QuoteRafa Benitez is an altogether different animal to his Anfield predecessor. Without the language skills or the cutting humour

I stopped reading this tripe after this. Most of the time you can't understanda word Daglish is mumbling. As for his put down working - their respective records since that date suggest otherwise.

He was talking about that season i.e. 87-88. And given that they come from the same place, I'm sure Ferguson understood him perfectly!

And its hardly tripe. Is no one allowed to have an opinion that differs from the United interpretation that Benitez' statements were nothing but an embarrassing public meltdown, indicative of a man struggling with the pressure?

Personally, I am not sure that it was the wisest move on Benitez' part (and neither is the writer here), but the comparison's with Keegan are nonsense for the very reason this guy outlines in this piece.

One of Dalglishs finest achievements was winning a league title with a team of players such as Sherwood, Ripley, Wilcox & Kenna.
