Benitez has given us continued qualification for the Champions League, that competition alone gives us sooo much income....not just from UEFA but from the people abraod who want to watch us play against the top teams in Europe.

as for dodgy transfers, i can name just as many of houlliers ( Diouf,Diao,Cheyrou,Diomede etc etc)

We may have finished second one season, but from memory we weren't even close to winning the league.

Regardless of all that, the question remains who will replace him?
