KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa, God bless him, is still mental

He want's to manage us again - he doesn't know when - Kenny is doing ok, but he'll just have to keep tabs on the situation game by game - he'd have got 70 mil for Torres last summer .......

Has he gone completely insane?????

I'm not making this up btw

Please stay away Mr Benitez .

raffa probably wont manage us again,but you cant help but smile! the poor luv really does love lfc,its in his heart, cant slate him for that!

He had a good go and came up well short. Kenny has begun to rebuild the mess he left behind, so please Raffa, let it go.

Will always thank him for Istanbul and the "signing" of Kenny Dalglish. His handling of Alonso made Liverpool a much weaker side.

He's just saying that there were enquiries about torres for 70m last season which could be entirely true. What's so mental about that?

I'm not defending him but if he was just stating the facts then why fault him?

One thing for sure - He loves LFC and I respect him for that.

Whether he wants to be future manager of LFC is another matter altogether.

Agreed , you surely cant fault his love for the club and for that we must respect him

thats it, he loves the club, fans and the city

now he's seen how we moved for players in the transfer market i'm sure he'd be interested. if we'd have got some of the players he wanted to sign we'd still be up there right now. david villa, david silva, dani alves, marouane chamakh... im sure theres more he wanted to bring in but wasn't given the cash. and it was long before most clubs made moves for them.

he did buy a lot of crap but he was under a budget. he wheeled and dealed in the transfer market and we settled for too many squad players and the players that came in and did a decent job were shipped out. like crouch / alonso and arbeloa. big money signings like keane, johnson, babel and aquilani were poor. but he did bring in some good ones too like torres, mascherano, reina, alonso, arbeloa, sissoko, agger etc

i think it would be a step in the wrong direction to bring rafa back but we should have the upmost respect for him. to be fair when he was here we were up there challenging apart from his last season. but we are trying to build a team based on quality young players and i don't know if benitez would take to that or wether any of the fans would welcome him back.

kenny must be given the job full time providing he wants it. for me he optimises the liverpool football club of old and all of its fans. he's great to watch in interviews and he shares the mentality of the shankly way and all of the fans are on the same wave length

I'd have him along side kenny at the drop of a hat . Whatsmore Kenny probably would too.

if raffa came back in any capacity i would burst into tears.

we FINALLY have got outrselves on the road to recovery. ANY deviation from this, especially bringing back a manager from our dark era, would be utter fcking suicide and i would burn myself in protest.
