ViVA RAFALUTION! LONG LIVE RAFAEL BENITEZ!

VIVA RAFALUTION!

Despite the currrent rumours of the icy and rocky relationship between the gaffer Rafael Benitez and Tom Hicks and George Gillett, we as all Liverpool FC fans pray that Rafael Benitez stays at Anfield. We are all with you RAFAEL! Bring us back No.19!

Rafa! Rafael! Rafa! Rafael!Rafa! Rafael!

RAFAEL BENITEZ!

1 European Champions League

1 FA CUP Champions

1 European Super Cup

1 FA Community Sheild

There is an online petition showing for the full support to Rafael Benitez. If anyone is reading this, please go to http://www.petitiononline.com/amg83ds/petition.html

This is the body of the letter to the LFC stakeholders, George Gillett and Tom Hicks:

To: Liverpool FC Stakeholders
George Gillet and Tom Hicks, This petition is on behalf of all those who feel that Rafael Benitez must continue as Liverpool manager will full backing of the board. Rafael Benitez is Liverpool’s best manager since Paisley, and is irreplaceable no matter how much money you are willing to invest in another party’s wage.

In three seasons Rafael Benitez has brought Liverpool to two champion’s league finals, a league cup final, and an FA Cup final, and is now beginning to challenge for a premiership title, something Liverpool has longed for a long time.

Relieving him of his duties will cause a major backlash in proceedings. We shall have to get a new manager, who will need time to adapt, he will need to recruit new players that suit his style, and so it may take even more years to do so. And of course, despite all this, he still won't be as tactically sound as the likes of Benitez.

The European transfer market is different to the USA, and proceedings must be adhered too months beforehand in order to secure a signing. Doing it a few weeks before is not good enough and could lose us a player who could be difference between first and second.

Rafael Benitez is a huge asset to Liverpool, more than any player, and any club in the world would be delighted to have him under the same contract we do. If you truly are behind this club, and you want to bring us as much as you said you did, then you will understand how important it is.


Sincerely,

The Undersigned

After several questionable team selection and tactical decisions early in the season, it would appear that Rafa is finally getting it right. We should however not get too carried away as; a) Besiktas is one of the weakest teams in the Champions League and b) Even Portsmouth hit 4 past Newcastle at St. James.

hv ya guys heard, there will be a protest march on wed b4 the porto game in anfield calling for the yanks to stay the 'execution'... blardy yanks!

Well it's not just another "franchise" anymore isn't it? The club belongs to the supporters and fans not them "soccer" loving yanks!

Sorry la, though I think sacking Rafa would be a bad move, the bugger also relek la. Already been given 50m to spend but he fails to include javier in the budget.

Plus with a massive squad, we are on the verge of CL elimination, outside a CL spot in the league, he shouldn't go shooting his mouth off like that lar.

How would YOU (ie Albertus) like it if after you has given the gaffer serious cash, put down even more fer a new stadium, the results are fooking shite & he demands even more money!?!

Sure la, you also bengang.

Do note I was AGAINST our club falling into American ownership from the start.

PS: Jose - he ain't coming coz to do so, yanks have to pay off Rafa, pay off Chelsea & Jose will also ask fer transfer kitty. Sammy lee anyone? Or dare I say it . . . Toshack?

If i am not mistaken, the available funds for the summer transfers wasn't fully utilized.

Part of the reason they succeeded in winning the bid was they PROMISED to fund and build the stadium.

Looks like them yanks went shooting off their mouth and chewed more than they can handle when they took over the club.

The last thing they wanna do is to alienated the very core of the club - the supporters. In an online poll in RAWK about 80+ percent of Reds are behind the gaffer. So it's gonna be an interesting show of force outside the Kop come this Thursday morning.
