Rafael Benitez To Stay As Liverpool FC Manager

This petition is on behalf of all those who feel that Rafael Benitezmustcontinue as Liverpool manager with the full backing of the board.Benitez isLiverpool's best manager since Bob Paisley and is irreplaceable, nomatterhow much money you are willing to invest in another manager.

In three seasons Benitez has taken Liverpool to two Champions Leaguefinals,a League Cup final and an FA Cup final, and is now beginning tochallengefor a Premier League title, something Liverpool fans have craved for alongtime.

Relieving him of his duties would almost certainly have a detrimentaleffect on the club. We would have to find a new manager, who will needtimeto adapt and recruit new players that suit his style, which could costyearsof progress. And, despite all of this, he is still unlikely to be astactically astute as Benitez.

The European transfer market is different to that in the USA, and theprocess of signing players can take months. Addressing the issues a fewweeks before the transfer window opens is not good enough and couldlose usa player who may end up making the difference between us finishingfirst andsecond.

Benitez is a huge asset to Liverpool, more so than any player, and anyclubin the world would be delighted to have him in charge of their team. Ifyoutruly are behind this club, and you want to bring us success as much asyousay you do, then you will understand how important this issue is.
