Pellegrini would be f'n awesome! but Liverpool's problem isn't really the coach is it? So in some ways I'm not excited about this like I normally would be. :/
I mean a lot of people don't like Rafa and I certainly don't agree with many of the things he did but I didn't really think, Benitez was the problem. If anything he moved the club forward since taking over but could've done even better and does deserve the blame for much of last season imo.
I think Inter should've gone for Pellegrini. A straight swap between Jose and Manuel. Then I could see them winning CL even again back-to-back which would prove there's a lot more to Inter and why they're successful than Mourinho (who was also a big factor and of course deserves his credit)
Anyhow, Manuel would be fantastic. I would want him at my club for sure and yeah of course Madrid are idiots for getting rid of him but what else is new... and with them having set their sight on Jose and him wanting to go there, it was inevitable despite the amazing La Liga season they just had.
@UJ, Pellegrini deserves a LOT of credit and I'm one of his biggest fans but that Villarreal side was by no means an 'average' side. It was full of very good under-rated players with much ability yet not that much reputation, and some even had huge reputations like Sorin, Riquelme, Forlan, etc.
