congrats to West Ham.  I guess?  Not a fan but...

Ha ha, I do feel that West Ham is a club that should be in the top flight.

I am not wild on the idea of Rafa myself. He was clearly one of LFC's most successful managers, he knows the club and is well qualified. But that is half the problem really, you cant go on living on past glories and the expectations of many of the supporters in Rafa are so ridiculously high it can only lead to disappointment down the road. I think a clean break from the past would be good for the club.
Still worst than Rafa I feel would be to get a manager like Capello who is 65, the embodiment of the past, and close to retirement.
Hopefully we will get a young up and coming manager. AVB would be ideal.
So Rafa ''was clearly one of LFC's most successful managers'', Abrak. I do see why Blue Kipper describes kopites as deluded.

Please clarify how long he was there and what he won, (and that was with someone else's team).


He won a few trophies plus charity shield.  Got us in a few more finals as well.  If you look at win percentage, yes he's right up there with the best LFC managers.  Only minus is no league trophy though came very close and should have won a couple more of those finals.

Them's the "facts."

Fans (non LFC fans especially) just love to slate Rafa as he wasn't too personable, is a bit odd, and he's Spanish, in my opinion.  Very few take the time to actually look at the statistics.

Not sure I'd want him back, though, he kind of came full circle.  Didn't get top 4 in his first season and his last season.

As for AVB, what has he done?

He got it all wrong at Chelsea, clearly.

He had one great, and yes it was great, season in Portugal.  Unbeaten in the league and won the Europa League if I remember correctly.   And that's about it.  One great season plus one failed half to three quarters season at Chelsea.  That's his pedigree.  Nothing against him, as he's so young that's all he's had time to do.

Hmm, maybe we should get him though as then he could easily persuade Falcao to join.

Interesting to see 47% of Liverpool fans want Rafa back with AVB coming a close second with 15%. On LFCTV forum.
And 100% of Everton fans want to see Rafa back, longstebe.Posted Image

Yes, because Everton did so well against us when Rafa was at the helm. Oh wait, it was only his first season that they finished above us and even that season we won the Champions League so uh, why exactly did Evertonians want us to have Rafa again?  So they could go back to finishing below us every season?  I know, it just doesn't seem right to finish above Liverpool, and they want to be relegated to their rightful place.
