It is time for Rafa Benitez to be replaced as manager of Liverpool Football Club. That's it. I don't need to say much more. While I will continue to hope that he can turn things round and offer my support every time we have a match, I'm afraid I cannot see anything changing. This website has never called for a sacking and we have been extremely loyal to Benitez but too much negativity is coming out of the dressing room for him to continue.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Tom Hicks and his son Tommy when they invited me to Dallas not long after they purchased the club. I say pleasure because it really was. I found them nice, polite people and Mr Hicks senior certainly laid on the VIP treatment and for that I will always be grateful.
