Thanjk you.

I can't believe Mark Hughes has been mentioned in this thread as a potential replacement for Rafa (should he leave). I would top myself if that Manc ****house ever managed us.
Although he did play for ManUre, Chelski and Everton, he isn't the spawn of satan. He comes across as a modest, humble and decent bloke. I hope Rafa doesn't leave but if he did, we could do a lot worse than Mark Hughes.
JOSE 9/4 TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE
Sky Bet's Odds Compare All Prices
Following the revelation that Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks held talks with Jurgen Klinsmann, Paddy Power are betting on who will be Liverpool's next manager after Rafa Benitez.
Jose Mourinho dominates the early betting at 9/4 favourite ahead of Guus Hiddink, Marcelo Lippi and Phil Scolari all priced at 9/1.
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who has restored his reputation at Manchester City, follows on 12/1 with Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard. David Moyes is 25/1 to make the trip across Stanley Park from neighbours Everton.
Whilst Paddy Power make it a 1/2 chance that Benitez sees out the current campaign, the bookie takes the opposite view for the start of next season with Liverpool 8/13 to be Benitez-less for the first Premiership match.
Paddy Power said: "As with Martin Jol when Spurs were seen with Juande Ramos, knowledge that Liverpool's club owners are looking elsewhere makes Rafa a dead man walking.
"His position looks increasingly tenuous and unlikely to last long term as he is once again undermined by the owners. Perhaps it will require another Champions League trophy for him to still be at Anfield next season.
"Mourinho doesn't have the best of relationships with Liverpool fans but nevertheless his name has been mentioned almost as much as Klinsmann's during Rafa's problems with Hicks and Gillett."
