Rocket i have to ask, are your regular unnecessary diatribes at folk misguided attempts to create spicier debate or do you genuinely feel the need to rant insults at folk for having a different opinion? Genuine question, i'm curious.
Reason i ask is because say what you like about Benitez but his record bar inter is pretty good. It all fell down at liverpool but lets not forget he won trophies there including the champions league which the current incumbent of the madrid job could not do at a much better financed chelsea. Its also not hard to point the a fair bit of the blame for the decline at liverpool on messrs gillete and hicks. If you add to this the fact he has worked as youth coach at madrid as well as winning la liga twice and eufa cup at valencia, a return to the bernabau as manager is not that much of a leap. Especially when he was the last manager to win la liga with a team that wasn't in el clasico last night.
