Meopham, Kent.
i think the phrase " by mutual agreement " is appropriate here

Which is of course a polite way of dressing up the exchange of;

Club. "Feck off you useless cretin."
Rafa. "Sod you, I'm taking your money and RUNNING. Byeeeeeee."

With Gerrard, Torres, Mascherano and Benayoun soon to be leaving, hopefully they'll be relegated :clap2::clap2:

SCUM!

Don't get the dislike for Benitez. Will now go to Inter or somewhere and start winning things again

Agreed. Apart from spunking tens of millions on a heap of shit players [and Torres], and making a series of baffling tactical changes and substitutions, I can't see that he's put a foot wrong.

Not bad, get sacked, and get a £6m payoff! Not really being sacked is he, just ushered out the door for a small fortune. When you get sacked, you generally get zilch.

Two Champion's league finals, a Europa Cup semi-final and an FA Cup final is piss poor I agree.

yeah, Torres is useless...

Torres is brillinat, and was a great buy, at £20m. That's why I said a 'heap of shit players AND Torres.

Carry on.

And feel free to list all his other great buys.

I'll start you off with Reina - great buy at a good price.

You may struggle to think of [m]any more.

Breaking promises of finishing in the top four should have made Rafa resign and he'd have got a lot more respect for that than taking his big pay-off for failing.

I hope he chokes on his chorizo now, the greedy swine. Good riddance.:bigwave:

Wow. I'll ignore the Europa run, which is a booby prize for getting knocked out of proper Europe. Don't forget the Carling Cup final too.

He was truly brilliant. :bowdown: Rafa

The champions league and FA cup were both thanks to Steven Gerrard 40 yard hit and hopes. It's sometimes better to be a lucky manager than a good one.

So getting through all the group stages of all these competitions etc etc had nothing to do with Benitez?

I like Wenger but his trophy cabinet over the last 5 years makes Benitez look like a World beater. How many Premier League clubs have a better haul than Liverpool?

He may have lost his way, lost the plot, whatever but he is basically a good manager and I have no doubt he'll do OK somewhere else
