I think we however, are progressing and improving so it would be detrimental to get rid of Benitez.
I do rate Rijkaard as a coach though, and I think he will go on to further success in his next job. AC Milan should go for him, as I think he'd do a really good job there.

If you read between the lines in his opening line "Double La Liga and Champions League manager sacked. Standards are high at Barcelona." What it really reads is
"We're fucking shite under Benitiz, he's spent Net/Gross more than any other manger in the world put together, the style of football is crap and why the fuck should we back him even though we know the club is skint, but I still don't understand why we can't go out and buy 2 world class wingers for £25m each... what the fuck has having no money got to do with it.. Did I mention that he's spent Net/Gross more than anyone else EVER.. If I didn't let me do that now.. He's spent Net/Gross more than Slur or any other manager in Europe.. anyway, my contacts at Barca, DIC, and at the Telegraph have confirmed that Rijkaard will gracing the hallowed technical area of Anfield next season and Benitez will be replacing Pep Guardiola who is just an interim appointment, even though the worlds media have today announced that he will be the full time first team coach.. but what do they know.. I'm telling you that he's an interim appointment and will be replaced by Benitez.... I can't confirm this though as it's not one of my normal sources but Messi may follow Rijkaard to Anfield....."
