Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has suspended betting on Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez leaving the Premier League club after a flood of bets yesterday afternoon.

At the start of the day the Liverpool boss had been a 22/1 outsider to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job but a betting plunge pushed Rafa's odds all the way down to 7/1 before the bookie pulled the plug at 4/1.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: "A rumour of some kind has spread like wildfire – we don’t know what’s behind it but something looks to have happened at Anfield for such a sustained level of requests for the Benitez boot."

Whether the betting plunge is a result of rumours on a hot summer's day in pub gardens or if Rafa had thrown his toys out of the pram again remains to be seen. Liverpool's apparent lack of transfer funds would certainly appear to give the betting some credence.

Paul Hart at Portsmouth had been the 3/1 betting favourite prior to the Benitez run.
