Players...back the manager...

[Red Chilli]

Maybe the players don't feel like backing the manager?

That is what i am afraid of.

If benitez does leave, then personally i think gerrard, riise, carra, finnan and xabi should all give their ****in cl medals to rafa and publically hand in transfer requests....(maybe riise should just hand in a request, given that he sold his medal!!!)

The best way the players can back the manager is by stuffing Porto tomorrow night. They don't have to say another single word! You'll be able to tell by their celebrations how much they back Rafa.

I think the players sent their message out from 12.45 to 14.30 on Saturday

My suspicion is that they all know the best thing is to say sod all. Remember how all the Chelsea players mad a song and dance when left and then weeks later had changed to being right behind Mourinho. As a player you have to knuckle down under whichever manager is there and you opinion is and to a large extent should be irrelevant to those at higher administrative levels at the club.

I thought we all wanted everyone to be dignified and not wash the clubs laundry in public anyway?

Saw a clip of the players training today and saw Stevie and Carra laughing with Rafa and them playing some game where they were all stood up and all sat down really quickly, which Momo lost at. They all looked in good spirits

[Elrond]

Where did you watch that ??

[fah-q]

It was on SSN earlier on when they were showing the earlier press conference.

I think it would be a complete disgrace if any LFC player handed in a transfer request because of a manager departing. They play for Liverpool football club, that's where their loyalties should always ultimately lie.

Yep.

It's not Rafael Benitez FC, it ****in Liverpool FC.

GET. A. GRIP.

oh good man....."it ****in Liverpool FC"

Inadvertantly, you are correct - it is ****ing Liverpool FC.

Liverpool FC is an institution - whereas these pricks are in danger of turning it into Mc-****in-donalds.......its not the institution that these players aspired to playing for.

[Chrono]

big time marty.... even the spanish players should come out and state something along the lines of "I have arrived at Liverpool to work with Rafael Benitez......thats the main reason"

Stevie G has often stated how he aspired to be a Roy Keane type player, well then he has to not only play well in the majority of games, but also be a man of his principles. He should come out and give rafa 100% support...

This isn't ****ing dancing with the stars. Vote out your least favourite owners of the club and replace them with fictional ones. Lets band together all our players and get them to bad mouth their employers based on a load of hysterical fan bollocks, great idea. I don't remember Keane being the middle man between management and the club owners.
