Guest Knightrider Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think your 'grief' came from booing a manager who'd only been in the job 5 minutes. Shows how little people understand then. The performances were being booed, the decisions, the situation. That doesn't equate to "NUFC fans want Big Sam out after 5 minutes". If anything he enjoyed more support than not and away fans always sang his name. People were shocked when he was sacked and many wondered whether it was the right thing to do.

First real, real sign, then? I know he's made mistakes in the past and that but it only seems to be the last few months where he has really been questioned by some.

There have been murmerings from Red Shite fans for a while, as Benitez hs shown himself to be more and more stubborn, entrenched and seemingly obsessed with proving the viability of a (failing) rotation system. He's also used the media to cintinue his spat with his bosses (Shite fans are very precious about not washing their dirty linen in public), and apparently lost the dressing room to an alarming degree.

Robster Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I did smile when I read 1 letter on Sky Sports text when a Liverpool complained that its going to be "another" trophyless season. Fucking hell they really dont know they're born do they. Fair to say that Liverpool fans never have to wait for more than 3/4 years before another trophy comes along - regardless of who is the manager.

Cronky Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 There was an interesting piece from Tony Cascarino in the Times yesterday. He said that Benitez had always preferred to keep his distance from the players, and now that he was in trouble, he was trying to get more pally. His insinuation was that the players weren't having any of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slippery Sam Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The thing I love about Liverpool fans is the antipathy the scousers have for Liverpool supporters who don't come from Liverpool. The true scouser thinks that the only opinion about their club which is relevant is there own and 'outsider's' views are worthless. The scouser is currently stuck in a difficult situation (like seeing a car with nice wheels but no nearby bricks to leave the car sitting on!) because they are fuming at Benitez yet they are caught up in this bullshit about traditionally backing their managers, but are desperate to slag him off.
