Just read an article where he has blasted Rafa. Now if this had been a successful manager I could probably accept it a little more. But what has that fat mother fucker won as a manager? I think the result last night just shows how fucking bollocks he is at being a manager.
Reds can't win league
Sam Allardyce claims Rafa Benitez cannot win the Premier League - and that the Spaniard is lucky to be in his job at Liverpool.
In an amazing attack, the Newcastle manager predicted the title would not go to Anfield this season as their "foreigner" boss still does not have the right "mentality".
Liverpool were knocked off the top of the table at the weekend when Benitez rested Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres for the game at Portsmouth ahead of tonight's Champions League visit to Porto. Allardyce admits the 2005 European champions have the best chance of the six British clubs. But he believes Liverpool's league finishes since Benitez arrived - fifth, third and third - would have got him the sack without his exploits in Europe.
"Rafa would be very lucky to be in a job if he hadn't got to two Champions League Finals, because they've had some very, very poor finishes in the Premier League," Allardyce told Zoo magazine.
"While they're a very good Champions League team, they're not a Premier League-winning side yet. They don't have the mentality to win that yet.
"Being a foreigner, Rafa doesn't understand it's supposed to be Premier League first and Champions League second."

Was going to post the same thing 
Who he thinks he is i don't know, what Mourinho would give for Liverpools European record or even Ferguson to win it 1 more time.

I like the way he says he'd be very lucky to be in a job if he hadn't got to those 2 finals, like it's a throwaway achievement
Come back to me when you've reached a final of anything other than a bung competition.

Not a chance it saved him his job.
Liverpool fans and board knew we couldnt compete with both Chelsea and United with the amount they could spend compared to us. So finishing third wasnt such a bad thing really - the points difference was a bad thing but a lot of that was due to getting to the CL final anyway.
Now if in 3yrs, after having the money to compete for the best players, he is still no closer - then he will be in trouble.

It's a stupid thing to say, you could say it for any manager that ever lived i.e. Mourinho is very lucky to be in a job if he hadn't won 2 Premierships. Fact is he did and he has a job.

Is Cosmo anything to do with the prize fund though? Becuase he doesn't have the best track record at handing stuff over.
