KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum RAFA - It wouldn't work

People on here seem to favour a return. I would love to say that this would be the ideal solution, but the truth is, it wouldn't.

People need to remember what actually happened during rafas reign. At one point, he had it to a tee, we were on the verge of something special, we had world class players in Torres, Stevie, Masch, Alonso, Carra.

1 season, 1 season of serious backing in the transfer market and we were there. It wasn't that rafas 1st choice signings were crap, it was that he never got most of them, due to a lack of backing.

Ring any bells?, think FSG would be any different?, no chance. BR put himself in the same position as rafa, aside of the fact that BR was given the 130m rafa never had, albeit, he lost suarez.

But my oh my has he wasted it. On a total crock of sh*t. Truth is, BR dug his own grave, bigtime, i will not have any of the "transfer committee" bull thats flying around, as he shouldn't have signed the new contract, if he didn't have final say, which is exactly what he said he wouldn't do.

Rafas legacy was that he won the champions league, with the equivalent in quality, of the team BR has had this season. Traore, cisse, biscan etc. Although I would love for him to return, if for nothing else, just to sort that pathetic defence which BR is completely incapable of.

and 1 last point, Joe allen - please leave our club. I don't even want to go into slagging him off, just that is enough, as he really isnt worth the keyboard time.

Somebody on here asked the other day, whether we would prefer to return to the dull football and the 1-0 wins. My answer is simple, give me dull football every day of the week, compared to the horsesh*t we are displaying now.

There are too many variables we don't know for this to be an honest discussion for an appointment over a number of years, but what I do know is that he would manage to get a damn sight more out of this squad than BR is doing at present.

IF we lose to United and things quickly deteriorate further, we could quite easily see ourselves in a relegation fight. Damn glad I took that 1000-1 bet at a tenner someone mentioned.

If we are going down it won't only be BR and the players getting a golden parachute. I'll be able to console myself with a bottle or two of Springbank 12 without a care in the world.

Wish I'd chucked a tenner on at those odds

I think it would work, as he has a track record of success. Of course, I may be wrong.

BUT it would at the very least give us hope and make us have optimism for the future rather than this...

I dont know about you , but when I look into the future with BR I see misery and dispair. I hate even wacthing us atm, its like a train crash in slow motion(and those interviews!).

The romantic in me wants to hear Anfield roar with hope, conviction and approval as Rafa the emperor returns to his rightful place.

Rafa had one really good season that HE fukked up with his rant against Bacon Face. He might do better but there is no way we can assume he will.

I'd try and get Simeone if we were to drop Rodgers (which we won't as FSG would have to pay him compo). But he'd never leave Atletico for this pile of dog turd! All we can look forward to is another young yes man I'm afraid.

i would disagree, i thought the season we won the European Cup wasnt bad.

That was on paper a cheaper squad then what we put out last night.

Well at least he managed to keep us in the ECL apart from the first and last season.

But I think we would have won the league if he'd just kept his big mouth shut. There was no need for that 'fact' rant and Fergie knew he'd won it there and then.

He hasn't got a track record of success, he has a track record of some success and some failure. Particularly where he's gone since Liverpool where he has had incredibly expensively assembled teams that he's won the more minor cups with at best. the fans and players haven't liked him on the whole as well.

Now we've hit that nail on the head, to the more subjective nature of why I don't think he should be reappointed. Going backwards rarely works unless it is a world class manager like Mourinho, we need to go for someone proven if we are to swap BR out, and Rafa is not proven at all.

Don't have any faith in FSG appointing the right man at all. It will first mean a complete U-Turn on their sporting success ethos tosh or every 'proven' manager will be sticking the fingers up to the rules of the club. And with a big reputation on the line who would blame them?
