Liverpool Boss Rafael Benitez Is Tipped For The Chop After Defeat At Portsmouth
Bookmakers slash odds on Spaniard losing his job
EPL: Rafael Benitez, Portsmouth v Liverpool (Getty Images)Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is now 9/1 to lose his job before the turn of the year, thanks to his side's 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth on Saturday.
Manager Benitez, who this week "guaranteed" that his side will finish fourth in the Premier League, is a front-runner to be fired, after five years in the hot seat at Anfield.
Bookmakers William Hill are also offering 13/8 that Liverpool will finish in the top four and 4/9 that they will not after their 2-0 defeat at bottom-of-the-table Pompey.
"Rafa's guarantee has a hollow ring to it after the defeat by Portsmouth," William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe told sportinglife.com.
"We are now offering just 7/1 that Liverpool finish in the bottom half of the table," he added.

Rafa is safe from the chop as the owners do not have the money to pay him and his coaches, so they have to make do with him.
