You scousers really do believe your own BS.
The Fat Waiter is probably given slightly more respect than he deserves for what he brought to Liverpool (and while I dislike him and hate LFC, I do respect his achievements) but it's not like respect from LFC fans is worth 5 times respect from fans of other clubs.
The fact is that even though Benitez took an average LFC to CL glory those achievements have been greatly diminished to everyone because he screwed things up at LFC and was a train wreck at Inter. Right now he's jobless and clearly undesired.
Steven Gerrard is loved by LFC fans. But if he looks like he's going to transfer somewhere you don't like and you pee your pants and burn his shirt.
Fernando Torres was the greatest striker in the history of football. His achievement of getting the most goals by a foreigner in their first season in the PL was exalted to almost title winning status. But he rightly leaves to actually see what winning things is like and suddenly he's a washed up pile of cack and never that good in the first place.
So why exactly is the almost impossible task of getting LFC to the top with an average budget going to appeal to the finest managers? What you want from a manager will be achievable only by a handful of the best managers around right now. They'll be courted by the biggest, most powerful clubs, paid massively and have a clearly easier task on their hands than managing you.
