Did he absolutely ruin Liverpool? Not sure they were that much better when he took over, a bit yes but he did win them the CL (and runners up) and the FA Cup. I think a Liverpool fan would say it was Hicks & Gillet who ruined them. Benitez's time ha djust run out I think.
But in answer to the original question, we've only had 4 managers in 17 years so yes.

You are right. However, a Liverpool fan will always blame someone else as its Scouse mentality that nothing is ever their own fault. The problem with Liverpool has not been the managers or even directors, but their supporters and you can see this with all the empty Anfield seats these days. They are obsessed with and jealous of the continuing success at Manchester United, who have dominated British football for the past 20 years on similar financial resources/backers.
From an Alty perspective, we do not have the money to be hiring and firing managers at will. I am envious of the likes of Fleetwood, AFC Wimbledon, Wigan and Stevenage and I have always wanted to see Altrincham as a Football League Club. On the other hand, I would not want to risk going the same way as Maidstone, Scarborough, Vics and soon to follow these will be Macc.

There is some truth in this.
