But Rafa Benitez won’t be staying quiet about the critics thrown at him by the former Liverpool owner. Benitez has launched a cryptic attack on the club's ousted owners and current managing director Christian Purslow in an interview.
Hicks criticised Benitez for wasting much of the money he was given to spend during the latter half of his tenure.
But Benitez has insisted the Americans were to blame, citing their appointment of Purslow in the summer of last year as the beginning of a downward spiral that ended in the Spaniard's exit.
But in a bizarre outburst, Benitez compared events leading up to his departure to a bottle of milk.
"We have a saying in Spanish: 'White liquid in a bottle has to be milk'."
"What does this mean? It means that after 86 points and finishing second in the league, what changed?"
"The Americans, they chose a new managing director and everything changed.”
"So, what changed?”
"The managing director is involved in all the decisions: new lawyer, new chief of press, new manager, nine new players, new medical staff, new fitness coaches - they changed everything.”
"At the beginning, they changed the managing director who was talking with some players, and they changed everything that we were doing in the past.”
"So, if you want to ask again what was going on, it's simple: they changed something and, at the end, they changed everything.”
"So, white liquid in a bottle: milk. You will know who is to blame." – Rafael Benitez
It’s not the right time to play the “blame” games. It’s time for the new owner to straighten things up at Liverpool Football Club. Is Roy Hodgson’s time as a Liverpool manager been numbered?
