Rafa gone

[Shane 2,275]

Sad day for English football. A true great. We will miss you Rafael Benitez

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

He still had yet to complete his work at Liverpool!

[Shane 2,275]

Really think if he was given another season Liverpool could be enjoying the likes of Scunthorpe and Leeds next year, Shame really.

This isn't confirmed totally yet.. Rafa has not agreed to the offer laid out..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8719210.stm

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has been offered a £3m severance deal to leave immediately, BBC Sport understands.

Note: Rafa can walk away with almost £16million as his contract is worth almost £5million a year on 4 year deal..

Should be interesting to see if he accepts and for how much.

[We Hate Scouse 10,287]

Rafa Benitez, we want you to stay!

[northernblue 2]

there is surely no way he can stay now - the rumours are he will accept £8million,

The question is: Who on earth will want to go there at the moment? The club is in a right mess!!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

NO! Liverpool will get a manager who knows what he's doing, sign some decent players and make them a force again.

I think you're forgetting that despite the recent trouble Liverpool have had, they're still one of the BIGGEST clubs in the world. I've said the same thing about Newcastle last season (yes I know they got relegated) but they're still a big club, recognised in nearly every part of the world.

Most managers would love the chance to go to Liverpool, think about who you'd be working with! Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Pepé Reina. All world class players

[Luke 60]

Hiddink perhaps?

Although I would LOVE Rafa to stay and fuck up LFC a little bit more than he already has lol.

SSN - Breaking News Liverpool confirm manager Rafa Benitez is leaving the club by mutual consent.

He was the right person there, shame

[Manuf 1,448]

They're not going to get anybody better...

[Rambo 1,729]

Liverpool should get Scolari

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I hope they don't try and poach Hiddink

[Laylabelle 9,395]

I hope they don't try and poach Hiddink

Yeh thats who they want..and he's managing a country right now though which I forgot...ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Nooo we wanted you to stay Rafa!!! Were doing a great job!

[Kez 2,727]

Shame Rafa didn't get to finish the job he started last season

[Ray. 217]

What next for Rafa I wonder, what about Inter now that Jose is with Real Madrid?

[Laylabelle 9,395]

Thank fuck we arent in need of a manager..

[Milan 17,862]
