The second best thing for Liverpool FC

Well the writing had been on the wall for quite a while now, and sure enough Rafa Benitez was sacked has left LFC by 'mutual consent'. In theory this should be a positive thing, as new managers often bring a fresh impetus to clubs.

In practice though, we're still stuck with our illustrious owners, and thanks to a string of broken promises they made us, they're as much to blame for many of LFC's misfortunes. Fingers crossed they don't start selling off some of our star players in order to pay off their obscene debts.

Rafa gave us some great times, but his managerial reign had clearly run it's course and his leaving LFC is the second best thing for our club. The best thing would be for Hicks and Gillet to follow suit.

What we need now is to retain our best players and somehow attract a quality managerial candidate to save us join us.
