He didn't get big financial backing while at Liverpool and yet look what he achieved.

Look at some of the players he inherited though mate. Dudek, Gerrard, Carragher, Hamann, Hyypia etc..... We were also there or there abouts the CL places before he came. Swansea are nowhere near mate.

Fair enough if you want to believe Rafa Benitez could get Swansea into the CL in 3 years without massive funding thats upto you. I doubt many, if any would agree with you though.

Anyway nevermind Swansea, we're going to find it hard enough getting back into the CL places within three years ourselves.

Not that it would ever happen - but RAWK would implode if Rafa took over there.

I can see it now.

As good a manager as Rafa is, you have to be mental if you think he can work miracles and turn Swansea into a CL competing club within a few years. Just think for a second.

Would love to see Bergkamp as a manager in England.
Let us never forget Rafael Benitez and what he did for us. A fighter full of guts and passion. A gentleman full of class and dignity. A football manager full of intelligence and pure genius. A Legend.
Adios Rafa, buena suerte.

Your task is a simple one Brendan: make us dream again!

Came to post the same thing.
Quote from: Dion Fanning

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

Christ! Ragnick potentially at WBA and Laudrup at Swansea. FSG must be hoping their appointment of Rodgers is a success otherwise questions will be rightfully asked.

Hope it works out for him, because if it doesn't the media in this country could ruin his career.

That's the sort of brave appointment clubs should be going for as opposed to just picking up the same old shite like McLeish, Bruce, Hughes and O'Neill.  I think this could work out to be an excellent appointment by Swansea

He's a very talented, progressive manager alright, but clearly also very single-minded, and so very highly principled. A real my-way-or-no-way type; diplomacy's not his thing - he'd never roll up his sleeves and get stuck into some miry political brinkmanship anywhere, like Rafa did/had to. He evidently wouldn't think twice about resigning after 20 minutes in the job if he's frustrated with anything behind the scenes! Swansea'd have to indulge him and simply not interfere, if they want to get the best from him.

Tell you what, if they do get him and it all clicks into place there, and shit doesn't go so smoothly for Buck here, FSG are gona look right twats, aren't they? I like Rodgers a lot, and perhaps he will prove the best man for us at this time in our history, but the name Michael Laudrup has a hell of a pull, does it not. Holds a lot of respect at the very highest echelons of the game, the kind of man that top players will come over just to work with. Brendan Rodgers is still carving out a name for himself in the game.

Seedorf for Swansea? ???
