I think it's weird that many come on here and bash either of them. It isn't necessary and is disrespectful to two great servants of this club.

I find it more weird that people will make things up out of thin air to bash either of them.

Hmm...Interesting point of view. Today's news was a bit of a suprise TBH. Now it either means KK is staying for one more season pending on how successful we are or Rafa could be back this summer. In all honesty it could mean anything.

The good news I guess is that our owners are looking to spend this summer and spend BIG!

All's I will say is I can't imagine the players who would be playing for us right now had Rafa had the financial backing of John Henry.

Perhaps we'll see a couple of keanes and a few dossenas and a handful of degens on the payroll.

What do you think?

Was Rafa's achievement even bigger than we give him credit for?

No, it was the mistake of being too cautious against lesser sides that ended up a handful of draws.

Or maybe a Torres, Mascherano, Alonso, Agger, Skrtel or Lucas?

To achieve 1 of those, he's got to purchase handful lot of the above-mentioned previous post.

Not if he's given actual money to spend.

The point has clearly gone above your head.

We have to be realistic, we aren't madrid or Scums that have a huge commercial revenue, we need to work on a lesser budget.

Of course you didn't as it would contradict your previous statement.

Exactly.

**AlessoAfrojackAvicii** · 15-4-12,11:13

Rafa will be there today. He's a legend. YNWA Rafa, YNWA the 96.

All this nonsense about Rafa failing due to lack of transfer money is wrong. When he took over he wasn't under any illusion that he would be given millions of pounds to spend.

In a interview with Rafa's chief scout, Eduardo Macia in 2008 he says this.

" Valencia's success in La Liga is made all the more impressive when you consider the opposition we finished ahead of. It was done despite the fact that Barcelona, Real, Deportivo & Athletico all had more money then us, but we were working with a clear idea & got it right. Now we want to do the same here at Liverpool. To be perfectly honest it's not possible for us to spend £200 million pounds to win the Premier league. We can't do that so we have to find another way. Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher & Sami Hyppia are all fantastic veterans. We have added to that group in the right way. Rafa is happy with the young players coming through"

It's obviously clear that Rafa thought he could do at Liverpool what he had done at Valencia but got caught short. Then made excuses when he failed.
