The owner are smart. They won't hire a complete control freak and a failure who contributed to our almost going bust due to his ego and dreadful record in the TW. He hasn't won a league title since 2004 and all he has won are Cups. We need to win the PL and not another trophy we have won many times over. He ain't coming back and should stay away from our club.

First of all you have no clue what you are talking about. It is even ridiculous to believe a manager single handedly almost made the club go bust.
The previous owners bought a club with a huge debt that they never could have paid. Then they wanted to make another debt to repay the already huge debt.
Benitez was a manager who wanted to win titles. It wasn't his mismanagement that destroyed the club. They picked the wrong owners and Rafa was at the right place at the wrong time.

If you cannot read, I will help you, Pirate. I used the word "contributed" hence, how is that a simile for the word "singlehanded"? The debt you speak of was also due IN PART, to his dreadful spending record and ballooning of the wage bill under his watch. He was a control freak and a failure in the PL because he had the PL in his grasp and threw it away due to his arrogance and allowing Fergie to get into his head, just like BR's arrogance led to us losing the PL last year. And even the Ed01 has confirmed this so if you want him back, you'll be disappointed because if they tried bringing back a legend in KK and that blew up in their faces so that mistake isn't happening again. Get it? Good!

In order to make a club win titles you need to spend, something we couldn't do previously. We didn't have the luxury because we were buying players on debt. Benitez contributed but not in the degree you believe he did. The biggest problem were the owners. They were the wrong owners even before they bought us.
I'm not going to discuss it anymore because you simply can't face the truth and you have no clue about it. One team wins the league ONE, not two or three. You keep on asking for every managers head you will never win the league. Benitez in the mean time won you the CL with an average team, several cups and was constantly the powerhouse in Europe. This in just 5-6 years. Without the financial power of the top clubs around the world.
And one last time KK and Benitez are not the same stop comparing uneven situations.
