MESSAGE TO RAFA: SPEND IT WISELY!
Latest rumours suggest that fresh capital is finally about to be injected into the club by the hated Hicks and Gillette selling up to 30% of their joint holding to new investors in a hope to raise £100 million for the club.
Some of that money is supposedly for the new stadium, although I doubt that, much of it will go on repaying the debt.
However, it looks like Rafa will be given a significant share to go into the January transfer window and buy some players.
We badly need a quality striker to play upfront and instead of Torres when he is injured, as is the case now.
David Villa, David Silva or Sergio Aguero would do nicely.
We also need to bolster up the midfield with a player like Simao, someone the improving Lucas will never be.
Rumours suggest that Rafa may be sacked by the yanks if things don’t improve but Benitez has the full backing of the board. I believe.
He is the right man to lead us out of this crisis and back up near the top of the table again where we belong, aiming for the League.
By the way, the bookies have Liverpool at 6/1 today to win The Europa League and I wrote about it a day before they opened the betting on it.
