Im with JoeCool (strange, i know), the man who sent Liverpool Football Club in to real decline was Kenny Dalglish. A great man, legendary man, but when he took the reigns late 80's thats when we really went downhill, he then came back and steadied the ship to some extent, but set us back to before Rafa's time with terrible, dross signings. I dont think Rafa started the decline as he left a squad including Gerrard, Agger, Skrtel, Reina, Johnson, Lucas, Torres etc. Dont understand how this is in any way a decline, he also found out our old owners before anyone else did, so again i dont understand how he started the decline. I agree with both sides to an extent but Faz to be fair Rafa has done so much for club and city and to hear a Liverpool fan talk about him like u do is quiet alarming.
i would agree with that assessment but would add poor owners and lack of infrastruture investment. no way did our decline start with rafa it was 15 years before that
