Liverpool have given manager Rafa Benitez what amounts to the dreaded vote of (no) confidence and have said that he will not be sacked.
Managing director Christian Purslow has insisted manager Rafael Benitez’s position is safe, despite Liverpool being knocked out of the Champions League yesterday.
Liverpool failed to make it past the group stages for the first time in six years, despite a 1-0 win over Debrecen.
Their slight hope of qualification for the knock out stage was ended by Fiorentina’s 1-0 victory over Lyon. Liverpool can now finish no higher than third in their group, behind Fiorentina and Lyon with one match remaining.
Purslow said Benitez would stay, saying: “He is under no threat”
I wonder if that’s the same message Paul Hart was given by Portsmouth……
