Point for Point... Benitez a Better manager than Rodgers #Fact

[6TimesaRed]

100 Premier League games in charge of #LFC for Brendan Rodgers: 184 points. Only Reds boss to secure more in his century: Rafa Benitez, 186

Damn fine effort though.. Given the state we where once in..

But both fallen well short of what is required..

2.3 to 2.35 points per game wins you the premier league..

*Awaits Pelters*

If the amount of points won was a good way of judging a manager, bearing in mind all that we already know about wage bill and league position, wouldn't you argue that Benitez started with a top 4 team and Rodgers started with a midtable one - meaning Rodgers' achievement is significantly better?

Poor title.. the fact is that Rafa won more points in his first 100 games, there is no fact around who is the "better" manager.

They both probably Started with teams that in comparison where equally as shite in the League. Arguabally we where no where near a top 4 side when Benitez first came in.. We didn't have a decent striker on the pitch for the majority of his first Season..

As my initial post, but without explanation... when you compare wage bills and league position, I would totally agree Rodgers has done grand job..

I think because the team finished fourth the month before Benitez was appointed we were a top four side. It's not arguable

This would be an appropriate use of "fact" @RedNinja

Pound for pound feathers weigh as much as bricks.

[Rosco]

We haven't had a net spend discussion in ages....

Great idea!

If Babel was in this team instead of [insert twat here] then we'd be at least 3rd.

Also Aquilani would have taken us to another level if given the chance.

Am I doing this this wumming thing right @RedNinja?

True, but we did finish 5th in his first season and the season before was a lot lower points total than the team that finished 4th last season..

I would say It's a lot harder these days to finish in the top 4th compared to back then..

There was no Man City back then, the sheik bought them in 2008.

It will dawn on us just as the flames start to lick the post you've been tied to in the middle of a big fucking bonfire.
