Indecent haste?

Maybe so maz but what counts is whether randy will be ?

No, my opinion is more important than Randy's.

McLaren may just be the man

I'm really not at all interested in Benitez.

He will be gutted. I saw an interview with him saying that he was holding out for a date with Mazrim, or H&V and heavy rock. Something about lookalikes or something.

Benitez is an intriguing case. Wants to manage in the premier league again, has as good pedigree as Houllier but is significantly younger, been manager of Inter, Valencia and Liverpool, so it would be a coup somewhat to get him.

His record is good athough I think he's on a downward spiral. Then again, when I see people recommend McLaren I would welcome Fatty Benitez like a long lost favourite waiter.

I don't think we're in a position to turn down European Cup & La Liga winners if we've got a vacancy.

I dont know. Maybe. I shouldn't let the fact I dont really like the bloke sway me, true. But then I get this image of him taking Torres off and throwing Eggnog on with his players looking at each other in disbelief and think he might just have gone a bit mental over the last year or two.

Plus he went to one of the best teams in Europe and made a bollocks of it. However, his record is impressive and he would deserve consideration.

Not only that, some of his signings towards the end of his time at Liverpool were a bit suspect. £20m on Robbie Keane, £18m on Aquilani, £18m on Glen Johnson, then you've got the likes of Ngog, Babel, Lucas etc. Reina, Alonso and Torres were three highlights mind you.

I definitely thought he was losing it in the last season at Liverpool, but he was working for that pair of knobheads.

And it can't be easy to follow Mourinho, but yes, he should have done better there.

I reckon there's still an excellent manager in there somewhere. But then again I reckon there are a fair few bags of pork scratchings in there too.

Just browsed several sites and seems that rumours are gathering about rafa Benitez , several sites are saying GED will retire and Benitez take over- not sure what to make of that if it happens.

Seen a few Everton sites and they think Moyes to Villa is on, so who knows.

Really not sure I'd want another manager with a Liverpool infatuation making puppydog eyes at them whenever we're up there. Or thinking we should be grateful that he'd lower himself to to take the gig.

I would bet he is in credit on the money spent/ received though following the Torres departure, and Ngog is a decent young player, while Babbel at the time looked like he was set to be a phenomenal player. Keane was an odd signing and they lost 5 million or so in 6 months, while Aquilani had a very good reputation and replacing Alonso was always going to be hard.

They will near on get their money back on Johnson when he goes to Spurs I reckon too, and Reina is a phenomenal keeper. Think he would do quite well for us, certainly sort out the defence. Much more interesting than Moyes IMO.

Firstly, for a so called decent young player, Ngog has'nt pulled up any trees at Anfield at all. Babel was a striker in Holland but he played him on the wing.  Alonso might have been an hard act to follow but blowing all the money he got for him on 1 player who flopped badly was a bit of a clanger and i'd be surprised if Spuds paid £18m for Glen Johnson, although i hope they do if it means them letting Walker go.

[VillaZogmariner]

I'd be very happy with Benitez as manager.

This made me chuckle!

Really? What's been said and how credible?
