Rafa Benitez Newcastle United Manager.

[Bingo]

The injuries have been a killer for Rafa.

Ancelotti had as much if not more. Rafa wants to buy 4/5 players to improve a squad that just won the Treble.

Do you think that if Fergie left in the morning that the new manager, regardless of who they are, wouldn't want to take their own men in or would get near as much out of the team as he fergie can? I reckon only Jose would have a chance of following his recent record and he'd even look to spend.

Inter spent millions on the team under Jose including one of the best midfielders,Goalkeepers & strikers etc.. i'm sure Massimo Moratti was shocked with those rebuilding comments from Rafa.

IMO Inter had a great chance to become the first team since Ac Milan to win back to back European cups (if jose stayed) Now they will be lucky to get over a struggling Bayern.

10 million in compensation in 5/6 months didn't he do well?? With Rafa now sacked! i may put some money on Inter to regain the Champions league 20/1 great value.

[Hoof Hearted]

Odds on Roy going back to Inter to his old friend massimo and rafa taking his place in Liverpool?

Not a hope. It was the Mourinho affect that took them there last year.

A good manager like him won't  be out of work long I'm sure any number of clubs would take him.

Former Roma boss Spalletti is taking over at inter



Best for Rafa to head back to Spain (plenty of restaurants looking for waiters)

I'd love him to buy 2 tickets behind the Liverpool bench at every game for the rest of the season and heckle Hodgson throughout the game

I'm sure the last thing Hodgson wants is Rafa turning up for every game sitting up in the stand with Dalglish. Although it's certainly a possibility as he'll be back living in Liverpool again.
