The pilot who flew the plane with the message ‘Rodgers Out. Rafa In’ over Anfield has refused to give the name of the customer who hired the plane.

The plane flew over before the stadium before Liverpool's Premier League game with Queens Park Rangers on Saturday and became a hot topic on social media.

Some Liverpool fans believe the people behind the stunt are likely to be fans of a rival club rather than Reds and are keen for those behind it to go public but the pilot himself is giving little away.

He took to Twitter to say the customer has the right to remain unknown, but confirmed that it wasn’t bookmaker Paddy Power who some had put in the frame. He also tweeted the BBC to say it wasn’t a Manchester United fan who paid the plan and suggested it was paid for by a Liverpool season ticket holder in a separate tweet.

Brendan Rodgers saw the funny side of the plane and suggested it must be Benitez’s agent who had paid for it though adding that some people must have short memories, a reflection on Liverpool's superb season just 12 months earlier.

Jamie Carragher took to Twitter to have his say on the plane and said: "About to leave for Anfield. Hope this Rodgers banner supposedly flying over the ground is called off as it’s embarrassing to club & fans.”

Air Ads, the company who flew the plane also stated on their Twitter account that it was a Liverpool fan who paid for the plane to fly over Anfield.
