^You can expert in living in denial, we all know that. After what Benitez had acheived, and the turmoil he has brought to this club and then
Turmoil which Rafa has brought to the club? Excuse me?
cleverly blaming the owners who have provided enough money to him for his experiment and despite that all he has managed to do is assemble an average squad; now what he want? Another run at the same thing. I dont know about you but money dont grow on trees.
Enough money provided? The owners have done nothing but put debt on the club on their buyout, and put no damned money on the club. After the summer of 2008, Rafa has got NOTHING to spend on, and even in 2008 he had proceeds from players like Crouch to pay for players. Rafa couldn't even get his first choice Barry in 2008.
As for average players he has signed. Yes he has signed a lots of average players, most of them however were Bosmans and it's the fact that they were NOT his first choice. And name me a manager who has NOT signed an average player.
Rafa should also be given credit for excellent players he signed, Reina, Arbeloa, Agger, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Aurelio, Lucas, Kuyt, Sissoko, Mascherano, Luis Garcia, Alonso, Benayoun, Crouch, Torres, among others.
The owners are right not to trust him anymore. ANybody in their position will do the same thing. The whoel football fraternity knows that but only fans like you live in frogs in wells.
So what stopped them from sacking him immediately after the season ended? Or mid season for that matter? If they really cared for the club and wanted to sack Rafa for that matter he should have been sacked at that time but tell you what he wasn't sacked at that time and they are only trying to get rid of him so as to install a YES man in his position who won't interfere the way they are working.
LFC: You can do all your personal talk, but it doesnt change the fate of your club.
What personal talk? The way you dismissed another poster's post is actually lack of respect than anything else. I also remember you calling certain people "brain of pea size" or "kan***". So don't try to be good and act like an innocent child.
Finishing a poor 7th and yet talking "In Rafa we thrust"? Fans like you actually dont care for the club you support because you believe in doing the same thing all the time.
Oh really? Rafa didn't fail really before 2009/10 and that too when he had practically no net spend, and all of Spurs, Man City, and Aston Villa have spend more last two seasons than us. There was also board room politics all over the place and he has to contend with all the disrespect from people like you and the media which frankly I haven't seen any other manager disrespected in this manner.
When something didnt work, change is needed. And thats that.
And for that change to be effective, the club should have enough resources to back up the new manager. With the club being ripped apart from debt from where would the new manager get all the money now, particularly when there's no assurance that the proceeds from players sales would bolster the transfer funds rather than paying for the debts.
Taking no corrective measures only shows the lack of intent on your and your club's part Sacking a manager is not a blasphemy. .
The only intent from the owners and the board is to get rid of the "final thorn in their path" so that they can proceed with player sales and run the club as they like. And then they could install a yes man now and now have total control of the club.
Moratti is a fan of Rafa because of his defensive style which suits any Italian club to the T.
Nothing wrong with defensive style. Even Mourinho whom you want to succeed your own gaffer is a defensive manager.
The biggest problem with Rafa has always been his lack of Faith and Trust.
Lack of Faith and trust to whom? Ryan Babel? Oh please
Rafa did place trust on players like Masch, Lucas, Gerrard, Carragher, Reina, Torres...
I cant beleive you actually labelled 2nd position as shot in the pan
In hindsight, it was an over achievement which wasn't going to last forever.
Sensing the emotional breakdown of yours, the best solution i can give you is support some other team.
Get a grip of you lad
Unlike you sir I don't support my club for trophies. I just support my club. You are free do support your range of successful clubs, ManU, CFC, Inter
