Benitez has now hit back with a statement on the official Inter Milan website: "I am honestly surprised that an experienced and important manager like him said these things and spoke so much about me, considering I've been in Italy for three months.
"I can only add that the Liverpool fans know the story and they know the truth.
"They also know it's easy to judge when you've been in power for 24 years."
If things dont work out at inter for Rafa, I for one would take him back. He quite obviously still loves the club and the fans. if we can get rid of the dirt in the boardroom and negative Roy, he should be welcomed back home.
