Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

The lads in YNWA.tv are having a real go at the pundits for talking only about Rafa's job when his team had produced the most stunning result this round of the Chanmpions League.

I am really impressed by the Fab One - he's been very good past few games.

And the team of course, what a splendid bit of organisation without Stevie and without Torres for the last half hour.

well he may not resign but he might get sacked.

really the wrong time for such bullshit and politics

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

well as far as Rafa is concerned, I dun tink the owners would be stupid enuff to sack Rafa in mid season. Pool is doing well so far compared to the previous few seasons.

Besides they still have a chance to catch Manure, not to mention that the Europe tie with Madrid is not yet over. 1 goal is a slim lead against a team like Madrid.

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

bad news, Torres set to miss our games against Boro and Sunderland :(

REAL MADRID 0-1 LIVERPOOL- REACTION
Shocked Benitez "not thinking of resigning"
By Soccernet staff

February 26, 2009

After steering Liverpool to a memorable 1-0 Champions League last-16 first-leg win over Real Madrid, Rafael Benitez dismissed reports that he is planning to resign and insists he remains confident of progress in prolonged contract negotiations.

Rafa Benitez: No intention of resigning

The build-up to Wednesday night's victory in the Bernabeu, sealed by a late Yossi Benayoun header to put the Reds in pole position to progress to the last eight, was marred by widespread reports that Benitez was poised to quit.

However, the Spaniard insists: ''I was very surprised to hear rumours that I was going to resign. I can assure you that I have not been considering such a move, and it was a shock to hear such suggestions.

''It needs to be clear that I was not thinking of resigning. My aim is to keep working and winning and to tell the owners that on the pitch.''

Benitez has been locked in talks with owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks over a new four-year deal for several weeks. And he strenuously refuted claims he was considering his position, reiterating he is happy at the club.

''My lawyers and advisors have been talking to the club's owners over the past few days about the contract and I believe that problems we have can be overcome. I expect talks to continue between my lawyers, my advisors, myself and the owners,'' added Benitez.

''I am really pleased with my position at the club, I have not been thinking about resigning. My aim is to win every game that is possible for this club, and my advisors will continue to talk. We will see what happens then. We are still talking, so we will see what happens in the future.

''I was not thinking about resigning, obviously I cannot control other things that I could be fired, but I was just concentrating on the game. The club has made it clear this rumour was not true. That is important for everyone.

''Stability is the key if you want to be successful. And the players were able to do their talking on the pitch, not beforehand.''

It is believed that Benitez is hoping to gain more autonomy over club business, particularly transfers, from chief executive Ricky Parry and this has led to fractious relationship between the two.

Problems between manager and chief executive have been exacerbated by each taking a different side in the civil war between Liverpool's US co-owners; Parry is aligned with Gillett and Benitez has sided with Hicks.

Hicks and Gillett have clashed over the running of the club and the current economic climate is thought to have added further strain, but at present an uncomfortable truce appears to have taken hold as they try to steady the club.

Benitez was thrilled with the victory which gives him the opportunity to lead Liverpool to the Champions League quarter-finals for the fourth time in five seasons.

''This was a very important victory,'' he said. ''Particularly as we did not have Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres was troubled by an ankle injury from the first minute.

''But we were able to play them on the counter-attack. We knew how Real play and we were able to organise our tactics accordingly.''

Benitez expects Torres to miss Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough with his ankle injury, but believes Gerrard could start the game following the hamstring injury that restricted his involvement against Real to the last few minutes.

there was rumour that King Kenny will return to take charge if Rafa goes.
this is good,we need someone likes him.
but hope Rafa at least will stay till the end of the season and then decide.

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Does Dalglish still have what it takes to manage a top flight club though?
the last time he did a good job was in 95 with Blackburn.

Re: Liverpool Fc Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings
 

Dalglish is history, the best manager I can think of is currently at Chelsea at a temporary basis. ;)
