so i started my first game of fm2008 and inthe first season liverpool finished about 15th and flirted with relegation, benitez got sacked mid way thru too.
I started a new game a couple of days ago and benitez was sacked by november 17th place! they have just sacked his replacement in feb! two games and two massively dissapointing campaign for liverpool has anyone else experienced this? btw in both games i was west ham
I've just finished my first season with the 8.0.1 patch play as Liverpool.
I am dissapointed to say we finished far below where I expected us to end up. A miserable 2nd place.
As for Starr_Man5, sacking Rafa at the moment will be, in my opinion, a big mistake. I feel you underestimate both Rafa and the potential he has spent time developing at the club. Although I am not expecting us to win the league this year, I do believe we will win it within the next two and a half seasons if Rafa is given time to finish what he has started. This is the first season he was allowed to spend a large sum of money on one player. That player was Torres. He also brought in Lucas and Babel for what I feel will prove to be a very measly sum indeed. If this trend continues, these players fulfil the potential they have already shown at a young age and Rafa continues to bring in very good young talent, the future is very Red indeed.

Don't worry about what Starr Man says he knows nothing
Yeah it's strange, Liverpool always seem to do really badly and sack Rafa when controlled by the AI...which is painful to watch as I'm a Liverpool supporter.
One time they sacked Rafa after 30 matches and Liverpool were in 7th place. They hired Javier Aguirre, his first match in charge was a 7-0 loss to Man Utd!
Benitez is still manager in my game in 2012. Results hover between 6th and 3rd. However, Blackburn seem to be given this curse, with Hughes being sacked (and then appointed man utd manager!!). Blackburn now mid-table in Championship

So why aren't you liverpool manager!! Save them! Although as a Chelsea supporter i'd rather you didn't!
