I would swap the top two around, only my opinion though. King Kenny should be just above Rafa due to the time in management, but Rafa should be a strong 3rd in 6 seasons time.

i agree,rafa needs to win the title

Benitez's Euro triumph and his dignified personality seems to have convinced many to vote for him. I agree that at present Dalglish anf Joe Fagan would be above Benitez for now, but in a few years well the Boss will make-up ground.. "for sure"

Oooh I lurve Benitez .. respect to the Boss

I have to say, Fagan should be much Higher. Third or perhaps fourth just behind Benitez who I believe will win alot more in the years to come. If winning the Champions League in your first year is anything to go by, then we have alot of good times ahead.

I think Rafa's rank is purely based on hysteria around the Champions league win. I'm surprised at the lack of votes for Kenny - i thought he'd reach 3rd at least

by **Cisse's Beard** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:30 pm

I'd have wanted it to turn out like this:
Bill Shankly
Bob Paisley
Joe Fagan
Kenny Dalglish
Rafael Benitez
Roy Evans
Gerard Houllier
Graeme Souness
John McKenna
Phil Taylor
Don Welsh
William Barclay
Matt McQueen
George Patterson
George Kay
David Ashworth

Benitez is only that high because he's relitavly new, won the champions league, and hasn't had the time to do something wrong.

by **JohnBull** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:36 pm

There are 15 people out there who honestly think that Phil Taylor and Don Welsh deserve a vote

?

I blame Margaret Thatcher for stopping free school milk. Christ it was terrible being a red kid in the taylor/welsh years

by **Cisse's Beard** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 4:48 pm

Luckily for me, I'm growing up as a teenager in the Rafa years!

by **drummerphil** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:13 pm

I grew up in the paisley years so i must be even luckier

by **DrTNT** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 6:03 pm

In eight to ten years Rafa will be up there with Shankly and Paisley, he has done well so far (maybe thats an under statement

) but I believe he will bring back the glory years to Anfield in the near future. :buttrock

Fagan is below Benitez and Houllier? :/
