The then owners failed him, and us.

I think Rafas downfall at Liverpool had mostly to do with those two cowboys - unfair to judge that last season.


As well as senior players Stevie G and Carra who thought they knew best and undermined him.

do you seriously expect any manager to produce a title winning side under FSG whilst Mourinho is at Chelsea and United with their earning power?

Rafa had us in the top 4 for all but 1 of his 6 seasons with us. That is far from mediocrity compared to what has happened since.


2 seasons. We finished 5th in his first season.

He did win the European Cup in his first season but we still finished 5th, Everton came 4th if I remember correctly.
