Rafa fearing the axe

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has admitted that he could soon be without a job following four straight defeats. The Reds face bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday knowing a fifth successive loss - for the first time in 56 years - would in all probability spell the end of their league hopes. "We know results dictate in football. We just have to try to isolate ourselves and concentrate on the day-by-day work in football terms," said Benitez. The Spaniard has four-and-a-half years to run on the £4.5m-a-season contract he signed earlier this year, so sacking him could cost Liverpool’s owners a whopping £20m!
