Did Rafael Benitez Really Turn Us Down?

</p><p class="big">Rafa Benitez has revealed he has turned down 'a good offer' to quit Liverpool.</p>

The Spanish coach has proved a major hit at Anfield and is perceived as integral to the club's future success.</p>

New joint owner Tom Hicks has claimed that Benitez would be staying on Merseyside because his family do not want to leave the city.</p>

While Benitez was reluctant to bring his family into the issue, he acknowledged his family are happy and that he had declined the opportunity to join another club.</p>

He refused to identify the club, with Real Madrid having been linked with his services, and insists there is no reason to end his three-year association with The Reds.</p>

&quot;You know my idea, I don't like to talk about my family, but they are really happy here,&quot; said Benitez on Sky Sports News.</p>

&quot;The Scouse accent of my daughter is a problem for me, but we are really pleased to be here.</p>

&quot;The only thing I want to say is I said no to a good a offer, a good team, because we are happy.</p>

&quot;It's not a question of money or other things, it's a project with my team, with my club and also the fans, the supporters behind us.</p>

&quot;We're really pleased and really happy here for all these things together.&quot;</p>

 

I heard it was Donny

But he didn't want the pressure attached to managing such a big club.

 

"The Scouse accent of my daughter is a problem for me" - he should leave now!
