    I just think it's a case of having the fondest memories of someone when they're gone (I don't mean death here) scenario here. People will and rightly so remember those wonderful CL nights Rafa brought us, but lets face it, apart from the last 13 games or so during the 2008-09 season, where Rafa let the team of it's leash to express themselves, our football was absolutely drab at times .

    I also felt that Rafa's teams had too much respect for the likes of Stoke, Wigan, et al. which I believe cost us the league in 2008-09.

    How about the Lyon and Fiorentina matches? Your only as good as your last campaign.
    What a pathetic argument!! Seriously Rafa made us the number one side in Europe....number ONE!!! I wonder what number we are now!

    I don't want this to turn into another Rafa v Kenny debate, so I am going to leave it.

    Rafa was great for us in the main, love the man always will.
    Ir should never be a Kenny vs Rafa debate. After all, both of the men's mugs are on our legends banner, aren't they?

    The magic.

    Thinking that we might still win even when all seems lost.

    Playing good football.

    Beating Real Madrid 4-0 at Anfield.

    Constantly proving doubters wrong.

    Dont let those silly UEFA rankings fool you. They're nearly as bad the International rankings. It means F all really.

    We weren't the number one side in Europe when he left though?

    Basically we've maintained the status quo and remained the upper mid table side from when he left.

    Ok so what about going to the Nou Camp and winning or going to Milan and beating Inter. The list goes on mate. I'd have him back in a heartbeat!!

    Not the owners fault at all.
    And to fund them signings he had to sell,

    Leto £3m
    Arbeloa £3.5m
    Alonso £30m
    Dossena £4.4m
    Voronin £1.5m

    Total 42.4m

    In a window where he should have been given money to strengthen he was told he could only use what he brought in.

    We were 1 striker away from winning the title. If only H&G had money and Rafa did not fall into Fergie's mind game trap. SLUR ALEX is jerk ...can't wait for him to leave the game and straight into the coffin. Mourinho was the only coach who could give Fergie a taste of his own medicine.

    I always **** myself when Rafa's spending is brought into question. Had he had the backing Kenny has recieved we would have players like Silva, Jovetic, Dani Alves and Villa in our team.

    This bemuses me...What part of our players failing to find the net had anything to do with Fergie?

    We sold:

    1. Torres £50m
    2. Babel £7m
    3. Meireles £12m

    As well as clearing a large portion of the wage bill to fund those purchases.

    Agreed, with the backing Kenny has had i truely believe we would even have Barca+Madrid worried by now aswell.

    Such a crying shame, we can only hope the owners see sense and get Rafa back, but i'm worried they will look elsewhere TBH.

    On LFCTV right now they're showing the 4-2 CL game v Arsenal.

    Oh what a game that was!

    Kop was bouncing, had a great night.
