And then proceeded to mess up? His final season was a shambles, filled with mistakes.

We deserve better, we must go out and get the best of the best. Tired of waiting and building and rebuilding, it's time to kick arse and be done with it.

Of course he has our respect but even in that season we finishe outside the top 4.

+1

This is no time to be sentimental, we tried that with Kenny and failed.

It seems to me that there are 3 front runners at the moment, Rafa, AVB and lastly Martinez.

AVB: I've already made my views on this overhyped manager before, has almost zero experience as a professional manager, its a big no for me.

Rafa: Love the man, respect him a lot but lets not forget he did have a lot of baggage with him, I would welcome his return on the emphasis that he will do well with the fresh new owners, I'm on the fenc ewith this one 50.50.

Martinez: A fresh new face that will bring his own backroom staff, his own assistant etc, a manager who has not managed liverpool before(phew). I regard him as one of the best 'young' managers out there, he seems to get his teams playing good football, finished only a few points behind us with a limited team. I think this is the 'safe' choice for me, he is very humble as well and not one of those managers that seems to cause trouble inside the club. I would be happy if he is appointed as its a new direction the club will be taking.

One of the obvious plus sides to Raffa coming back would be that he wont have to rip the team apart to put his stamp on it - he is familiar with most of the squad and will already know who he can use and who he can't - not to mention his ruthless streak, believe he'll have no problems moving the "old legs" on without sentiment (Owen / Murphy) If he's to come back, it's now or never IMO - think you'll find he would bring the best out of Henderson / Downing / Carroll too... our squad has a lot more potential than it's given..

Meh, what do I know..

if rafa came back carra is gone and gerrard will have to step his game up also

Houllier won a treble! Let's get him in!

never go back, i don't how some posters say that Kenny was sentimental move and yet they want rafa back

Sure that more sentiment as well

We need a none Liverpool guy or can come in and start to move us forward

What do we feel about brendan rodgers?

Well he has done OK and Swansea play good football
