Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Broner]

Are they playing for Liverpool or Rafa Benitez? After a season when Gerrard's body language has hinted of discord with the manager on more than a few occasions, if he leaves now them **** him.

Exactly. He's got what he's wanted so he can ****ing stay put.

[CJ]

Redknapp can **** off too.

YNWA Rafa. Forever a LFC legend. Wherever you go, I hope you win the Champions League next season.

It's not his job to make the decision.

In fact, nothing is his job other than to find a buyer - that's the whole point he was brought in for.

A job he ain't doing to well it seems.

Tony Barrett said RBS are " becoming increasingly frustrated at how the sales process is going."

The Four Horsemen of LFC's Apocalypse claim another victim.

Gillett - Famine.
Hicks - Death.
Purslow - War.
Broughton - Pestilence.

A curse on all your houses.

John Barnes and Jason McAteer

haha. could you imagine:

"After 10 straight losses John Barnes has decided to leave Liverpool Football Club with immediate effect and Jason McAteer will now take sole charge."

[SimonNo7]

The rumours doing the rounds is that the club want a short term manager until new owners come in (whenever that might be)

I cant see anyoe even half decent coming on those terms

What a complete and utter amateur way of running things.

If you are thinking that way then keep the existing manager in place and let the new owners make the decision over the managers position!!!

To think how close he came to turning all our dreams to reality. 4 ****ing points. That's all it was.

If they leave I don't think it is directly a result of Rafa going. The things are correlated though - all top players and managers want to compete for top honours and that requires investment in the squad. No investment in the squad then no top players or managers will want to hang around.

I'm genuinely really upset by this. Whatever the rights or wrongs of his management methods, he was a gentleman, a classy man and one of us.

He didnt deserve it to be like this and he didnt deserve to be shoved out without having had proper backing.

YNWA Rafa, i hope you go elsewhere and clean up on trophies.

[Rich]

Non-executive chairman. His remit was to sell the club, nothing else.

I agree - I'd say he should be the mouthpiece to deliver the news but sure as hell shouldn't have been involved in the decision. Sickening.

[ashey]

Gutted. Too much swirling around my head to make a coherent post on how I feel.
Thank you Rafa. YNWA.

John Barnes and Jason McAteer

That's just not even remotely funny...





























Ok it is a little bit.

[Imy]

I never really made up my mind if I wanted him to go or not following our appalling season but now it has happened I cannot help but feel truly gutted.

Thats exactly my feeling, the man loved us - he was drawn a poor set of cards by the owners (Both G&H and Moores).

[Dirk07]

I'm sure Dalglish will be the manager, he understands that Liverpool fc need to keep going

I'm sure he would be tempted to say though:

i'm off as well
get out of our club
your not welcome here
