To be honest, the more I think about the prospect of Rafa returning, the more I want it. I think he's exactly what FSG would like. He's stats mad, he's a tactical genius, he has an eye for talent and he could attract top players to the club.
His love for the club is only second to Dalglish. Imagine what he could do with decent financial backing. Mouth watering.
no ..he filled the club with hundreds of foreign kids/journeymen etc. and he depressed the crap out of the squad of players he had. lets not forget that, players complained about boring defensive training. they all wanted him gone , apart from kuyt probably.
You're choosing to believe a lot of unfounded rumours. Let's form an opinion on him based on fact alone shall we?:
-won us our 5th european cup
-2 CL finals
-regularly competing in the CL due to high league finishes
-european supercup
-gave us players like torres, garcia, reina, agger, skrtel, alonso, mascherano, sissoko, crouch, fowler, arbeloa, kuyt, lucas....
-was the catalyst for H&G's departure
Why would you not want a bit of that again? There's every chance he'd have even more success with a board that don't undermine his plans and decisions and are more generous with the transfer funds.
Admittedly it went a bit downhill towards the very end, but is that surprising? His net spend for his last 2 years in charge was -£2.5m, yet he still finished 2nd and 7th!!!! Compare that to Mr dalglish's 2 league positions, 6th and 8th with much MUCH more funding!
