Wasn’t it sad to watch Rafa’s press conference at Melwood today?
Nervously reading from a scrap of paper, he apologised to the fans because of this disastrous season.
He mentioned “facts” again, like he did last year when Liverpool were then top of the League and looking good for the Title.
Of course we didn’t quite make it last year, but this term we have taken a major step backwards in terms of results and performances.
Tomorrow’s lunch-time game against Stoke and Wednesday’s crunch game against Spurs will define Liverpool’s season in the League and also Benitez’s future at the club.
Despite MD Cristian Purslow coming out and saying that Rafa’s job “Is not on the agenda.”
The fact is that is Liverpool want to attract badly needed new investment in the club, they cannot do so with a Manager who is failing to get results.
With injuries to Torres, Gerrard and Benayoun this is crisis-time at the club.
If results don’t go our way tomorrow and especially on Wednesday, expect an announcement from Anfield terminating Rafa’s reign.
It is believed his huge payout wouldbe paid in instalments allowing the Americans to make a swift move for Guus Hiddink who is willing and available to take over the reins at Anfield.
