Comment: The rationale of the full post is that it will probably all
fall apart if Benitez leaves, and that no top manager will come under
the conditions that the club is in. He's asking, would you want THIS
board (which at this time includes the Hicks and Gillette's) to
appoint a manger of their choosing?

There are certainly interested parties out there and any of them would
be infinitely better than our current pair of clowns but the
unrealistic financial expectations we’ve been hearing about from these
pair of morons may make it difficult to tie up a deal quickly and this
thing could drag on into next year at the earliest. Such circumstances
make things worrying for us for next season and may mean we will have
to endure another frustrating and ultimately fruitless campaign, but
that need not necessarily be the case.

For me our one beacon of light in this whole mess is Rafa Benitez.
Between the board room, the players, the backroom staff and the
supporters, he is the one piece of glue holding everything together
and I would really fear for us if he should depart. I’m not trying to
suggest he is perfect or that he hasn’t made a few mistakes along the
way but for me he is the only prominent figure at Anfield at the
moment that I trust and think is genuinely trying to do his best for
the club and its supporters.

There are some Liverpool supporters who seem to think we would be
better off without him and I wouldn’t dismiss all of these people as
the type of mindless media-led idiots who we often hear spouting their
moronic nonsense on radio phone-ins and the like. Some of these people
are not like that at all and are decent enough supporters like the
rest of us who have their own genuine reasons for their opinions which
I respect but totally disagree with.

In my humble opinion these people need to stop focusing on what they
hope would happen if the manager was dismissed and start focusing on
what the likely actual reality would be should he depart. All of these
other prominent managerial names we hear being bandied about in the
media who some people seem to think would do a better job than Rafa,
would demand fat salaries and guarantees of big fat transfer budgets
which just aren’t available at Anfield so none of these guys would
touch us with a barge pole.

Besides this, I would assume that everybody should be very well aware
at this stage that the people in our boardroom at the moment couldn’t
give a monkey’s fart about us or any of the history and traditions of
the club that we hold dear. These people are only interested in
Liverpool as a brand and how much money they can squeeze from it. So
if it is left to them to appoint a replacement you can be sure they
will be looking for someone they can easily control, a yes man who
won’t rock the boat.

And there are plenty of Jurgen Klinnsmann-type candidates out there
for them to choose from. The type of guys who will happily accept all
of the restrictions placed upon them by the board knowing that even if
they last in the job for only a season or two, having Liverpool on
their managerial CV will be a guaranteed meal ticket for them for the
rest of their careers.

He's raises a good point.

But in fairness, that applies to 90% of the managing, coaching and playing
staff too. If you're going to slag the chairmen for being non-local and
mercenary, then you have to include the other 90% of our staff as well.

Cut the players/manager/coaches wages by 99%, or get relegated, and we'll
soon find out who holds dear "the history and traditions of LFC".
