Anyways, heres a round up of some of the rags for Monday..

Express. Owners lose faith in Rafa

Guardian :-Benitez on borrowed time

Telegraph : Rafael Benitez is told to shut up or face sack

[mersey86]

As for Jose being appointed, well if Rafa was sacked then he would be my choice.

He'd still be a smug, poncy, annoying piece of slime, but he'd then be "our smug, poncy, annoying piece of slime". I'd get used to it if he kept us winning. But I do not see any good coming of a split with Rafa.

At least if Jose does join us he would make it past the semis of the Champions League again , he'd probably jump at the chance to put one over Abramobitch too.

We finally get over our little blip, and Rafa gets us playing well again, back in the title race and looking like stringing a few wins together.

Then this ****. Again.

Sometimes i wonder if the club likes to intentionally shoot itself in the foot.

Every time we look like we're moving forward in leaps and bounds some ****e comes out in the press.

Im ****ing sick of it, and fwiw, i think both parties are being extremely ****ing childish to the detriment of the club.

Agreed

Agreed. I hope when G&H calm down and realize that the easiest way out of this crisis is not to take any further action. With Rafa at the helm they are assured of a steady stream of revenue through Champs league runs. There is no other manager in Europe who can give that guarantee.

Having a manager like Rafa at the helm is vital for them during the stadium building phase where money is going to be tight.

I am one of Rafa's biggest supporters and if goes or gets the sack I will be devastated. Having said that I feel Hicks and Gillett are well within their rights here. Rafa has been undermining them through the press and not for the 1st time. They have retaliated through our website and made clear their position.

Rafa needs to decide what he wants most now because it is now clear any further criticism of the owners in the press will not be tolerated.

Come on Rafa, head down and get it into it, please.

[AFII]

at Martin Jol.

If that fat sh!te manager comes anywhere near our club the Yanks better come to Anfield with an army of body guards, because they'll need it. Mourinho, Lippi, Capello and Hiddink are the only managers in world football I would want to be linked with us. The rest can f**k off.

The problem is that Jol is a yes man and it looks like at least Hicks want a yes man as our manager.

Bascombe on Talksport. Now.

Saying T&G don't want Rafa. The original plan was to change Rafa at the end of the season.

Bascombe seems pretty certain that Rafa is a goner.

Edit! Rafa defo wont be Liverpool manager next season according to Bascombe.

I don`t beleive Bascombe after he went to the Sunday S*N.And the yanks(Espiecially Gillette) will calm down and fix this in December.IMHO.

Ruddy hell

[Maestro]

He would probably take a few of our players with him, like Alonso, Mascherano and Reina

I disagree...many people here overestimate the relationship between Rafa and his players.

Indeed.

Obviously it goes without saying too, that players wanting to leave will all depend on who the new manager would be.

Bascombe will still have sources mate. I tend to believe him.

I firmly believe he sold out and his past sources would be wary of giving him any info knowing he`d put it in that rag.
