Rafa Benitez Leaves Liverpool

[Paul12]

I am a huge fan of Rafa but...

he has always made mistakes that were obvious than most other manager's mistakes and this year he has simply made too many of those mistakes. This, plus the fact that he is clearly no longer able to motivate certain of the players has in my view been a bigger cause of this season's failures than injuries or a lack of spending power. So he had to go.

However, G & H must also go; we also need, as various players have said, 4 or 5 top class additions to the team; and we need to re-discover our reputation for doing things the 'proper way'.

I would have thought that the change in manager and in owners were the first things to sort out, and that is what Broughton is trying to do. He will know whether G&H will really release enough money to sort the squad out. If they will, he will go for - and be able to get - a top rate manager. Otherwise, he will know he has to go with an interim manager until the sale is completed and more money is available. He will also know that that means probably losing Gerrard, Torres and Mascherano. He will know the effect that that will have on the value of G&H's shares - I would have thought the effect would be hugely negative - and G&H will be factoring that into their decisions about (a) when to sell (ie wjhat price to accept) and (b) how much this summers' transfer kitty should be.

So I am sort of optimistic that this is the beginning of the end. So happy, but also very sad about Rafa who I think has fought long and hard for what the supporters want.

''Hope your walk is a dark lonely one.'' Knockers? We need to MAKE their walks like that!!! We NEED to give them HELL wherever they are. We need to HARRASS, ATTACK, ASSAULT, BOMBARD, EMAIL, INCONVENIENCE, QUESTION, BOYCOTT, HURT, DAMAGE, HOUND and generally DRIVE CRAZY H & G WHEREVER They are.

Go after them with EVERYTHING. Have NO scruples - DESTROY their reputation in the UK and US media to ruin their hopes of further business, RUIN their sponsors/Business partners and Investors relations with them with threats of withdrawn business, harrassment and general nuisance behaviour UNTIL they drop them, ATTACK in public/on air and at EVERY opportunity H & G, QUESTION them and ALL their lackeys EVERY time you can!!, DRIVE them out of Liverpool PHYSICALLY if they're ever stupid enough to come here again!! And if they're NOT? Go to their Home towns via our US fans and PICKET their homes, Billboard them in Texas (and whichever state Gillette is in) towns AND papers AND adverts to damage/infuriate them Further, conduct CONSTANT character assassinations of them in the UK AND US media as THEY did Rafa', THREATEN them physically AND their families if you have to (THEY don't know if you mean it or not do they? And Surely by now SOMEONE is ready to take aim at that Fat Texan B*stard and remove him permanently from us?), SABOTAGE their press conferences with LFC fans ALL the time so their 'picked' stooges don't GET to ask them comfortable questions without CONSTANT questions and attacks on them re Liverpool, BOMBARD their Email boxes to BREAKING point at ALL their companies WHENEVER possible, BOYCOTT EVERYTHING to do with the Club now and PICKET it on Matchdays/to Prevent Ticket Sales UNTIL they start to hemorrhage money HEAVILY - Most of all - INVADE the Pitch, WRECK Televised games in the new season, DESTROY the Premiership Schedule if you have to. And DON'T leave RBS OR our Ministers OR the Premier League itself out either - Go after ALL of them UNTIL the rules are changed to throw out H & G (PL), UNTIL the pathetic little 'drip, drip' of Refinance Loans to them is STOPPED Permanently (RBS) and UNTIL RBS FORCE a sale to the best bidder for the Club IMMEDIATELY (Ministers AND RBS). Go after EVERYONE - Make such a HUGE noise that they CAN'T ignore us in the end!!!

Mark my words though, it's GOING to take THAT level of commitment and attacks on them - Repeated MANY times over to FINALLY drive them out for GOOD. Do you and the rest of our fans SEE what we're up against now? Do you all have the BALLS to do what's necessary as what I've outlined above or SOMETHING like it is the ONLY thing that WILL get rid of them for SURE - We're at WAR people - And in War? ANYTHING goes........................

Stress doesn't normally make you fat, good living does.

I do feel sorry for him.

I'm pretty sure stress can lead to weight gain. If you've busy working too hard and not looking after yourself then you're gonna go one of two ways, lose weight or gain weight.

[Imy]

i think in time we'll see Martin Broughton as a hero.

or he could be our Peter Ridsdale

[Reece]

he has always made mistakes that were obvious than most other manager's mistakes and this year he has simply made too many of those mistakes. This, plus the fact that he is clearly no longer able to motivate certain of the players has in my view been a bigger cause of this season's failures than injuries or a lack of spending power. So he had to go.

Surely you pay more attention to what he is doing than what any other manager does though, so I'm not sure how you can confidently make that statement really.

Bloody hell

couldnt come quick enough mate, getting rid of those two scumbags is priority, they can take that ****er Purslow with them on their way out....all of them have made a disgrace of our club, we used to be able to hold our heads high, now we are at a all time low...

[Neil Young]

In other words, it's b*ll*cks.

Say what you mean, Reecie.

I was trying to be diplomatic

Dark days at Anfield at the moment but let's remember who we are, what we stand for

When you walk through a storm
Hold your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark.

Walk on, through the wind,
Walk on, through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

[Fernandinho]

i appreciate your passion, but mate i think we have to look at it in context. times have changed, you cant storm the pitch during a game like you used to be able to, once upon a time, the emails and all that will work but the billboards and advertisement as well as business dealings are things we simply cannot achieve with ease, we should put our minds to acheivable things we as fans can do

[Gerrard]

so so sad for the way this has played out - Rafa deserved so much more than this

One thought, if Kenny and Rushie are brought in and these cunts running the club **** with them like they have with Rafa, i'd genuinely fear for their safety.

Rafa is loved by the fans but not nearly in the same league as the King and Rushie, all hell would break loose if G & H tried to humiliate these 2 like this

Oh well **** em - the cunts

[Redshadow]

Why Bloody Hell Reece? I Meant it. These two have NO scruples whatsoever - they NEVER play by the rules and never Have done since the day they got here. Their public utterances of no debt on the club along with saying they WOULD give David Moores private assurances to that end and then Tom Hicks coming out and flatly denying it recently along with Hicks stating his tenure has been 'Good (!!!)' for the club should have told you THAT. The Only way to get rid of fcukers like that is to go hardcore on them and wage Real Guerilla Warfare on them - They will ONLY succumb to repeated and Heavy attacks Not ones that look like they'll get serious and then inexplicably stop ala the Villa Protests and a few more in early 2008. We need to go after them again now and this time? We need to be out for blood. THEIR blood meaning nothing less than their COMPLETE removal from our club For Good.............

He will know the effect that that will have on the value of G&H's shares - I would have thought the effect would be hugely negative - and G&H will be factoring that into their decisions about (a) when to sell (ie wjhat price to accept) and (b) how much this summers' transfer kitty should be.

So I am sort of optimistic that this is the beginning of the end. So happy, but also very sad about Rafa who I think has fought long and hard for what the supporters want.

I think Rafa's biggest mistake was tarting himself around Europe. He had clearly also lost the players.

[kingfunk]

Why doesn't the the club man the **** up and let the fans know what is happening?
