31171. Lets spread da Word and make sure Rafa is going no where

Great idea, done for me,
In rafa we trust.

WOW 34356 now..... brilliant

34743

Went up by 10 just as I signed!

did it... hope he stays... its just gonna cause loadsa chaos at the club...

heard about it on the radio so got home from work and signed it with a little message to them yanks who i never wanted to take over in the 1st place.

i still believe rafa should not have done wot he did in public and to the t.v with his interviews it should of stayed behind closed doors but it appears he acknowledges that fact and has gone some way to puit it right the ball is in the yanks court now and with this petition if they want to make themselves very unpopular and public enemy number 1 with the fans after 6 months then getting rid of rafa is the right way to go about it.

SACK HIM AT YOUR PERIL YANKS

   lets hope he stays and the players give their support by playing a great game this evening

To:  Liverpool FC Shareholders

George Gillett and Tom Hicks,

This petition is on behalf of all those who feel that Rafael Benitez must continue as Liverpool manager with the full backing of the board. Benitez is Liverpool's best manager since Bob Paisley and is irreplaceable, no matter how much money you are willing to invest in another manager.

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

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

The European transfer market is different to that in the USA, and the process of signing players can take months. Addressing the issues a few weeks before the transfer window opens is not good enough and could lose us a player who may end up making the difference between us finishing first and second.

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

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

PS. I disagree with Rafa going public with his views in the manner he did (repeating the same answer 13 times in a press conference is not clever) although I understand his point of view. This kind of business should be done behind closed doors, not in public. Rafa has dug himself a very big, deep hole...
He has left himself wide open to face the bullet, I hope for the sake and Liverpool Football Club and himself Hicks and Gillete show mercy and realise Rafa is the man to guide Liverpool to further and continued success.

Watched the game tonight on telly
And as the the guys went done the tunnel a few of the players touched the THIS IS ANFIELD sign ..usual suspects Gerrard, Cara , Riise , Hyypia and a couple of others

If both of Rafa's hands had landed on the "This Is Anfield" sign, then i've just landed my signature at 43,083.

Wait a minute, coming in at 43,083 means that the numbers would have filled up the whole stadium, isn't that loud enough to the yankees to keep Rafa???

Signed...

Just revisiting a story from a few weeks back
http://www.anfield-online.co.uk/lfc-news/2007/11/27/benitez-petition-25000-signatures-in-24-hours/

and I noticed the total signatures hit 43,500.  It seems fair that we at least manage to bump it up to the official Anfield attendance of just over 45,300.

If you're a member of other forums get the signature link re-bumped.
