Rafa Benitez - The Destroyer of Teams

There's no reason to delete it. Redirect will expire in half an hour. If you are bothered by the title, I can change it to Rafa Benitez only.

I don't think there is a reason to be upset about the title. He either destroy Real Madrid or the other clubs. It could go both way you know.

I am bothered and I know it's gonna sound weird.. I'm bothered by the lack of capital letters : Rafa Benitez- The Destroyer of Clubs if possible.

I would appreciate if you changed it. Because its totally false that he destroys CLUBS. Teams - maybe! But not clubs. Plus as I know more of what happened with Rafa and the LFC owners in 2009-10 than anyone else on this board, I know for a fact (pun intended!) that he wasn't to blame one iota for us almost going into administration.

Make fun of his man-management style, team selection etc - I've no problem with that. I only have a problem with the myth that he destroys clubs.

To satisfy the others I suggest deleting club and putting in team. Because there is a difference between the two.

Rafael Benitez, more rigid and defensive minded than Mourinho, while being a poor man's Ancelotti in terms of being a Cup manager. Additionally he isn't even half as good as those two at man management. Only thing he got going is that Perez will handle the transfers, so he can't embarass himself in the market. Couldn't be more happy with the signing tbh.

Some mean comments about him. At the end of the day, Benitez is a better coach right now than Pep or Lucho were when they were given the job to coach Barca. Lucho failed at Roma and did a decent job at Celta. Look at him now. Every manager can seize the moment and make his own future from this point onwards, based on how he makes his choices.

They did it early in their careers, not 20 years into it.

This is a new experience for Benitez. He never had such an amazing squad at his disposal, so many top players. Lucho tried to implement some of his ideas in a lesser team like Roma and he failed. With amazing players, he is on his way to a treble. Never underestimate the importance of a squad's value. Top players can make managers.

how 'bout Inter 2010 ? from treble winning to trailing AC Milan by 13 points in 4 months.

Forget his tactical nous, Benitez is horrible when it comes to man management. And RM players are probably pissed off at Ancelotti's sacking. He'll have to somehow change his ways and win the divas trust and respect early on if he is to do well.

 

[Ini8]

I don't think he'll get along with Ronaldo, Ramos and Casillas.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

That's my obvious sentiment too. But i don't put a barbecue op past benitez and marça will eat it up.

You're comparing that old Inter side, with a lot of players who retired after 2010, with this Real Madrid side, which is the 2nd most valuable in the world? There is a massive difference IMO.
