After people were throwing insults at me

And I actually asked when do we pick up the trophy - it's called sarcasm intended to make a point.

But I suppose someone going around the board throwing insults and attacking posters is all relevant and adds so much to the board.

Before you start calling me a "troll" ( for posting opinions ) Bam why don't you have a look at you and your history of posting on here. Maybe you might just see a problem within yourself.

Benny, get back on the meds, it might curb the troll in you.

BTW, this was a nice place to post when you took a break from here, since you've been back you've been flaming as usual.  :glare:

Woof has asked us to stop this so please stop throwing insults at me and try and join in the debate without attacking posters.

Hopefully that is now the end of the discussion.

It's not just me though is it Benny. YOU need to stop this with just about everyone else.

It's no coincidence that you're at the heart of most spats on here.

Anyway back to BR.

This summer will be the crucial point in his career

If he brings in the right CB's and a physical DM it could go a long way to getting us back into the top 4 before players like Suarez and possibly even Coutinho will leave.

Don't get CL next season and Suarez is going to leave and it's going to be a big struggle

I do believe it was you accusing me of being a troll that started this off - but don't let that fact get in the way of any accusations Bam. You can lecture me when you show behaviour beyond reproach ( how many accounts have you had now after being banned ? )

Did you have anything to add to the actual subject of the thread that is BR ?

i cant believe anyone could have a go at benitez after what he did for this club.
i wouldnt swap rodgers for any manager at this moment but i wouldnt start slating a genuine legend of this club to make my point.



Fantastic post and I'm sorry mate if it came across that I was slating Rafa. That was not my intention. I was simply trying to reason that sacking BR and bringing back Rafa was not in my opinion the best way to go. Rafa had an incredible amount of sh.ite to put up with over his last couple of years with the club and that may well have influenced his decisions  which lead to a very lack lustre period. I  will always be a fan and even cheered him on to win the Europa League even if it was with a bunch of fkg chavs !!

your general point is right mate, rafa had 6 years at the club which is a decent run by modern standards (the average manager these days lasts 18 months) and now it`s rodgers`s turn, he deserves the chance to show what he can do.
i pointed out in that post you quoted that when rafa arrived we were in turmoil but to be fair to rodgers he never exactly inherited a rose garden himself either.
over the past 3 years we`ve nearly gone to the wall, gone through a civil war between the fans, had a change of ownership, had 4 managers, lost a potential DoF (pep segura) when we decided not to hire one, been involved in the biggest sporting race row since the early 80`s, sacked a club legend up there with bill shankly and have finished 6th, 7th and 8th in the league!
with the likes of coutinho and sturridge leading the way the fact that the future potentially looks so bright after just 9 months is a testament of how good a job brendan is doing.
btw i can understand some fans feeling that rafa has unfinished business at the club because of the way he left, rafa was prepared to take the world on for us, he had run ins with ferguson (and his sidekick david gill), mourinho, wenger, allardyce, moyes, warnock, the F.A.....the lot, he had us going toe to toe trading blow for blow with the richest and most powerful clubs in the world at a time when when they held all the aces, rafa benitez though, like all great caesers was brought down from within, stabbed in the back.
he was so busy fighting for us that was the one direction he wasnt looking.
thats all water under the bridge now and a part of LFC history, its brendans turn to write us another chapter.

eh? not sure what you are on about mate but my post(s) werent really designed to have a go at anyone, they were meant more as a reminder of the great job rafa did for us.
so much has happened at this club over the last 3/4 years it`s easy to forget just how well he did.

We spend too much time looking back and not forward and Rafa coming back into the game
has made it ten times worse. Its as though he never left the club and he gets more attention
from the fans than our own manager.

To be honest I just hope Benitez takes a job abroad as it will make Rodgers task even harder
with him around in what will be the real test season for him anyway.

I mean what's worse, Chelsea fans booing their own manager or us singing for him when in
direct opposition leaving our boy Rodgers feeling like a right tw@t in his own back yard.

We get stuck into Chelsea for their treatment of Rafa and yet Hodgson got absolutely battered
here.

I will be right on Rodgers case if I think hes not doing the job but sometimes I wonder whats
going on these days, lot of anger and frustration deep down at Liverpool.
