Juventus Meet Rafa Benitez's Lawyers - Spaniard To Take Over Immediately
According to Sky Sport Italia, a meeting has taken place between Juventus and the legal team of Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez in Milan, with the Bianconeri pushing for a deal that will see the Spaniard take over in Turin immediately.
Reports have been rife in the press all week that tonight's Coppa Italia game against Inter will be the last on the bench for coach Ciro Ferrara, who will then move upstairs into a director role.
A whole host of names have been linked as Ferrara's successor, including Giovanni Trapattoni, Guus Hiddink, Alberto Zaccheroni and Claudio Gentile. The latter duo were believed to be the favourites, with speculation that one would take over on a short term contract until the end of the season when a big name would be appointed on a permanent basis.
One of these big names was Rafa Benitez, who had emerged over the last few days as the favourite for the permanent position.
However, Sky Sport Italia are now claiming that a meeting has taken place in Milan between Juventus and the Benitez legal team, with the Old Lady hoping to entice the Spaniard to Turin immediately.
These reports have not been confirmed officially by either club, but there have been widespread reports today that Juventus president Jean-Claude Blanc flew to England to discuss this move.
More should become clear in the coming hours, but the fact that Benitez has a contract until 2014 and Liverpool are on the verge of economic collapse may mean that the Merseysiders will be happy to release the ex-Valencia man and not have to pay him compensation.

I'd actually be a bit sad if he went. I was looking forward to 700 quids worth of moaning and groaning about him at the match next season.

Like Rafa, he would get a very decent transfer budget, I'd trust him a lot more to use it wisely.

Mourinho's record in the transfer market is pretty fucking rubbish too.
[/quote]Hey big lad, you seem a bit less angry at the Rafa outers these days. Are you borderline 'had enough' now too?

Not in the slightest mate.
I really like Rafa, evidently a lot more than most on here. I've just grown tired of defending him I suppose.

All that's done is remind me of some Anti-Terrorism advert that used to air in Norn Iron back in the day. Some 'RA gunman loved his wife in the morning, and became vicious Prod killer by night. He eventually met his comeuppance in a shoot-out (in anti-terrorism ad's, NO ONE ever survives - All killers die an early death apparently, as opposed to the billions of them that are now cult celebrities in the country). Anyway, I digress. Cut to final scene of his wife standing over his grave with "You don't bring me flowers... Anymore" echoing through the background.
Fucking cheers for that THEMN.

This could be within everyone's interests.
Benitez is a good man, a proven manager and somebody who loves this club - but I don't think he can remedy this situation and our record this season is simply unacceptable for a big clubs standards.
