DAVID PRENTICE: Time for Rafa Benitez to tell us the facts over his future at Liverpool FC
THIS newspaper had its issues with Gerard Houllier. A control freak, supremely sensitive to even the mildest of criticism - and a man who refused to countenance any suggestion that he might have got anything wrong . . . ever.[LNB]Yet when it came to the crunch, Gerard Houllier accepted that no individual was bigger than Liverpool Football Club.[LNB]He relinquished his management of the club graciously, with enormous dignity and in a manner which reflected well on all parties.[LNB]He even posed for pictures on the Anfield pitch.[LNB]It's a lesson in humility the current Liverpool manager would do well to heed.[LNB]I'm a supporter of Benitez. I believe his departure would harm Liverpool Football Club. I certainly want him to stay.[LNB]But at the moment he's playing Liverpool Football Club - and its fans - like a harp.[LNB]His agent told us on Monday that his client wanted to stay on as Liverpool manager.[LNB]But from the man himelf there was silence.
