Is this the end for Rafa?

I don't have much time today, but I couldn't resist this quick thought... Is this the end of the road for Liverpool Manager Rafa Benitez? After another lacklustre performance from his multi-million Pound team, the Reds were dumped out of the FA Cup by lowly Reading FC today.

So following an abysmal EPL season, failing to qualify for the latter rounds of the Champions League, and now losing to a lower division team in the FA Cup, surely the patience of the American owners' of this once proud Football Club must be wearing thin...

This defeat is reminiscent of a famous game at Anfield in 1994 (video below) in which lowly Bristol City sent mighty Liverpool out of the FA Cup; that defeat saw the end of then Liverpool Manager Graeme Souness. I was lucky enough to be at that game, supporting my local team at the time, the mighty Bristol City! 

So what money on Rafa being gone before the end of January? And if so, who's next in the hot seat?
