Real name Benitez on manager shortlist

[forde]

Out of that list i can only see Eriksson going there or an outside bet Capello! We no Rafa aint going anywhere < Wenger,Mourinho are happy where they are at them moment Lippi said the other week he wants to stay in charge of Italy after the world cup and Ancelotti signed a new deal with Milan last week! Capello is an outside bet he did very well there last time and has said in the past he would go back there!

[Guest AdamS]

Martin's comments are sure to place the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Milan and Juventus on high alert, but he did add that they would move through the proper channels.

Erm

[Andyjandy]

Take it Sven, your head will explode biatch

[Leo No.8]

Really professional as ever - naming a load of coaches at other clubs as being on your shortlist. Why is it they think they can carry on in a manner no other club does?

 

I'm not even slightly worried about Rafa going there anymore, I think all that has been sorted.

 

But regardless I hate them with an absolute passion - how dare they draw up their official shortlist of coaches and name ours on it, how f*cking dare they.

 

Remember Del Bosque - down to earth, steady bloke who got the best out of their 'Galacticos'. Sacked for not being a big enough name and replaced with that plant pot Quieroz. Years of service trampled on as he was ignominiously booted out despite winning La Liga.

 

Loyalty, dignity, respect - all the most important things Liverpool Football Club is famous for, are all the things which are lacking at Madrid.

 

They can stick their galacticos up their pompous arses...

[Flasher]

No mention of Slur Alex. That makes me smile, a lot...

[Stevie H]

rafa, wenger and mourinho have all already issued public statements saying they aren't interested.

Is correct.

 

They should never have got rid of Super Mario.

 

I think Sven will get the job. He is high profile and will be unattached after the summer. Should be perfect for them in terms of profile, but I don't think he has the acumen to bring success.

[Benitez]

the fact you said that makes me smile, a lot.

 

What a daft comment, the guys about 70 years old and a drunk. Why on earth would he be on Real Madrid's shortlist?

It's the perfect job for Svennis. He was only ever a chequebook manager at Nazio and Real have oodles of cash or him to spuff away.

 

He'll probably blow it all on Joke Hole.

[Flight]

Astonished Eriksson is on their list; he never seems to have any tactical nouse or ability to motivate.

[maldini11]

So if Eriksson gets the job will he then make beckham captain?

It was better than that -Del Bosque was booted out after winning the European Cup, not La Liga wasn't he?

Both if I remember correctly.

[Leo No.8]

If I remember rightly it was Jupp Heynces who was given the boot by Madrid the same season as winning the CL.

 

I think Del Bosque won it the season before, but 'only' won La Liga the season he got the push.

 

Seem to recall they lost to Juve in the semis in the year Del Bosque went, who then went on to lose to Milan in the final at Old Trafford.

I'll trust your recall on this....but not your spelling of Jupp Heynckes!

[Benitez]

yep, he left after they won the league, which of course, is the last thing they've won.

 

They offered him role of technical director.

 

Real claimed they let him go as coach, cos they felt they wanted a more 'modern' coach to move the club forward, then they signed Quieroz

[Cisse]

Ask any player who's played for Svennis, be it IFK Gothenburg, Sampdoria, Benfica or Lazio, and they'll tell you he's by far the best manager in the game. Only because he can't Ingarlund to win any medals doesn't necessarily mean he is s****.

Ask Kevin Davies who he thinks is the best manager.

Ask Tim Cahill who he thinks is the best manager.

I've just witnessed a man age 30years on the internet

[Earl Hafler]

Astonished Eriksson is on their list; he never seems to have any tactical nouse or ability to motivate.

 

But is high profile and capable of being influenced by both boardroom and changing room alike

[Flasher]

Eh? That's kinda the point, isn't it? The Worlds Greatest Manager TM isn't wanted by Madrid.

 

I'm quite sure that he would have at least liked to have been considered.

[Figaro]

They have Ancelotti - the new contract he signed with Milan isn't worth the paper it is written on

[Cunny]

Grauniad seem to think Sven will get it by default

 

Madrid fans don't want him though

 

The England coach is hardly the most popular candidate with the Bernabèu fans, with just 3.8% of a poll in which Benítez managed 28.4%, Mourinho 18.6%, Ancelotti 17.6% and Capello 15.9%. Only Lippi polled fewer.

[McBain]

Madrid always go for big names. and always end up with a small name due to the fact that any manager they're after would have to agree to be a puppet to the board

 

I dont see that suddenly changing just because Perez has gone

I was shaking my fist and waving my stick as I typed it.

 

Coming soon - if it wasn't for that pesky Real Madrid...
