Don't take it personally mate. I love Rafa - honour his time at Liverpool. But he's not the man to lead us forward. I know all the positive arguments but they are outweighed by the negative. A new face with ideas could potentially mean winning the league... Rafa means being an also-ran.
Ever since he's left, I've wanted him to return at some point in the future - my benchmark was always when Stevie retires. At least part of me still thinks it's too soon, and I still have all the same doubts there about him, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him - and above all, the primary reason is that I genuinely don't see any better contenders at the moment. AVB? Martinez? I just don't know. Of course, I'd give my full backing to either of them, if they're appointed, and I have warmed to the idea of both of them, since the initial links, but I'm not sold on either of them completely at the moment.
