Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Craig_H]

I really hopes he takes the deal and ****s off. Best wishes and thanks for Istanbul etc etc. The day Rafa leaves will be a day the club takes a step in the right direction. Then we'll just need to get rid of the owners and we'll be sorted.

I think most would agree that the better outcome would be if you were the one who '****ed off'.

I'm gutted about Rafa leaving - along with Pepe he has been the only person who has convinced me that there is something special still at Liverpool to support. The non-commital statements of Benayoun, Mascherano, Gerrard and Torres have been deeply disappointing, saddening and disillusioning. I think Rafa is a world class manager and we won't be getting another one of those anytime soon I don' think.

Added to that I just liked the man and had huge respect for him.

The way it has been handled and the complicity of so many of the media commentators has been despicable but is only to be expected from classless snakes like Purslow, Gillet and Hicks and a Chelsea fan like Broughton.

I think a lot of people who were on the fence or wanted Rafa to go have stated that but everyone is to some extent now seeing how difficult it would be to work with/for such poisonous ****wits.

I have nothing to add but

It's official

Liverpool FC today confirmed that Rafael Benitez is to leave the club by mutual consent.

Mr Benitez relinquishes his position as team manager after six years and the Board of Directors would like to place on record their grateful thanks for his services and wish him all the best in his future career.

The Board has now asked Managing Director Christian Purslow, with the assistance of Club Ambassador Kenny Dalglish, to begin a formal search to identify and assess potential candidates for the managerial position.

No timescale has been placed on the process and Liverpool FC will make no further statement until a new manager is appointed.

LFC Chairman Martin Broughton said: "Rafa will forever be part of Liverpool folklore after bringing home the Champions League following the epic final in Istanbul but after a disappointing season both parties felt a fresh start would be best for all concerned.''

Rafael Benitez said: "It is very sad for me to announce that I will no longer be manager of Liverpool FC. I would like to thank all of the staff and players for their efforts.

"I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

"Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

Broughton has a conflict of interest with Torres and Chelsea, surely.

Purslow doesn't though since he's supposed to be a Red but he's a complete barrel of ****e too.
