We'll have to see. I'm sure he'll want top wages, the point is that I'm sure they wouldn't be prohibitive, no more than one of our top-earning players max, and I suspect considerably less than that.
As for the length of contract, one year rolling is pretty standard in Europe. I'm sure he's keen to re-polish his reputation, but he'll also be cognizant that he isn't getting any younger, and of the concerns we might have in that regards, so I suspect he'd back himself to show what he's worth if given the chance. Ours is a plum job, in a league he wants to prove himself in and has stated he'd be keen to manage in. If Capello's the choice (and that's a big 'if', I accept), then I honestly don't think cost or length of contract will be an issue.
As someone whose views I listen to (not always so don't get big headed ) what are your views on Benitez?
