Toe to toe, Rafa is easily up there with both of our greatest managers, and is doing a similar job to Shanks, in as much as he's resurrecting a sleeping giant.
Paisley had a title-winning team when he came to the helm and made it better, which is easier in many respects than starting from an also-ran/2nd Division position.
Shanks had to work harder, IMHO, and laid all the foundations.
Pretty much as Rafa is doing now.
You're getting far too carried away, let Rafa complete his ten year spell with us, then compare him to Shanks and Paisley.
Are you actually a Liverpool fan? DO you want success?
If you look at their records for their first 2 years, I'm sure Rafa's will match Paisley's and definately better SHankly's. (Obviously Shanks started out in Div 2, but even so.)
And do not forget that neither SHanks nor Bob had a money-bags team blocking their path to title success.
Rafa's trophy count in 2 years in charge:
European Cup, European Super Cup and FA Cup.
Shanks:
Remained in Div 2 until 1961-62, when he won the 2nd DIv Championship. Ergo nothing in the first 2 years.
Bob: 2 Titles, Uefa Cup and Euopean Cup.
Can anyone seriously argue that Rafa's record doesn't stand up to his illustious predecessors?
I'm not saying he'll be as successful. I'm not saying he's better. All I'm saying is you can't say he's worse.
Now rejoice that we have the best manager in the World at the helm of our club.
And stop talking sh*t.
What has me being a Liverpool fan and wanting success got to do with with Rafa being a legend like Shanks and Bob? Rafa's record is great don't get me wrong but you I think it's rather early to be comparing Rafa to past legends. I didn't realise ppl's views that were different from your's where s.hit you up your own a.rse p.rick.
Are you THAT thick?
Can't you read, you f*cking spanner?
Did I not say "I'm not saying he'll be as successful. I'm not saying he's better. All I'm saying is you can't say he's worse."?
Does this not mean, by it's very definition, that you can't say he's inferior?
Get a f*cking college prospectus and enroll on an English Course, you f*cking tw*t.
Typical boring post from you Lando. You keep deluding yourself and thinking Benitez is on par with Shanks and Bob, I really can't be bothered debating with someone who can't finish a sentence without swearing.
helped them win numerous league titles and european cups and who knows, a few jars may help Garica pass the ball to a teammate.
