lol

Regarding Rafa..
If he does get the opportunity to come back It may be a good thing because if he succeeds then great but if he fails we won't hear any more bring Rafa back when we decide to bring in the next new manager.

right now I would take rafa back but I think long term it is best to start a fresh at the end of the season with someone new.

Aquilani - Most of us here agree that he's a class above the rest in terms of technical ability. Was 20m a fair price to pay for him? Maybe a little over-priced but no way was he a dud. If he had been given a fair crack, I think he would have done well. And after 3 seasons, we should recoup half of what we paid for him.

Keane - It was not benitez's buy. Well documented. If anything, it's amazing how rafa managed to dupe spurs into buying him back for 12m. That must be the best sale of the decade.

Gonzalez - How much did he cost? 3m? FFS you call that waste of money? Ok it didn't pan out well but we did recoup money when we sold him.

Ok rafa has his fair share of below average buys but the important thing was that he was able move on the unsuccessful ones and cutting loss fast.

And by the way, his successful signings like torres, xabi, masch, arbeloa, all managed to sell on for huge profits and more than cover his 'dud' signing expenditure many times over.

You think we can do that with the 100m spent by commolli and KK?

Rafa bought us some very great players and some poor ones.

it balances it self out in my eyes.

No manager gets it right all the time.

the best ones get it right more often then not.

Kenny has failed here time and time again and at other clubs also.

laudrup is the obvious one for me. he isnt in employment so no big compensation to get him. and he's a top coach, and he likes LFC and would love to have a go in the PL. or rodgers, i personally wouldn't get him because he still has a lot to learn and swansea is a much better place for him to learn. i dont want mourinho or any other big name manager i think its time LFC as a club started thinking like a small ambitious club, not like a big club. mainly because we are a lot close to the former than we are to the later nowadays.

no matter what mate liverpool are a big big club.

and always will be

It's that type of arrogance and ignorance towards our current situation that will keep us there. we have to get our heads out of the clouds and start to really look at this team that are representing LFC at the minute and when i say team i mean comolli and his team, kenny and the coaches and the squad of players. and we have to be ruthless in the cull that is needed. and be big and brave with the solution and not just try and throw more money at the problem. what i think should happen is; we don't sign anyone this summer. we sell maxi, aurelio, aquilani, adam, poulsen etc. and promote coady, adorjan, ecclestone, suso, robinson, sterling; and try and rebuild this team from the ground up. im not saying we'd win the league by doing this. but without CL football we can only buy more of the downings and carrolls of this world. the only conceivable way we could buy better players is by offering them ridiculous wages and that doesn't ever seem to work out for us does it, i mean i really dont want more players like cole or (what was the serbians name ivanovic?). IMO its time for a big revolution at this club.

I repeat, no matter Liverpool are a big big club and always will be.

yes youth promotion would be good.


I cannot agree with you when you say we are not a big club.

suffering from bieng out of the champions league, yes but we can still attract world class players.

it all come down to will they want champions league football next season, or are the prepared to chance it and hope we make it there next season

I think .....
