I really hope so. A few of us have discussed this and reckon it might happen one day. Would be great for him to come back and finish what he's started.


How anyone can think that removing Rafael Benitez and replacing him with Hodgson/O'Neill/Hughes is a postive step for the club.


Have heard that his wife and kids are staying in Liverpool as they love it so much.

What is it about the PL... Jaun Ramos was another one who landed on his feet, thrown out of Spurs and then get's the Real Madrid job! Houllier kicked out of Anfield then picks up an easy ride with the triple defending Champions Lyon! Raneri booted out by Chelsea then taking over double Champions Valencia.


By all this sound logic I guess that makes Phil Brown favourite to be new Liverpool boss!!


On another note I do think Rafa will have learnt a great deal from his time in England. Taking over the double Champions sounds like a breeze but it is ageing team that will need to be reinforced. However I believe Rafa's philosophy of how to play winning football is perfectly suited for Italy.

Would that be taking them down to the Championship? ;-)

Just read this in the Echo.


THE ECHO can exclusively reveal that Rafa Benitez today donated ?96,000 to the Hillsborough Family Support Group as he gets set to leave Merseyside.


The former Liverpool FC boss, who was today confirmed as the new manager at Inter Milan, handed over the cheque to Margaret Aspinall, chairwoman of the HFSG, as the rest of the committee watched on this afternoon.


In a low key visit to the group's office, Benitez wished the group well and told them he hoped they would get the justice and the truth they are campaigning for.


Mrs Aspinall said: "It was just nice to know that he wanted to see us before he went."



I know football isn't just about sentiment, but if there was ever a man that was meant to be a manager at Liverpool then Rafa fills those shoes.


Gutted he has gone.

Reds start with a home fixture to Arsenal, then it's an away fixture at Man City to follow... so nice easy start!


Game 5 is a visit to Old Trafford, which I think it after CL group match 1 (and let me get in the excuses early that'll no doubt be 3 days after a far flung trip to Asia for Liverpool in Europa League on the Thursday night... thanks Rafa ;)

  • 3 weeks later...

Tottenham Hotspur don't have a shirt sponsor for the coming season and there is a chance they will start the season without one, however, the News of the World yesterday reported they are working on a project to acquire different sponsors for each competition they play.




TV coverage for Spurs' league, cup and European games all go to different markets. If the club is to maximise shirt sponsorship income it will granularise the product offering into different packages. The same is true for Celtic.


Where Spurs lead, others will follow. Eventually.

    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was.
