Is Jimmie a Manc in disguise?

i am wondering coz they are all desperate for rafa to stay lol

Only joking Jimmie lad.. everyones entitled to their opinion but majority of LFC supporters wont agree on this one.. sorry..

Lots of knee jerk responses here.

Frankly i dont support Rafa only the club these days. Some may look at it as being interconnected but i choose to see them as different states of mind. Deluded, well maybe. Being a liverpool fan does that to your sometimes

anyway, the club does not have a choice here. Sack Rafa causes further disruption in an already terrible season. Plus there is a huge financial compensation which we can afford. The minimal for this club at the current state is Champions League qualification. If we dont get that this season, the club and the owners need to rethink Rafa's position. Now is not the right time to change managers and being Liverpool, we have always extended far greater patience than other clubs...

Right now, we gotta take it in the chin and look forward to the next game.

Simply put Rafa has not made very many good buys, so the squad is not very deep on really top class talent. We all know this and have known it for a few years. I like Yossi very much, but if he is perhaps our third or forth best player that is very sad. The buying of Alberto Aquilani was probably not a great move given his injury history and the fact we have played more than 1/4 of the season and there is no sign of him yet. We need to attract better players and perhaps Rafa is not the man to do this and perhaps the owners don't have the funds. Most likely it is a combination of both. We do need a change at the top. Rafa should go and the Americans also. José Mourinho anyone?

ok so sacking raffa is only going to worsen the problem. lets make that decision next summer. im not sure where half the squad was yesterday, it was a poor 11. that said we had a good first half and fell apart in the second. the score flatters fulham cause we were chasing a game with nine men. fulham arent that bad by the way, draw against city last week.
the amount of knee jerk reactions and crazy theories ive read over the forum since the game is laughable. Gerrard is not going anywhere. possible op on the way which im sure he hates having to undergo because he wants to be there for liverpool but also has WC on the way. As for suggestions that raffa is purposely losing s he can get sacked to go to madrid is senseless. after the man utd game everyone was feeling more focused, abut now have COMPLETELY swung back to total dismay.
the fact is, no manager is going to overhaul the squad mid season, so perhaps we need to show a little support and restraint. ya dont have to love raff, just support the club for now, because if he DOES go, you can say goodbye to torres, and probably acquilanni who i still believe is going to have a great season. and we will then have a chaotic few months of doubt, temp management and setttling in periods which wont improve things. stuff like that is for the summer.
we need to stop losing the plot everytime things dont go our way. i know everyone is hurting after sat, so am i, but we have to get out of this situation the smart way, and sacking raffa tomorrow is not the answer. if we lose 5 or 6 games with a full squad, then we pull the plug on him. we can still progress in the CL and the league is not over till its over. we have to at least guarantee CL footie next year, sacking the manager now is not the way to achieve it. lets solve problems with our heads, not with anger.

seems the best way for us right now i feel....even if he cant improve things....

its more than i knee jerk reaction,there are alot of LFC fans who have been getting very frustrated for a long time but were not ready to completely give up on Rafa just yet,but after yesterdays result following what we have already seen this season alot of fans have had enough.everyone wanted to see rafa restore the club to what it was but lets be honest he has done all he can.a manager is judged on his signings and the team he builds.this team and his signings are not good enough to take us where we need to be.its always a risk changing the manager mid-season but would you rather a new man has time to asses the current squad before bringing in his own players or wait till the summer when he would have to move very fast in the transfer market?i would take the plunge and make the change now.

To be fair look at spurs last season they sacked early and harry did a good job. If it wasn't for the huge package that rafa would get then I would agree. Cuz sometimes change can be a good thing and to be honest can it get any worse then it already is.

exactly rafarendum....we dont want such big heads
