Surprise, surprise, Benitez backs Pellegrini

Rafa Benitez joined the managers union on TV tonight where he was clearly touting himself about!

With so many games available for him to comment on this weekend, he chose to make himself available for a match where Pellegrini is surely the next manager to go and the former Arsenal manager Unai Emery has gone.

Sean wrote this afternoon that it would cost around £23 million to to get him into West Ham and let’s be fair Steve Bruce is doing a far better job than he did at  Newcastle.

Now in China where the money is good and the football unimportant, he arrives in the Sky Studios and at the end of a terrible Hammers display decides to back the manager.

He said: “I think he has the experience to turn things round and should be given the chance to work with the players he brought in. I think he can do it.”

Of West Ham’s defeat he explained: “They made more and more mistakes defensively in the second half and that allowed Arsenal to take control.”

Yes and that is the fourth time in six games we have conceded three goals and are you really saying this guy will turn it around.

Maybe on that basis it isn’t worth spending £23 million to bring you to West Ham  mate!
