    Yes, would definitely take a highly successful and experienced coach like Rafa, but defo wouldn't happen because of wage demands and Rafa probably feels too big for Scotland

    I would prefer Howe, Benitez is far from infallible, just ask Newcastle fans. Howe wouldn't command the salary that Benitez would and still have to contend with the same finance available for transfers etc. Howe is up and coming, and has things to prove, wheres Benitez has got the T shirt.

    I would love him to come here but don’t think it will happen as he walked away from Newcastle due to the way the club was run , what would he make of the * that run CFC?

    “Apparently” Lawwell has briefed fans group. There will be a new manager....but wait for it
    It will not be in the calibre of Brendan Rodgers.

    TBH that’s what I would expect from him and the board.

    They just don’t get it! “Disconnected”

    Would I * Margot Robbie?

    Would I like some free money?

    Would I like a 9 inch dong?

    Yes, it’s fair to say I would consider Rafa Benitez an adequate step up on Lennon, and welcome him accordingly.

    What does that actually mean “the same calibre”
    A good professional manager or salary, so we are going to knock back someone who has the same calibre as Brendan Rodgers.
    Nonsense

    Cant see this happening, if it did they would need a healthy transfer budget.......out of the two mentioned in the media I'd have Howe before Rafa,......young, knows a budget and plays attacking football.....Rafa has pedigree but by the looks of it hes on the wane..

    I would welcome any change from what we've got now,doesn't need to be a 'big' name - it could be Jim Duffy for all I care,would be a big improvement on Lennon who has ran us into the * ground.

    He actually doesn’t give me the same excitement that Howe does believe it or not..

    I have a similar feeling about Howe that I did with Rodgers
