Liverpool supporters plan manager demonstration

A group of Liverpool supporters have a plan to demonstrate to the club's American owners, whom their choice would be to take over the vacant manager's role at Anfield.

Following the results of almost every fans' poll, it's clear that the popular choice amongst most would be a return for 2005 Champions League winning manager Rafael Benitez.  This is despite leaked stories and gossip suggesting that current Wigan boss, Roberto Martinez and recently dismissed Chelsea manager, Andreas Villas Boas are frontrunners for the position.

It's believed that NESV will begin interviewing candidates next week.  Shanklygates' betting partner, Paddy Power are currently offering odds of 5/1 on a return for Benitez.  Please click the banner to the right to obtain a free £50 bet with PaddyPower when you register a new account.

The supporters group will meet today at 6:30pm behind the Kop, with flags and banners in support of Benitez.

It's a well-worn football meme that the vote of confidence is to be 'dreaded' but all other things being equal a public expression of support is more useful than a public display of non-support, and the deafening silence from Boston when Kenny Dalglish went there to present his vision for the future spoke volumes.
