There is a story in the Mirror today saying that Rafa Benitez may leave Napoli in the summer and return to the Wirral and they are giving it the "2+2=4" and saying he could replace Rodgers. Now its probably bull but I just wondered who would have Rafa back. Yes he could negative at times but we also had one of the best midfields in Europe in 2005 when he was manager and I always wondered what he could with decent backing from the current owners which is something I believe he didn't get with Hicks & Gillet.
So Ed(s)/everyone else would you have him back?

{Ed001's Note - there are a few people talking about this, I would be very surprised as last I heard he was looking to sign a new contract with Napoli, who were also looking to offer him one. While he was beloved at Liverpool as a person, there are still a lot who remember his politicking behind the scenes and his massive spending on players each season. It would be a huge sea change in the feeling there if Rafa was brought back. De Boer still seems the favourite, from what I can find out.

As for whether I would have Rafa back, for the club's sake not as the manager. If it is as a DoF, that I would also have reservations over. For the city though, his return would be a boost, as he and Montse are very heavily involved in working for local charities etc.}
