Rate YOUR manager: How has Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez done so far this year?

by offsidetrap on February 11th, 2009 30 comments

With more than half the season almost in the books, we here at COS thought it was best if we let the commentariat loose to grade the performance of their manager thus far. We tend to put a grading mark on the players every week, so why not let the manager get a grade as well!

Some managers will surely be receiving high marks for their early season success; while other might want to consider hiding their heads in the sand for the forseeable future. Let us know what you think of your managers success or failure by grading him with a score of 1-5 (1 = completely useless, 5 = world class).

by stresster on February 11th, 2009 3 comments

According to this source, Phil Scolari might have left Stamford Bridge earlier, had he been given the chance.
