Liverpool Fc.... Have the BBC got something against Rafa?

This is from the BBC, and it seems this reporter Saj Chowdhury knows very little about the clubs in the premiership or Liverpool Football Club in particular, these are his views on likely managers to get the boot this season and those who are safe. Full list can be found Here
But one comparison screams out madness, its marked out of 10 lower the number safer you are, i have picked these 3 to have a look at.

  • ARSENE WENGER - Arsenal

    Arsene Wenger

    The chances of Wenger getting the boot are as likely as Jose Mourinho turning up to Chelsea's training ground in a dress and a Tina Turner wig. It is not going to happen.

    Verdict: Do the Gunners hand out knighthoods?

    Sack Rating: 1/10

  • SIR ALEX FERGUSON - Manchester United

    Sir Alex Ferguson

    Every year United fans debate whether Ferguson should stay or leave, but they never call for the 64-year-old to be turfed out - one look at his record will tell you why.

    Verdict: They say there is no man bigger than the club, but Sir Alex comes close.

    Sack Rating: 3/10

  • RAFAEL BENITEZ - Liverpool

    Rafa Benitez

    Benitez has already achieved sainthood having guided Liverpool to their millionth (slight exaggeration) European Cup triumph.

    He is now looking for his side to achieve the almost impossible, by beating Chelsea to the title. The signing of Craig Bellamy may prove to be his best move yet.

    Verdict: Safe. But many will expect Benitez's men to challenge strongly for domestic and European honours.

    • Sack Rating: 4/10

    So this guy actually believes that our Rafa is more likely to get the boot rather than the idiot that just payed over 18 million for Carrick, in my view Benitez and Wenger are the 2 most astute managers in the prem, but i would go as far as to say his job is even safer than Wenger, you have to remember where we were a few years ago under Houlier and the way he has cleaned that mess up and is now put a team capable of challenging for the title.
