Useless Benitez's woeful transfer record!

Rafa has forced me to come out of my blogging hibernation after his constant rants about lack of investments taking the club down.
Everyone knows that Liverpool is in a financial pickle right now. As an ardent football fan, I sincerely hope that they recover from the current financial crises. English and European football needs a strong Liverpool team.
I also sincerely hope that Liverpool kick out Rafa Benitez, currently sharing the honors of worst manager in EPL with Phil Brown (in my books anyways). Being a huge Chelsea fan I should be happy if Rafa stays on (which would soon take Liverpool to Coca Cola Championship). But seriously, Benetiz just gets on my nerves. And his recent cribbing that the club is not doing well due to lack of investments is such a piece of bullshit. He is just trying to ride on the Liverpool's financial crises wave. The fact of the matter is Benitez's brainless transfers is one of the reasons why Liverpool are in such situation. Following are some facts about his transfer records (Benitez’s style :) ):

Fact: Benitez has spent an impressive £229m pounds in his Liverpool career so far and got in 76 players.
Fact: Out of those 76, 47 players bought were between £0-£5m. This means he has invested a huge amount of money on a large amount of mediocre players. You need big players to win big. Instead of spending 188m on such a huge number of mediocre players, he could have gone signed some big players who actually could have made a difference. Such big number of mediocre players has reduced Liverpool to a mediocre club.
Fact: Out of these 47 players, only 3 players (Insua, Arbeloa, Aurelio) were able to establish them in the first team.
Fact: Benitez has spent around £180m from 2006, almost equal to the "big-spending" Chelsea
(Don't forget that Chelsea was at inception of being a European Power house at that point and hence had to spend big. Liverpool was already established.)
Fact: From what I can tell, the only player he had to sell against his will is Alonso (for which he actually got a brilliant deal). So there was no real pressure on him to sell either.
Fact: Out of the 76 players that he has signed, only 5 players have really turned out to be stars (Torres, Mascherano, Alonso, Reina, Benayoun and Kuyt). Out of the remaining, more than 70% has been money down the drain.
Fact: He has signed a number of players who have been big flops at Liverpool but have been big hits before/after their Liverpool stint. Some of these include Crouch, Bellamy, Sissoko, Morientes, Keane.
Fact: Robbie Keane!! (Do I need to say more?)

I can go on and on but I guess you get the point. I have a feeling that Benitez is really afraid to bring in big name players. That's because if a big name player fails then manager ends up taking all the blame. So instead, he brings in a number of mediocre players so his mistakes won't be glorified. But as a European power, you just have to gamble on big players to stay in the race. ManU got their Berba move woefully wrong but they got their money more than worth in Rooney. For Chelsea, Sheva and SWP were disasters but Drog and Essien have been absolute superstars. You just have to gamble. I could have understood had Benitez been very wily in bringing in really good unknown players for low fees some of whom turned into superstars there by giving Liverpool huge profits (ala Steve Bruce), but that has not happened either. So essentially what has happened is that Benitez has spent a large amount of money, has not got a very few players who can actually make a difference, and has thereby turned Liverpool into a mediocre club.

And this was just what he has done off the field. If you add to that the numerous daft strategies he has implemented and the unbelievably brainless substitutions he has done on the pitch then that would make you realize how incapable he is of managing a big club. At this point all the Benitez lickers will throw the Champions League victory in my face. No doubt that Liverpool was outstanding in that campaign. But is it really worth having just one good tournament in 6 years, and that at a cost of suffering in the league, financial woes, unstable players, unhappy fans, disgruntled board etc. I don’t think so.
So for the sake of Liverpool Football Club, for the sake of Liverpool fans, for the sake of football in general, SACK BENITEZ!
