Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Tatterdemalion]

I've no doubt this is Purslow's work, not Hicks.
If it's true of course. And if it is true, it represents the lowest position I can remember the club being in ever (since early 1980s).

I mean I was shocked that the club actually sacked Houllier. This is incredible.

My logic is that the team will completely collapse (even worse than this season) if they're led by an unwanted manager who's considered a "dead man walking".

Yep, you just cant work under those sort of conditions. And this smacks of trying to get rid of him by publically humiliating him.

I think they've just had enough of Rafa fighting his corner. They want a nodding dog, a yes man who'll just be happy with the prestige of being Liverpool manager and just quietly do as well as he can in the circumstances, rather than a bloke who cares about the club so much he's prepared to fight tooth and nail, to get himself into all sorts of scraps, to ensure we're being run the right way, in a way that makes us competitive.

Klinsmann. FFS.

We're truly ****ed, I can't see us out of this **** for a long time. Broughton seems to be a PR exercise trying to diffuse the attention of the banks for a certain amount of time. They're buying time, the cunts, whilst the club is being siphoned and bled dry.

I can't stand MON, big step backwards.

Eh? Are you having one of those hissy fits?

MON is the anti-thesis of being a yes man, so I would dismiss this information straight away.

I agree. I think the only hope of keeping our three best players is if we can get a manager in who can bring in some positivity that does not exist around Anfield.

Benitez is a dead man walking. I really believe he has lost most of the players, and once that happens, its pretty much impossible for the manager to save himself. And until he goes, the players wont perform as they can. As bad as that sounds, its the way it is when the manager has lost the dressing room.

The club is in the hands of toe rags ! Owned and run by toe rags.

I hate football.

MON will replace Rafa, I'll put my house on it.

Maybe senior players have let Purslow know that they have had enough of Rafa?

12 month rolling contracts suit us right now.

Either him or The King are my guesses.

Kenny was a Rafa appointment, there's no way he's going to accept taking his place. He'll probably go as a form of protest.

[Helios Creed]

£3m doesn't seem enough does it? I suppose it's one year's salary, but I think Rafa would be after a lot more than that..

Or maybe the scumbags running the club don't like someone who challenges their false promises?
