Looks like Rafa is staying another season.

Not too dissapointed like, but I don't think we will improve under him, but first we need to find new owners.

as it happens mate I'm not too fussed whether Rafa stays or goes to be honest, but there's some people on here that will use every little nugget of information to twist into a reason to get him out. Its get old, quickly

Just because I defend him in certain circumstances does not mean I'm 'pro' or 'anti'

How about 'he won't go because he is genuinely happy at LFC and knows he can achieve more' rather than 'the fat kunt isn't going because he wants his fooking pay off :angry:

It's not a question of every little nugget of information, it's much more simple than that. If you finish second one season, then the following season finish seventh, you have fecked it up big style. You don't deserve another shot at it, because you have fecked it up royally.

I am not surprised he is staying, I have said as much for quite a while now, but the prospect hardly fills me with optimism. He isn't up to the job IMHO, simple as that.

I don't think he meant he wants them as manager

, just that in his opinion they had performed better this season than Rafa.

Not without his wedge he wont

keep it shut lad

he said something about that we won't be in the same situation this summer...

Don't kid yourself lad
It will make no difference if we get new owners, more money, new ground etc
Rafa will do fk all different and we will still be going nowhere under him.

And you know that how?

he's just watched it for 9 months numnuts

Right. What about the two CL finals before that? Couple of semi-finals as well? What about the run in the league last season? FA Cup win? 9 months just erased all that? Must have.

Do you really think you've watched great football under him?
Great achievements in Europe a few seasons back, but be honest the second final was harder to lose, but he managed it.
As for finishing 2nd! ffs how long has he been here? and it was only the fear of getting the push that made him go for it.
Hes been in his comfort zone again this season with his contract so he hasn't given a fk, he's just played his natural negative game and refused to change right up until the final whistle at Hull

I can see why you think this Mick and that's also why I have my reservations about his tenure - another season like this and the players are certain to leave and then we slip down starting another period of 'rebuilding' which I certainly do not want

Its a massive summer for us all no doubt about it

My point is tho Mick people harp on about all sorts of things other than our league position, things like 'he won't leave because he wants a pay off' and every little word he says and every decision he makes, it seems that some have grown to dislike the manager so much that they're biased in thier assessment of the facts. It's these people that make me worry because as soon as they don't take to a new manager it'll just be the same sh!te all over again - we're not the kind of club that goes sacking managers everytime it doesnt work out, this club has never been like that and I have my reserves that we may slip into that mentality everytime a manager doesnt deliver

Rafael Benitez has today spoken of his desire to remain as Liverpool manager and insisted that "no-one" at the club wants to sell Fernando Torres or Steven Gerrard.

The boss revealed he has held positive talks with Chairman Martin Broughton and will hold another meeting with the Reds chief next week.

"I had a meeting with the chairman and it was positive," Benitez told his post match press conference at Hull City. "We will have another one this week and we will talk about the future again.

"I have shown my commitment for years, and if I stay I am not thinking about selling Gerrard or Torres. I do not want to sell them.

"The stability of the club is important because we need to move forward, we will have another meeting and hopefully we can progress."

He added: "Nobody wants to sell them (Gerrard and Torres). I think the Chairman was very clear."

Asked if he wanted to remain as Liverpool manager, Benitez said: "Yes, it is always the same situation. I have wanted to stay and I would like to stay."

The Reds brought a disappointing season to a close with 0-0 draw at Hull City, a result that leaves them in seventh place.

Benitez admits it was a frustrating afternoon in Humberside and feels the draw was symptomatic of their season away from home.

"I think you could see we tried to win," he said. "We had chances, we could have scored at the end, but it has been a special season with a lot of things happening. We had three or four chances but couldn't take them.

"We were really good away last season, but this year there has been a big difference. We didn't win the games we won last season and haven't scored as many goals."

One positive from the draw with the Tigers was the debut of Academy starlet, Jack Robinson, who became the youngest Liverpool player in history when he replaced Ryan Babel late on.

Benitez said: "We have been lucky because the reserve team have been away and we had problems with injuries, with Fabio and Insua. He was training with us one day, so we felt he could be an option.

"We knew he was a young player. I am really pleased. He is now clutching his shirt and doesn't want to give to anyone."

Liverpool's seventh place finish means they will now face a Europa League qualifier in July, a fixture that Benitez admits will cause issues with the Reds' pre-season preparations.

"We were working hard and had the pre-season more or less sorted. But now we have to analyse the schedule and see if we can organise the fixtures properly.

"It was the same last year, we had too many players away with the Confederations Cup. The teams are suffering with these tournaments, but it's not easy, we will try to manage."

The boss was also quizzed about potential transfer targets.

He said: "We have been working and looking at targets. Every year is the same."

He added: "I don't think it will be a problem attracting players because Liverpool is massive club with a great history and we have big players with quality in the squad.

"You cannot win every year. This season has been bad, but when you are at a club for a long time you have good times and bad times."
