Out of the frying pan ? Fat waiter to replace Le Gaffeur !

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Dont panic, its from The Sun. I've only seen it because its reproduced on yahoo.

   Legendary Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is set for a shock return to the Premier League, according to this morning's papers.

..The Sun claims that the Spaniard, who won the 2004-5 Champions League with Liverpool and reached the final two seasons later, is being lined up by Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner despite his troubled track record with American paymasters while at Anfield.

He took over European champions Internazionale from Jose Mourinho in the summer but lasted only a few months before being replaced by Leonardo and is currently out of work.

Villa boss Gerard Houllier is under pressure from fans and reports on Friday claimed several of the club's top stars are ready to walk out in protest at 'draconian' disciplinary measures introduced by the Frenchman.

They might have won the title if Fergie had not got inside his noodle and twisted his melon.

This is fact.

Pros
* Very tactically astute
* European Cup Winner

Cons
* Football devoid of passion

[JUAN PABLO]

Does he know Barry has now left?

Haven't they just

Another con is that he needs a bottemless pit of money to spunk.

Would prefer to stick with what we have.

Can we please avoid anything to do with the scousers, whilst I think Houiller is a knob and needs to go, I dont want that man anywhere near our club.

What next corpse of Paisley?

Would prefer to stick with what we have.

Same here.

[VillaZogmariner]

On the plus side - when he took over from Houllier at Livepool he won the Champions League in his first season. So it's a good omen!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

corpse of Paisley?

If I form a band, that will be it's name.

[cdbearsfan]

Benitez did pretty well at Valencia. He might be ok. I hope we don't sign that useless Spanish forward who used to play for Liverpool. You know the one, "the Spanish Harewood".

[Irish villain]

Would prefer to stick with what we have.

He would be a considerable improvement on what we have...but I still wouldn't want him.

Break the bank for Moyes, Coyle or Jol.

[Salsa Party Animal]

No No No.

[VillaAlways]

It's in The Sun it aint happening,panic not.He wouldn't come to a Championship side anyway
