Today it feels like a part of something important has died, left.. for me Rafa has and did always put the club first, once again proven by his actions, in not taking the club to the cleaners. If as is being reported, he had lost the dressing room, then there really was no other option for a man of great love for our club, passion for the game and the hunger to make us successful.
Today he departs with the words ringing in my ears.. 'proud to be your manager'.. well 'proud you were our manager Mr Benitez', in this RED heart there will always be a heart beat, that beats thanks to your efforts.
6 years on from Istanbul - I am truly sad that it has come to this....
But sadder still is the plight of my red heart.. what will become of this great institution.. where are we goin and what will happen !
