well it was houllier that invested big in the youth structure and he was useless too , so does houllier's legacy live on.
i don't agree that results since rafa left proved how good he was..in his last season we lost 20 games or something, and the squad and brand of football he left us with vile.
houllier left us in the champs league. so it was easy for rafa to build from there. anyone taking over from rafa was facing a massive uphill battle ,made even harder by this kind of hero worship. what rafa did to us was in the main damaging. and posts like this add to the myth that it was anything otherwise and make us look silly. ur man kane would love rafa back. and whilst i can't ever see fsg employing him, they are unpredictable so the anti-rafa campaign must go on.
Houlliers investment never paid off, it looks like Rafa's is starting to now. We were in the Champions league but we had a poor squad when Rafa came along. FSG hardly listen to you or me so don't delude yourself on that point.
Rafa winning the Champions League was damaging? Exposing Hicks, Gillette and Purslow for what they were about was damaging? Bringing in a completely new youth structure under Pep Segura was damaging?
What has damaged this club is the failure to build a new stadium to compete.
Posts that disparage one of our better managers make us look silly and bitter.
I don't want Rafa back and agree that he hasn't made it easier for incoming managers by his presence and eagerness for the job back but that doesn't take away from his achievements while at the club in any way
