Quote
It is worth noting that Benitez was not short of suitors: Inter Milan wanted him and informed him that Mourinho was as good as sacked if the Liverpool boss agreed to take over, while Atletico Madrid were also very keen; he also had offers from two Premier League clubs, thought to be Manchester City and Chelsea (although despite reports in the British press, Florentino Perez always preferred Ancelotti for the Real Madrid job). This means that Liverpool fans should take comfort from the fact that, while the global economic climate means that very few clubs could offer a guarantee of massive financial investment, Benitez feels that he will have the combination of resources and support at Liverpool to achieve sustained and long term success.

Its no real suprise he had a number of suitors, and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other clubs around Europe who would be tripping over themselves to get him if he was available. It really makes yesterdays news all the more comforting. People also forget he's still relativley young compared to some of the big names in management. I think he's 49, and look what he has already achieved, and just imagine how much better he may become.

With Inter so desperate for European success, I'm sure they would take Benitez over just about anyone out there.

And he's the only guy who I think could deliver them a European cup under such pressure.

He can become our Ferguson. No, not the drinking and hard shoulder shitting, but the complete rejuvenation of Liverpool over a 20-25 year period. Except with tactical european nouse.

Why not, with the ownership / transfer policy in Spain, I can't see Madrid winning for a looooooooooong time. We could get to 7/8 by the time Rafa's contract is up.

I don't know where this Balague guy took this story from, I didn't read anything on the Italian press. Assuming it's true, I wouldn't find it surprising 'cause everybody would agree that Benitez is the master of European games.

He is Rafa's press monkey. This most likely came from Rafa, with a nudge and a wink of 'dont you tell anyone you naughty young scamp *wink wink*'

Of course they have, rafa has an agent - even if rafa didn't want to leave his agent wouldn't be doing his job if he couldn't have alternatives when it came to negotiating rafa's new contract.

Rafa Benitez could have any job he wanted in world football. the man is shit hot.
