I thought you didn't believe anything the papers wrote?

We're back to the same point yet again... Rafa has gone, and there's
absolutely no way of knowing whether any of those players would have been
sold (or been happy to be sold) under Benitez if he was still here next
season.

That's an outrageous assumption - ex Liverpool managers don't come
into the equation and I for certainly didn't mention one

My point was that the proposed "NEW" Liverpool manager quite probably
excites no one and, in my opinion, players will see
the rumoured appointment as a lack of ambition, and those with any of
their own will leave the club.

You're hinting that those players would have stayed if Rafa had.

Maybe those players would have left anyway, we don't know. I wonder how many
will trigger their "no Champions League and I can leave" clauses? If any of
them *do* leave and subsequently say that they'd have stayed if Rafa was
still here, or if Hosgson hadn't been appointed, I'd be very surprised.
