Not poor old Rafa, not poor old Alonso. They're both grown men, were highly paid, and both did good things, and both did bad things. I just don't see it as all one way. You always seem to see it only one way, never the big picture. Alonso is a saint and Rafa is the nasty boss.
Alonso had a great job at Liverpool, a job most in this country would kill for. It's not UNTENABLE. That's a joke. If he decided he wanted to move, didn't get along with the boss, didn't like the working conditions or just missed home, that's all well and good, this is normal in life, he made the decision. Lets not pretend otherwise, he handed in his notice.
The only good season Alsonso had at Liverpool was the one that he was looking for a transfer.
