Liverpool fans turn ire on managing director in demonstration at Rafael Benitez's exit

Liverpool supporters turned their ire on the club’s managing director Christian Purslow on Thursday night as more than 500 demonstrated at Anfield, calling for his dismissal and burning American flags, a direct message to his employers Tom Hicks and George Gillett.

The spontaneous demonstration, organised through internet forums, Facebook and Twitter in the aftermath of reports on Wednesday that manager Rafael Benitez was close to leaving the club “by mutual consent,” began outside the Kop at 6pm!

Organisers insisted the aim of the protest was not to safeguard Benitez’s job, but to indicate to Hicks and Gillett, who have laden Liverpool with £351 million of debt, that no decision of theirs as the club’s owners will be welcomed!

Paul Rice, of the supporters’ group Spirit of Shankly, said: “This is another example of how this club has become the biggest farce in town. In a sense, Benitez is just collateral damage. When you look at Liverpool in a general manner, who will want to take the club on?”

The roles of both Purslow and chairman Martin Broughton in the dismissal of Benitez has concerned Liverpool fans!

Both men were ostensibly brought in to secure investment in the club, but Purslow remains in situ almost a year on, while Broughton’s initial remit was a non-executive one, and he has made it clear he is not involved in the day-to-day running of the club, yet it was his name which appeared on the statement which confirmed the Spaniard’s departure!

too many exclamation points to actually be journalism

Was a decent turn out, about 800-900. The protest wasn't organised by SOS, and the flag burning, so ****ing what, people are absolutely sick to death of the cunts repeated arse raping our club. Who gives a **** people 3000 miles away are going to be upset, they should be used to the flag burning by now.

LFC is too big for H&G and when the day comes and they **** off. if we are in the prem or league 1 my love will still be as strong!

I'm inclined to agree - at the moment my hunger has gone, but once H&G have too, then it will return, whatever league we are in.

I switched off for a couple of years post Hillsborough/Heysel, it seemed like the beautiful game had lost its beauty.

i'm not biting. the flag in question isn't even the issue. it's just poor form.

I agree, i'm not one for patriotic displays but burning a US flag doesn't seem appropriate.

They are greedy cunts regardless of where they come from, national identity is as irrelevant as their starsign.

Damn. Just trying to give the **** pot a stir, as you do in these tense and emotional times

I agree that it was poor form by the person in question, no doubt his heart was in the right place, it's a shame his brain wasn't quite up to speed given the reaction this will no doubtingly receive from the press both here and over the pond.

Sorry mate, I understand the anger and emotion, but you can't attack several hundreds of millions of people because of the actions of two. If it was any other country's flag, it wouldn't have been done. I can't imagine us burning Icelandic flags for example? And with many/most flags it would have been totally unacceptable as it would have looked like xenophobia, bigotism or racism.

The US seems an acceptable target for some reason, but don't forget if Gilette came back in, we'd all look like Scouser-hating Scum fans suddenly cheering Rooney. We may even be putting him off, if he's thinking of putting in an offer. I assume he is still one of the ones we wish had bought us?
