Well considering the rumours linking Mr Benitez to the Inter Milan managerial job, it was only a matter of time before a mutual parting of the ways between the Liverpool FC directors and Rafael.
Money (lack of it) is clearly a factor in the decline of this once mighty club but so is ownership issues, which leads to a clear lack of direction.
Imagine being Steven Gerrard or his team-mate Glen Johnson at this moment.
They should be training for England regarding the World Cup but will have the above issue on their mind.
In other words, they have to wonder whether they’ve got a job to come back to after the Cup or should they, as Torres is rumoured, leave for pastures new.
Either way it’s probably for the best Benitez is gone as it does seem that during the 2009/10 season, Liverpool FC ran out of steam and ideas.
Old clubs need new blood in order to keep fresh and relevant in this day and age. But that should serve as a warning to anyone wanting the return of Kenny Daglish.
He’s been out of football management too long to give Liverpool the edge they need to be the leaders they were in the 1980s.
We know, as Manchester City have displayed, nowadays you need to have a manager with vision – that’s what Mark Hughes clearly lacked during his time at City, which is why I’ll be surprised to see him at The Kop.
But you also need owners who are going to stick around. Liverpool FC doesn’t have seem to have this either.
So whoever does become the manager of Liverpool will have to tackle all these issues and lead the team to at least the Championship League again.
Good luck to him as he will certainly need it!
