Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Armchairkopite]

just heard; Rafa sacked

Have I misjudged the mood?

Some disgree, but this would be my guess.

I am not convinced...as that would mean a devaluation of the club as an asset.
I am leaning in the direction of this being something coming from a new owner.

But then again, it could also just be Rafa having lost "the dressing room", and the board then acting upon that.

Purslow has got his greasy paws on this one for sure. Can't stand him.

Rafa's agent just said they know nothing more than is being reported. Rafa is a gonna boys!

[Needles]

Just announced on Sky Sports that Rafa's agent doesn't know anything about this and won't comment any further. Read into that what you will.

Today, I am ashamed to be a Liverpool supporter. Absolutely disgraceful.

If rafa's agent doesnt know anything about it, then it couldnt be true, could it?

The club cant have:

a) sacked rafa without him (his agent) being told
b) offered him a payoff without him (his agent) knowing

Shanks, paisley and co will be turning in their graves! LFC as we knew and loved is now dead after being in a coma since january 2007!

It will be interesting to see how quickly his replacement is appointed.

If you were in Rafa's position and you had to put up with all the s**t he has had to put up with, would you want to stay at Liverpool?

Sounds like the ****s are trying everything to force him to quit.

Probably September 1st.

I think it's got more to do with Rafa's comments about false expectations.

He didn't mean the fans, he meant the owners and executives of the club.

That probably means that this comes from the club, dirty laundry in public agent no. 1 - purslow

My first post...

Incredible news (if true) and another embarassing day to support the club.

We operate with no class whatsoever these days it seems...

****ing hell this is a ****ing disaster! As much as Rafa frustrated me NOW is not the time to get rid of him! The club is in a shambles and he is the best man for the job under of current owners and current situation!
