Should Benitez be sacked if he still can't win the league?

He should stay, EPL title isn’t the only measure of success, although winning it consistently would be good. But even based on EPL League alone, Liverpool’s...

fans was unhappy with houllier. the players themselves were not happy with his 9 players and 1 emile heskey formation. Laughing

i think if next season pool not winning the league or any cups, rafa’s head will roll as it is a culture of liverpool board to ask the manager to leave if they did not promise to deliver in 3 seasons.

If he is going to be sacked, find a better manager than him 1st.

If Benitez spend subsential money and again fail to at least compete against the top 2 side struggling to finish 3rd place like this season, yes I want him out of Liverpool. He is a great tactician but his style of football is not suitable for the english game.

I liked ur take.

No manager can guarantee cup or league success. Not even any obscene amount of money to bring in so called star players can guarantee league or cup success.

Benitez had been tremendous in instilling much beliefs, discipline and tactical awareness amongst the players since Houllier's days & before. I'm not taking away Houllier's archievements but IMO, this current crop of players have what it takes to bring more glory back to Anfield.

2 Champions League Finals within 3 years. How many managers can do that? There is also improvement in the league standings as well and the gap is closer than before.

why don’t post in soccer?

Båseline SG

have u been catching the news or u have been away for far too long???

2 Champions League FINALS in THREE season, a winner and runner-up respectively... zho hi one ah??

And mind you, like any other season... many clubs will improve on their own squad as well.. not oni LFC. Many a times, clubs have been proven that even if u awful lot of money to bring in players can't buy success.

You could have look deeper than believing asking for more money and zero delivery will resulted a sacking. Even star players need time to gel with the pace of each league.

Exactly. If Benitez is to leave, Liverpool management have to find one who is capable of bringing cup successes or even more than what Benitez has done for pool. I see very few capable of dat loh. Try Ancelotti if possible, or Mourinho. Maybe Frank Rijkaard?

Maybe should? But me tinks dis 1 will get better response especially coming from Liverpool fans perspectives and their hope of what can liverpool do with or without Benitez.

Laughing You seem to not know your soccer very well. Improved legue standings, two champion's league finals (as compared to not qualifying regularly in the past). Your post is really funny.

I think with huge money going to spend for him. He is expected to bring title within these 2 yrs. At least next season ,he must at least finish 2nd to really prove improvement of liverpool.

There is a price to pay for asking huge transfer money to buy star player!

This next part made more sense, of course if the board gives you money, you are expected to do better. Not just by the board but by everyone else. Mourinho was so expected to deliver beyond a Carling Cup and FA Cup this season.

Still, like Båseline has said, no one can gurantee Cup or League success, but at least be able to challenge strongly for it.

I'm not sure what you see as improvement, but not every team can be like Chelsea within a season be dominating the domestic front and sweep two titles in a row.

Benitez can be like the next Wenger or Ferguson, but give him time to continue to build his team and establish his team and himself in EPL. Success is also about building for the long term.
