I believe his agent planted the story not just this season its happened a few seasons now, just to get Rafa a bigger deal and himself some more cash.

I think G & H got wind of this and thats why they had other managers in mind.

But under no circumstances do you give an interview with the local papaer the Liverpool Echo and say yer Jurgen came round for dinner on thanx giving 

Madness.

Of course Rafa will be looking for another job if he hasnt already agreed to one, the vultures will be circling our players as we speak.

I also think Gerrard will be gone at the end of the season.

So Benitez walking will never happen. It's win-win for him, remain manager get paid, get sacked and get a fat wad of doe.

Some people here always seem to disregard this fact.....


Maybe its time i also play the devils advocate (bigmick shouldn't be the only one who does this.... )

Lets say....the reason why rafa keeps picking kuyt....picking voronin, trying his best not to make crouch go on a scoring run.....
could it be that he might be trying to get the sack ?

No wait....don't jump on me yet....i am just saying this could be a possibility right ?

Benitez is that stubborn a man, that he'll do anything in his power to prove this rotation bollox works in England, and he won't be looking to go abroad until he can prove it and have everyone think he's a genius again.

Agreed,his stubbornness is showing when he plays kuyt, he will score he WILL SCORE !! DAMMIT !

For the record how many games has kuyt gone without a goal compared to crouch's drought when he first joined?

Kuyts last goal was Newcastle where the ball hit him, rather than him score, but it's still his......so since then

Aside from hinting he'd entertain the idea of leaving, why the hell weren't G&H putting in a case for tapping up? Unless they'd given permission for him to talk...

As for why he plays Kuyt: ask anyone who's played champ manager/football manager. You have your fave player but he doesn't score. You put your reserve in and he scores. Then you look for any excuse to drop your non-fave and play your fave. You know he'll come good eventually. Unfortunately Rafa isn't playing a game and there comes a point when the non-fave (Crouch) should get a run in the side.

Learner, yank, hasn't had this trouble at Villa. So them not understanding anything is a useless arguement. They understood to give the money for Torres didn't they? It's typical Benitez, not getting what he wants, so he blames everyone else bar himself. If he didn't waste so much money on players who aren't even worth on, he'd have money to go out and buy the quality we need, but time and time again, his transfers have more often than not been proved to be bad signings.

I'm not a fan of the yanks, because of the whole Klinsmann thing, but people seem it's easy to blame them rather than honestly admit Benitez isn't up to the job at Anfield. Which is why I, personally, want to see the back of the yanks and Benitez.
