      I'm completely blown away by what he's done, what a lovely parting gesture, he will always be welcome at Anfield, forever in our hearts Rafa Benitez.

      Thankyou from the bottom of my heart.

      He is probably as devastated as us but life moves on, good luck Rafa see you sometime soon with a bit of good fortune, and thanks for the gesture and sticking up to old whiskey face when all else were sh*t scared.

      A true gentleman, miracle maker, legend.
      Again, good luck Rafa, YNWA.

      I really don't see what all the fuss is about... He got what 6 million from his pay out! 96,000 is absolutely f**k all to him!

      You F***ing moron. Did David Moores or Rick Perry ( local lads ) make any donation when they left?  96k is still lot of money plus he received far less than the 6 millions payoff.

      Could not agree more, and it is a shame to see Rafa go, because since King Kenny no manager has truly understood and shown what it means to not only manage Liverpool, but show what Liverpool is all about. The Passion, the drive, the focus, and the caring, Liverpool is more than a Football Club, and Rafa knew what that meant.

      Disappointed that Rafa extracted 6 million from the club even though he had another big paying job to go to. 

      Full credit to him for donating 96,000 of it to a truly worthy cause.

      Has any forum member got a list of journo email links to the national  newspapers?

      Perhaps they should print some good news for a change.

      Itll prove, that whatever the management part of his job was debatable and I for one was a critic, it still didn't change the fact that Rafa was and always will be a true gentleman.

      I've read it in the papers this morning as well.

      To be fair - most journos are whoppers.  That's right - YOU journo's reading this right now. You're most probably a whopper (save for a couple of individuals).

      It is a pleasure to read all the posts thanking RAFA for what he has done for L.F.C.Would it be possible to send RAFA a thank you message at his new club from LFCREDS and its members.I originally thought about everyone sending RAFA an email like we did to the R.B.Scotland but thought this would be unfair to bombard him with a load of emails.This is only a suggestion and it would be interesting to get the thoughts of other posters.Cheers.

      I agree , we need to let Rafa know that we are truly honoured and grateful to have had such as man as our manager , and thank him for his wonderful gesture.
      Perhaps a large flag with a suitable message could be unfurled at our first home match.
      I know people say we need to move on and support whoever is our new manager , but this needs acknowledging !!

      What a star!

      Love the man, no wonder he was gutted when he realised he had to walk away, no wonder his family are sticking around the area still.

      What a fantastic gesture and the message left with it was quite touching too.

      He knows he'll Never Walk Alone.

      Agreed, an email with links to the relevant threads would probably cut it. !

      Just seen on SSN that he's donated £96,000 to the Hillsborogh charity, but of course they don't actually report it, it's on the poxy white bit at the bottom - F***ing legend
