Thanjk you.

I really, genuinely want the guy to do well at the club but I haven't been convinced this season.
Some of his decisions have been very strange to say the least.
He seems very stubborn in his squad choice and I don't feel he gets gets the most/best out of the players we have.
I've just watched the memorial service and while I know it's easy to be clouded by sentimentality and other stuff, I can almost guarantee if Rafa leaves, whoever replaces him would not embrace the whole LFC shebang as Rafa does. He is perfect for us. He is respectful, dignified and is pure Liverpool FC. He sang along with hymns, with YNWA, while certain other players did not. Each to their own, but I admire the way Rafa has embraced this club and the Liverpool way.

Quoted for truth.
We've seen some pretty ****ing good football under this man, as well as the ****. But all said and done, I've never felt he was anything other than hard and fair. It speaks volumes that the only people in the know who have spoken out against him no longer work in the club or soon through the door.
If anyone ever wants to work in football, I can't think of a better place to work. He knows that I'm sure. It's a place for heroes, if you have the mettle.

Absolutely spot on.
No-one can deny that he's improved our club massively since he took over. We played in two European cup finals FFS and nearly won the league last year, the closest we've been in donkeys, if it wasn't for the yanks pulling the rug from under his feet i'm convinced we'd be in a much better current position under him.
Granted he's made his fair share of mistakes this year, which he acknowledges, but no-one could have foreseen our hideous injury crisis at the beginning of the season involving key players along with a dip in form for many. Our lack of investment in the playing staff over the last 18 months and players leaving who werent replaced cruelly exposed the lack of depth in the squad.
After all Rafa has done for us, and no matter what happens on the ownership front this summer, he deserves at least another season with us. I truly believe that if another manager came in it could send us into a serious downward spiral.

Italian giants Juventus will seek to tempt Liverpool's under-pressure manager Rafael Benitez with a deal worth £16m over four years plus a spending kitty of £70m.
I am laughing at some on here who 'question' his decisions and don't have a ****ing clue what it is to be managing a club this size. Armchair fans, FFS. Liverpool is a way of life as well as a football club, a philosophy of sticking together at all times. The attitude I see in here from some posters is just the anti-thesis of what it's about being a Liverpool supporter. It's much more than success on the pitch. If you haven't understood that then you probably never will.

Weird so many people making a 180 because of a memorial service, it still brings rafa no closer to getting us where we need to be. I have all the sympathy for the guy, genuinly a nice bloke but I have no faith left in him to take us forward from here on - there is even a good chance we won't be in europe at all next season

Hardly a disaster. It will give us time to regroup and we won't have the distraction of playing in a major competition. Our squad seems to be too weak for that, unless some players can step up to the plate.
