Great read. Facts no?

He'll be in bother with his fellow hacks. Seriously off message there.

It's as balanced as you'll get, no 'almost' about it.

The man's a lunatic!

I'm reserving my rights here due to my long standing feud with ESPN.

he still comes to a net spend of 111m. the recent telegraph(?) article had it down at 120m.

lfchistory has it at about 83m.

 

the 229 bought in this article is the same, but sales of 118m are a lot less than the 145m that lfchistory has.

 

so either lfchistory has incorrect figures or the media still dont have their facts fully straight.

This guy has just made himself an outcast of the media circus.

 

He'll never get a Sunday Supplement invite with this type of article.

 

Balanced, thought out and without being derogeratory about Benitez.

 

He highlights errors Benitez has made which we'll probably all agree with, he's not faultless. But in no way does he go beyond this and point out any factually incorrect stats or spending which is poor in an article from a major company such as ESPN. He doesn't even make a massive issue about how cold Benitez can be.

 

This guy could well have written his last article.

Bizarrely, this guy uses facts as a basis for his piece.

 

Rhetoric and cliche are laughably low, he'll never make it to the dizzying heights of Martin Samuel. Mainly dizzying because he's so fat and can't walk ten paces without feeling faint.

Disgracefully balanced, why must we be subject to such tosh. Andy Gray, Richard Keys and other leading lights in the football establishment will be outraged that he has clearly ignored their valued thoughts on the matter.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Terrible piece, conflicts with everything I have read about Benitez lately, the guy must be a loose cannon !

[New York Red]

I wouldn't trust that guy. His mother couldn't even take care of her dog properly.

[David Hodgson]

It's a good piece, but I think it sets itself up as a 'case for the defence' rather than an attempt at reaching a balanced conclusion .
