My question is why didnt they just contact Rafa atleast for formality even if they didnt want him??? its crazy cos i think if they wld have,he wld never have taken the Chelsea job but now the man is off to Chelsea,abt to win the world club cup and i bet u they might win uefa cup as well with El nino back in good form and another striker. Well there goes our chance of ever bringign him back to Anfield....Im tired of this BR guy...too many damn excuses. He is not the only coach who has gone to a club. Look at Steve Clark who left us as an assistant....BR is a talker...we need a walker
