First Liverpool legend to stick the knife into Kop boss Rafa

deathwish SG

I think if pool change manager half the team would be sold and a major rebuilding needed

charlize SG

Taking off Torres was bad enough.

He took off essentially his entire strike force - players who could score.

Cries SG

the only few player in liverpool that are good enough is torres, reina, benayoun and gerrard. the rest should go.

1stly, will there be any interested buyers? 2ndly, it will only serve to worsen the depth problem in the squad. 3rdly, we would not have enuff $$ to even buy a quality 1st team players and add a few more quality squad players..

sg_forum SG

Rafa got enough money to buy quality players but he chose to buy quantity instead...he wanted to do Wenger but sadly Wenger bought gem and Rafa bought dud.

Liverpool has the biggest squad in EPL...

limpper SG

i would wish for anything to happen to get rafael out

Rooney9 SG

if RM comes in for him again, I think he would leave.

limpper SG

even if rm dont come in again for him, i hope he leaves

Rooney9 SG

How can he leave w/o a job lol. even if he is sacked, he is compensated. resign means he get nothing lol. so he is waiting to be sacked.

limpper SG

im willing to part with our jan transfer funds and ask him to leave.

i tink he wanted better players, but did nt have enuff $$ at tt crucial pt..so he may have no choice bt to gt youth players..

well, i also depends on the master craftsman's skill to polish an uncut diamond, right? Wenger did buy Pennant too, that did not turn out right?So there are hits/misses all round. But lately, Wenger seems to be on a roll, producing quality after quality.

hmm.. I thought, the managers will often draw up a list of desirables before the season start, so the club people can work on them?

and furthermore, Rafa has not been given peanuts to work with during his reign in Pool. Of course, we can't compare to the super rich like Chelsea or City. C&C.

lol

C&C enterprise?

sg_forum SG

Yes, it definitely depends on the polishing skills...like you said, wenger bought pennant...and so did Rafa after that thinking that he might do what Wenger can't...LOL

Babel should be a good player and has a great potential but he will never perform to his max under Rafa...

sure...u r not wrong.. the problem is when u r given a budget abt 20 million per season n u r expected to beef up the squad, do u rather get one very gd player and get nobody else or one normal player and some squad player ? n it has been shown sometimes he's forced to gt his 2nd choice as shown in the robbie keane and gareth barry saga..

charleslee SG

it also helps when his scouting network is freaking gd and the owners trust him a lot as compared to liverpool..

charleslee SG

if RM comes in for him again, I think he would leave.

tt one must see...coz' unless benitez pulls off yet another miracle, i dun really see RM coming for him yet..

why is that? cause Rafa doesn't give him the confidence or just becos rafa doesn't play him week in, week out?

not easy to be manager, U have to get readied players to perform, and also develop players.. tiring.

iceFatboy SG

well, to be fair, he did get who he wanted in Torres, not too sure about Keane, and Barry. To be fair, I feel the Barry saga got messy and hence compromised the transfer. Ultimately, he lost Xavi.

yes, he got 20m. On one hand, i feel he has to know how to utilise what he got, and know where to sell/buy. No point challenging the rich A** right?

secondly, Liverpool itself is a brand name, not sure whether he leverage on that or not.
