Liverpool F.c.

Benitez was the poison in the chalice.
His incompetent man-management skills are largely to blame; they led to Alonso going, and it was basically downhill all the way from there. Coupled with his rubbish signings, and his inability to get the best out of many of the players, these Benitez-only issues have put you in this position, not the owners.

You really dont like Liverpool , do you?

Au contraire. Right now they're my favourite team. I DID however hate that incompetent idiot, so I may be able to get back to passive acceptance (and even sympathy) for them next season.

If they appoint King Kev, as some are advocating, that would just be wonderful wouldn't it - except for the club, of course.

Very good article by Alan Hansen in the Telegraph:

Alan Hansen: the time was right for Rafael Benítez to leave Liverpool

Forget the squabbling owners, the failure to build a new stadium and injuries to key players. Rafael Benítez only needs to look at the squad he is leaving behind to realise why his time is up at Liverpool.

Hi StevieH
Sh!t place to be in isnt it? Do you have reliable sources that there will be only big name sales this summer?

Something just does not seems right here, unless H&G pi$$ed Rafa off so he would not, could not stand in the way of any sales...just a thought.

i've never been more disillusioned with football mate, thank christ there's a world cup to distract from it a little. one of my best mates at home is close mates with a couple of the players so i do hear the odd thing yeah. don't know what the upshot was which definitively made him go now, but i do know that our two star boys are thinking very much about moving this summer.

very good article if you're an evertonian and not overly bright perhaps.

forgetting the owners, the lack of stadium and the lies which went with it and the injuries is a bit like writing an article about the credit crunch and forgetting the banks, the mortgage lenders and the greedy investment brokers. i.e. pointless and total waste of time. hansen's become a cliched wally these days. and i used to love the man.

I think to be fair, supporters of every club up and down the leagues all have their own respective expectations (some high, some low), based on recent history. Falling below these expectations (no matter whether high or whether low) is bound to cause grumblings amongst them.

A West Ham supporter might feel the Liverpool supporters have no right to complain about finishing mid-table as "it's not their god given right to finish in the top four", just as a Charlton supporter might feel the West Ham supporters have no right to complain about being relegated as "it's not their god given right to stay up".

It's all relative. It's all human nature.

Fantastic response judging by Liverpools following last season it didnt take long for them to show theyve no staying power, 10 years of midtable obscurity theyll be averaging crowds of 30,000.

God bless Americans and their leveraged buyouts.

Rafa Benitez leaves Liverpool as a legend so could critics please stop rewriting history?

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/co...icle448527.html

Right to the end the professional pundits failed to understand why so many Liverpudlians stayed loyal to Rafa Benitez.

As 500 fans marched on Anfield after his departure, chanting the Spaniard’s name, heads shook at a footballing sub-species bracketed somewhere between romantic die-hards and mawkish morons.

To the “expert” eye, these deluded fools had been conned by Benitez’s cunning and blinded to his failings by the glory of Istanbul and the criminal incompetence of the American owners.

Liverpool fans they said, once among the most knowledgeable in the world, had clearly lost touch with the modern reality, and were now a sad throwback to the days when sideburned men kicked orange balls.

Well, I’d argue one of the saddest aspects of modern football is too many pundits, including ex-players, have not paid to watch a game since those orange ball days. And they’ve lost touch with the fan.

I’m not saying Benitez had to stay. The results and the football last year were shocking, he’s been a major player in Anfield’s destructive civil war, and the number of fans disillusioned with his style and methods was growing.

But to paint his six-year reign as an unmitigated disaster, sustained only by the over-sentimentalising of Istanbul, is analysis at its most skewed and cringeful. By 2004 Liverpool had been relegated to the status of European also-rans. Benitez made the club a genuine world force again.

It wasn’t just that 2005 Champions League win (which is shamelessly downplayed as a fluke despite beating Fabio Capello’s Juventus, Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti’s AC Milan). Or reaching the 2007 Champions League final and the 2008 semi-final. It wasn’t even UEFA elevating Liverpool to Europe’s top-seeded club due to results under Benitez.

It was beating Real Madrid and Inter Milan at the Bernabeu and San Siro (which the Reds had never before done) and Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Magical victories at the very top of world football, which restored long-overdue respect to Liverpudlian hearts.

Ah say the experts, but he didn’t win the league. True. But he got closer than any Liverpool boss in the past 20 years. A season ago he was a whisker away, taking the highest number of points by a runner-up in a 38-game season and the club’s best points haul since 1988.

And he did so despite having the 5th highest wage bill in the league, the 5th costliest squad, the 5th biggest stadium capacity and a net annual transfer spend of £15million. Which should have made experts ask why Liverpool were ever considered a nailed-on top four side under Benitez, especially when the boardroom was mired in anarchy.

Ah, they say, but he’d long lost the players and the board. So why have Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Daniel Agger, Dirk Kuyt and Pepe Reina signed new long-term contracts within the past year? Why last August did managing director Christian Purslow do interviews purring over Benitez and how he was integral to the club’s future?

Ah, the experts say, but that was before he let Xabi Alonso go, which everyone could see was a calamity. These would be the same experts who, for the previous couple of seasons, claimed Liverpool were a two-man team. With Alonso (on whom Benitez turned a £20million profit) never being mentioned as one of those two.

Ah, they say, but Torres apart, he only signed sub-standard dross and ended up with a shockingly-weak squad. Really?

Liverpool are sending 12 players (13 if you count Milan Jovanovic whose Bosman signing is going through) to the World Cup. Or an entire team: Reina, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Johnson, Babel, Gerrard, Mascherano, Rodriguez, Kuyt, Torres. Subs: Kyrgiakos, Jovanovic.

Eleven Chelsea players flew out to South Africa, the same number as Arsenal, and Manchester United sent eight. Does that look like he’s left Anfield bare of talent?

The truth is Benitez leaves a squad worth many times more than the one he inherited, despite spending less in the past three transfer windows than he’s brought in.

I don’t seek to rewrite history or airbrush Benitez’s failings. I saw last year’s football and it stank. I felt the growing anger among players and fans at his bloody-mindedness and knew something had to give.

Which is why it may be best for all concerned that he walks on. But now he has, let’s do him the honour of getting his legacy right.

Rafa Benitez was many things at Liverpool but unlike every manager since Kenny Dalglish, he was not a failure. Indeed a majority of Liverpudlians will remember him as a legend.

Because like Bill Shankly, on more days and nights than those expert pundits ever care to recall, he made the people happy.

Reds fan Sven wants Anfield job

Eriksson keen to replace Benitez in Liverpool hotseatSven-Goran Eriksson has revealed his desire to manage Liverpool after confirming he is a life-long supporter of the Anfield outfit.

The former England and Manchester City manager, who is currently in charge of the Ivory Coast at the World Cup, has thrown his hat into the ring to replace Rafa Benitez.

Eriksson has admitted he was stunned when the Spaniard left Anfield on Thursday with a £6million compensation package after six years at the helm.

And the Swede hopes to be in contention to take over at Liverpool once his short stint in charge of the Ivory Coast comes to an end in South Africa.

Eriksson told The Sun: "I have been a Liverpool fan all of my life. I never mentioned it when I was in charge of England because I didn't think it was fair.

"I was shocked when I discovered Rafa Benitez had left. Would I want to be the manager of Liverpool? It is every manager's dream to manage Liverpool."

Eriksson has told how he used to watch Liverpool games on TV at home in Sweden and how he also visited Anfield when he was learning his way as a coach.

Special place

"My father was also a Liverpool supporter and every Saturday we would watch an English match on television. It was the highlight of the week.

"Liverpool matches were televised quite regularly and we would cheer them on. They have always been my team and nothing has changed.

"When I was starting out in coaching I was invited to Liverpool to see how they did things. Joe Fagan was the manager at the time.

"I remember him showing me around Anfield and taking me into their legendary boot room.

"It was such a privilege and an honour for me to be invited in there. I will never forget that moment.

"Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart."

How will they pay his signing on fee never mind the rest? Hardly a cheap option...

</div>

From the sale of there best three players <img src="http://static.thaivisa.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Got to be looking at 70 million minimum

</div>

more like £100m. of which the next manager will see little or nothing due to it going to RBS.

Tried the fast reply - that didnt work. Anyways, new manager needs to guarantee any player sales the monies can be used for future investment.

Torres, Gerrard, and Macho for 100 million

Buy: Dzecko, Milner, Carroll, Ireland, Richards and some hair implants for Pepe.
