A Merseyside Police statement said: "We can confirm police are investigating reports of a threatening banner at a location in Caldy today, Monday 28 June. "At around 7am, it was reported that a banner made from bed sheets had been placed over a wall and bushes on a residential driveway, with wording which is thought to target football manager Rafa Benitez." Due to the football language used, we suspect that it was aimed at Rafa Benitez - but whoever placed the message left it outside the wrong house. The Toffees have been also linked with former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo after Carlo Ancelotti unexpectedly left to re-join Real Madrid earlier this month.
