into a car crash eventually. Blackburn would allow him (a) to live at home more easily and (b) to give Allardyce the metaphorical finger if he succeeds there.

I know he has no hope, but he's a deluded fuckwit who it seems was hoping to whip up some fan frenzy like he did when he screwed us over with his 5 year contract.

You're obsession with Benitez is bordering on Brendan & Lucas-like.

Tut tut!

I don't think Benitez to Villa would work at all. His strength is clearly in European football. They are not there and not likely to be.

If a club needs rebuilding to get to that level you don't go getting Benitez in. You get him in when you're halfway there already if anything.

And if you have lots of money and are happy to have no say at all on how it is spent.

Alright, let's close it up. Rafa's gone, all of us have to move on. Even Rosco, even me.

Although I'm sure the beloved Fat Sam will be throwing his name in the ring at the first opportunity.

If the Fat Sam gets a job at Villa, I will start watching post match interviews again.
