Could Rafa Benitez be about to quit as Liverpool boss?

Rumours abound on the internet that Rafa Benitez could be set to quit as Liverpool manager.

A number of bookmakers are believed to have already suspended betting on the next Premier League manager to go in light of the whispers coming out of Merseyside.

With reports of limited funds and the departure of star midfielder Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, poor Rafa would certainly have reason to be disgruntled.

But it would still be a huge surprise to see the Spaniard depart the Reds, whom he has steered to Champions League and FA Cup glory since taking up the reins in June 2004.

What do you think? Do you believe it's the right time for Rafa to go? Or are you desperately hoping the rumours are false? Add your opinion below...
