    Rafa is Nafa

    He's been given the chop. http://www.marca.com/en/football/rea...6378b4616.html

    The Neviller strikes again.

    'LvG' would be perfect for them. He would sort the defence out, and Ronaldo will still score every week so they're sorted.

    And United could bring in Agent Benitez. He lives in the Wirral so it wouldn't be a far commute.

    The Neviller didn't win, nor has he done so unless you count the pub side he faced. Sir Rafa has also won trophies since leaving Liverpool than Man United and Salford City combined.

    Rafacts.

    Mourinho to go back which still leaves lvg to manage City's noisy neighbors.

    On a serious note, what a joke of a club Madrid are. Four points off top, 47 goals and easily into the next stage of the Champions League. What more are they after? Rafa to go to Bayern when Pep goes to City.

    Except the eminently more qualified, Carlo Ancelotti, has already taken it.

    They scored ten of those forty-seven goals in the biggest joke game you're ever likely to see.

    Don't you always have to do those commas when putting a name in the middle of a sentence like that? I never thought of it as a style thing.

    edit: I just read that post back. That's a horrific use of it. My apologies.

    It's an impossible job. If Jose was to return that would definitely be the end of him in football.

    Ronaldo for player/manager.

    Someone better take the fat piece of shit on sharpish. Can't be doing with all the retards saying we should sack Klopp and bring him back when things aren't magically better in three months time.

    Have some respect and wind your neck in. We were a Gareth Barry away from staying on the perch.

    One of the most inevitable things ever this.

    They might as well have employed Dave Bassett.

    I'm surprised they've done it midway through the season. It's almost as though a big name former manager has become available.

    Or not. Zidane has it. No idea if it's permanent or not. I'd quite like to see him do well as a manager.

    I'm guessing they'll finish third and then appoint Conte or someone in the summer.

    Conte? That would be funny, seeing Osvaldo play in Real Madrid.

    Couldn't think of many managers they haven't already sacked.

    If Conte does crap at the World Cup, maybe he'd look for a club job. His style doesn't fit them but nor did Benitez's.

    It's more of a language barrier than anything else. I honestly struggle seeing Conte in a non-Italian speaking role. Maybe Spanish could be an option for him, but I highly doubt it. I can see him either staying long-term on the NT like Löw if he does well at the Euros or going on hiatus until he finds a perfect job. Maybe Milan if they do get that Thai money.

    I thought Spanish was quite easy to learn for Italians?

    Thought he'd be too Juve-mad to go to Milan?

    It is quite easy to learn, but Conte always seemed quite conservative and very Italy-bound to me. Not sure if that's the right word. Maybe he'll prove me wrong, but I doubt he'll ever manage outside of Italy.

    He didn't leave Juve on the best of terms and I think any manager would take the Milan job if the club has money.

    I'm almost wanting to see Zidane fail to demonstrate how crazy Real as a club really are. Promoting their favourite son into a role where the previous 13 before him haven't been good enough has got to be a destiny for failure.

    How many places could Benitez feasibly land in next? Mid-table Spanish clubs?

    Few months out, then takes the Valencia job and destroys his legacy.

    He could go to most places couldn't be? Only the elite are out of the question I think. Perhaps Roma after Rudi Garcia is inevitably sacked.

    Benitez to Roma would be wonderful, we could do with another rival taken out of the title race.

    Zidane is the coolest man in football, so this is a good thing in my book.
