Contenders for the Liverpool Job
Rafa Benitez is a Dead Man Walking. The only thing that’s saving him from the sack is the fact that Liverpool do not have enough money to pay out his contract and hire a decent replacement. Otherwise, he would have been axed the second after Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup by Reading. Maybe this summer, after Liverpool end the season missing out on a spot in the Champions League, the club’s owners will realize they have no choice but to start afresh.
The contenders for the hot seat are already lining up…
The Wrong Way: Jurgen Klinsmann. There were reports a year ago that Liverpool’s co-owners had sounded out the German’s interest in the job. If they want star power, then few are bigger… but Klinsmann is little more than that. He might know what the Premier League is like from his playing days at Tottenham, but he failed abysmally in his only club management gig at Bayern Munich last season. Odds 10-1
The face of failure - Klinsmann cut a lonely figure at Bayern.

Rafa will stay FACT, the only people who want him gone are the usual clueless armchair pundits who wouldn’t know football if it bit them on the ar5e.

He will stay until the summer. If they miss out on a top 4 spot he’ll be off. He did promise as much. They’ve been awful this season and you can’t argue with his poor summer transfers… Aquilani, Johnson.
