I'd agree with that. In fact, he needs to go further than that to get canonised in my book, but he's moving in the right direction.

If Rafael Benitez was in any doubt about just how much the Liverpool supporters loved him, the answer was spelled out to the Spanish boss on Tuesday night.
Benitez, in Cologne for Wednesday night's game against Bayer Leverkusen, was spotted in the team's Hyatt Hotel by a group of fans who had travelled over from Liverpool earlier in the day.
The Liverpool boss was promptly invited down to the pub for a drink to watch Tuesday night's Champions League games involving Manchester United and Chelsea and guess what? He said yes!
Inside Jameson's Irish Bar in Cologne word began to spread that Rafael Benitez was outside the pub. Inside the place was heaving with Liverpool fans and a sprinkling of German-based Chelsea and Manchester United supporters. Getting to the bar was proving harder than keeping clean sheet on any away trip this season but still the rumours that Liverpool manager was outside the pub continued.
Then, he walked in.
"It was like Jesus walking into a room!" claimed Allen Baynes, a school inspector from Kirkby who was inside the pub. "The place went absolutely mental. Rafa walked in a with a couple of fellas and as soon as he set foot in the place, Hernan Crespo headed the ball past Tim Howard and Manchester United were effectively out of the Champions League, What a moment! United as good as out and Rafa's in the same pub! It was Shankly-esque!"
As Benitez stood there, looking at what must have been 500 Liverpool fans going mad, a chant from the back started up.
It went something like this: 'The famous Rafa Benitez went the pub to see the lads and this is what he said, Who the **** are Man United? Who the **** are Man United? Who the **** are Man United when the Reds go marching on!'
The Liverpool manager looked on in awe as he saw for the first time just how passionate his team's supporters actually are.
"He looked absolutely amazed at what he was seeing," claimed Chris Brannan, a supporter from Tuebrook who had followed the Reds since they were in the second division. "He wasn't drinking like the rest of us but then he didn't need to. Imagine for a minute you're Rafael Benitez. You're a Spanish manager who doesn't know exactly what the Liverpool fans are about and there you are, walking into a pub in Germany on the back of two big defeats and suddenly you've got 500 proper lads singing your name. It was like something from Palestine. He means that much to us! Everyone, and I mean everyone, got out a mobile phone and tried to take his picture as he stood there with us, the normal Liverpool fans, watching the Chelsea and United games on the TV.
"People talk all this rubbish about Everton being the People's Club but we've always know that was just words said to appease the Everton fans. Could you imagine Moyes, or any other manager in the world for that matter, going to the pub with the fans? No chance.
"Rafa did it on Wednesday night and as far back as I can remember, and I'm an old man, I've never heard of any manager doing something like that. Everton, The People's Club? Don't make me laugh. We are the real People's Club. Always have been, always will be."

LFC 2 - 1 Scum
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez:
"The fans deserved the win and so do the players after their fantastic work-rate and effort they have put in.
"We played better after the break after conceding an early goal in the first-half. It was a good game and we deserved to win."
Manchester United assistant boss Mike Phelan:
"We were only in the game for seven or eight minutes and after that we did not perform.
"They bossed us out of the game and their tactics worked as they put us under pressure".

Liverpool end Chelsea's 4-year unbeaten home run
Chavs 0 Liverpool 1
Xabi Alonso's first-half goal ended Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten home league record and put Liverpool three points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Alonso struck in the ninth minute when his 20-yard shot deflected off Jose Bosingwa and left Petr Cech wrong-footed.
It was Chelsea's first defeat under new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari but Liverpool were always in charge of a pulsating contest at Stamford Bridge and look real title contenders on this form.
