Bad move for Rafa. Rafa excels in european football and won't get much of a chance with Villa.
We're Athletico/Villareal in the Europa league? They would have suited him. I'd rather he didn't come back to England to be honest. The Rafa Benitez discussions will never go away. If he fucks up, "he shits, always was". He does well "he should never have been sacked".
Arghhhhhhhh.

I've got this plan where we all get down to the flight school at Speke airport, nick all the planes, there's about 20 so we should be ok, 15 go off and dive bomb Ellesmere Port oil refinery and the other 5 go and attack Caldy. It will be the best art installation ever. I'll observe in a helicopter and take questions from the press.
Surprised he's gone there at all given he likes full financial control and fair bit of clout behind him too. Maybe he sees it as a challenge and a second chance to get fully to grips with the Premiership, in the hope of another move later on if he does well...
Strange he's not gone back to Spain.

Still think Kevin MacDonald would've been the right choice.

I dunno - I actually think it's a good fit. Rafa clearly loves living in the UK. Villa aren't skint as the Bent for 24m in January proved. They will probably get a bit of money after the sale of Young and Downing. Seems like a good project for him. I reckon he will be a success there.
Rafa... please take the time to ensure that Ashley Young is never sold to Man Ure... remember the facts.... and remember that Argie left back.
In bewteen buying every goalkeeper on the planet (except Pepe) please take the time to sell us Ashley Young on the cheap and offer us 20m for Lucas.
Thanks.
PS.. 25m and Glen Johnson is yours as well....

If true, the Villa fans should be over the moon - but they won't, because a lot of them are morons.

I really hope Rafa throws a monkey wrench into the machinery and demands £50 Million for Young.
[/quote]
Like he did with Owen?
He'll probably halve the asking price
[/quote]
True. But this is Man U. Real Madrid are Rafa's favourite team.
He can at least delay the transfer or try to convince Young to join us instead.
Remember how Man U didn't want to sell Heinze to us? (Thank God)
It's payback time.

Sky Sports sources understand that Rafa Benitez will not be Aston Villa's next manager.
The Spaniard had emerged as the bookmakers favourite to succeed Gerard Houllier, after the likes of Carlo Ancelotti had ruled himself out of the equation.
But now after making initial enquiries, the former Liverpool chief is no longer in the running to take charge.
Villa owner Randy Lerner has flown into England to oversee the appointment of a new manager, and their search now continues.
Mark Hughes, who left Fulham earlier this month, is still being linked despite being ruled out by sources close to the club, along with former England coach Steve McClaren.

"I will not work under another fucking American. FACT"
Can we bring Rafa in as a tactical adviser if we get into the CL in 2012?

Wow I said the same thing in another thread...great minds right? 😉
To be honest I think Rafa is waiting for either Kenny or Mancini to fuck up.
He's settled in Liverpool, so is his wife and kids, and I don't think he wants to move to Birmingham on the other side of the country.

Strange to think that 12 months after he's gone, there's only Pepe and Kuyt who I'd want to see in the starting 11 of his signings.
[/quote]
Well, Glenjo, Skrtel and Lucas are all first 11 regulars.
Still, I take your point.

He moved them to Milan quickly enough though didn't he?
Even if Mancini or Kenny do fuck up I doubt Benitez has much of a chance of getting either of those jobs.

Ok, now try relay that message to Rafa.
Inter is too big to pass up. Comparing Villa and Inter are you?
