a club, not our club.

rafa just isn't suited to english footie - just like morientes wasn't ..... doesn't mean he is not a good manager, just not the right manager

my god morientes was a shocking disappointment. i actually felt bad for him. i remember gerrard giving him a tap in to get him off the mark and he didnt even celebrate it, you could see how useless he felt.

the future of this club depends on that F**king stadium being built and the new owners. Once we sort this out, we will become attractive to players again. We cant attract great players if we cant sort out our shop.

Rafa can go to Inter, AC, Juve for all I care.

even if we do go into admin i dont think we blame rafa 4that. the blame is 100% perry/moores and the two di*khead yanks. i do blame rafa for losing the dressing room and playing too defensive. i think we need a change

Some managers no matter how good they are are not right for ceretain football Clubs and Benitez falls into that category with us, I do think he will do a good job at whatever club he chooses to go to but it's just that his way of managing and tactics is simply not suited to the English Premier League.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez remains confident that the club can still attract high calibre signings despite the absence of UEFA Champions League football.

The Reds concluded a disappointing Premier League campaign with a seventh-placed finish, losing their grip on a much-coveted place at Europe's top table.

The outcome means Benitez's team will be competing in the Europa League next season and the Spaniard is hoping funds will be available to strengthen his squad as he looks to restore the Anfield club's reputation.

Speculation still surrounds Benitez and his future on Merseyside, with both Inter and AC Milan said to be interested in recruiting the 50-year-old.

Juventus had been keen on taking on the Liverpool boss but the Old Lady opted for Luigi Del Neri instead, although Leonardo's departure from Milan and Jose Mourinho's expected exit from Inter could pave the way for Benitez.

But the former Valencia tactician said he was focusing on plans for his existing employers, explaining Liverpool's status in the world of football would still make it an attractive choice - despite a dearth of cash and no place in Europe's premier club competition.

Benitez said: "Liverpool is a massive club and can attract top-class players because of their name and their history and the quality we have in the squad.

"Always we have targets in mind. We have been working and preparing the targets and every year is the same."

I hope this is true Swede, as you said in the other thread, if new owners come in then we should have no problem attracting top quality stars. If they see Liverpools current "stars" leaving in their droves then regardless of new owners or not, this may be a stumbling block convincing potential targets from signing for LFC.

He seems very confident that we will be signing top players. should we dare read betwen the lines?

what i think will happen is new owners will be in place in time to sign players this transfer window. i think they will give rafa one more season to prove himself and i think they will give him the money needed to sign the 4-5 players he's been talking about.

there's still the possibility of him joining one of the milano clubs but i think he will stay here for one more season. if he fails then he will be replaced next summer...

ye seem very positive Swede and that's certainly a change from the usual posts by the lot of us up here. At the end of the day we need to believe
