Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Boogs]

Can see it next year "average grant takes two clubs down and they both go bankrupt" .....
RIP LFC, thanks for the memories. I will still be sitting on the kop in years to come remembering the good times....

Maddock is the only one going with the sacked story.

hasn't Avram gone to Hammers?

Hammers site says:
The club should be in a position to confirm the 13th manager of West Ham United soon

Hopefully if Grant did takes over it won't be a repeat of this year - or maybe not feel I'm getting to the point where I don't care.

He's been appointed, just waiting for a work permit. Not sure why sky are linking him with us.

You posted the link, i'm catering for the 'too lazy to click' brigade

apparently henry winter has said something similar on his twitter account.

Shaggy's post really depressed me, but I note, not many pictures of the gaffer in a beard up there....

This is the last straw really. If some nutter took Hicks out, i certainly wouldnt be upset.

[spud_gun]

Still nothing on the BBC about it

The way people at the club have behaved towards Rafa over the past few months is damn appalling (if the rumors are true anyway). To treat him with so little respect after everything he's done for the club, his obvious love for the city and the way he's interacted with the fans is abysmal. If they wanted to sack him then they should have just sacked him, end of. None of this misinformation bollocks, feeding stories to the press like a bunch of snide little children on a playground. Its unpleasant, ungentlemanly and stinks of gutter antics.

Thanks for the memories Rafa. Best of luck to you wherever you end up.

this is ****, although rafa had his doubters and some of the decisions he made were strange i still feel he was looking out for the best interests of the club and us as fans.

not sure who to trust now with regards the new owners, purslow, boughton etc. not looking forward to next season with these cunts as owners.

Sacked according to the Mirror

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news...cle446441.html

that makes a mockery of the £3m offer story - if they sack him, he will take them to the cleaners.

And where is the £20m (plus all sales revenue) transfer fund coming from?

Either the press are just making up any old fantastic ****, or the owners have been holding back until they could get rid of him and now think the fans will be willing to accept it.

[Craig_H]

The lack of any comment on the offal, speaks volumes to me.

If this was baseless speculation, it's too big for the club to not respond to the rumours.

Any new manager will have job getting the fans on his side.
