Benitez is a top-notch manager. To think otherwise is ludicrous.
And you'd be hard pressed to call us anything but a project after this season, regardless of whether or not that's true.
I didn't mention his skill as a manager, just his personality. His personality tells me he would never come here under Ashley.
Aye fair point.
Though I get the feeling that most top-flight managers are self-centered control freaks, whether they're class (Benitez, Ferguson) or garbage (Pardew, Hughes).
