nothing to do with the sake of it, I don't like his footballing philosophy at all, bad for the game.

We didn't/don't have access to the best players in the market so we had to adjust our tactics accordingly. The alternative would be to be like Wenger which ultimately played into the hands of Fergie and Mourinho. Fergie began to talk kindly of Wenger (cos he was no longer a threat) whilst Mourinho just totally disrespected him and Arsenal.

The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. Rafa did a great job in many respects but he also made quite a few mistakes. However, who doesn't make mistakes? Should we be so bitter against him? We're not even so bitter against Rodgers and Hodgson yet they didn't didn't do anywhere near as much for us as Rafa did.
On balance, he's seems a good bloke and acted in the best interests of LFC to the best of his abilities. I suggest we should therefore forgive and forget his shortcomings and be grateful for all the positive things he did for us. He'll forever be a welcome addition to the LFC family - a legend in his own lifetime. well surely that philosophy must go across the board for people who have done more good for the club than bad...Michael Owen springs to mind...

It's funny that his style of play gets slated though - he set his teams out to be solid, but it wasn't exactly "park the bus" type football.

Generally speaking, yes. We should be big hearted and ultimately let the negative bygones be bygones, whilst cherishing the positives. Life is too short. We'll always enjoy the memories of 2001 in which Owen plays a significant part. Only thing with Owen is that he took certain decisions that knowingly went against the interests of the club, i.e. the way he left and then joining you know who. However, even those indiscretions can be forgiven but may just take some people a little more time to do so. (btw, who was he supporting on Thurs?)

No it wasn't, I was lucky enough to be at Liverpool 4 Real Madrid 0 and then Man Utd 1 Liverpool 4 in the same week if I remember correctly. How that team with a spine of Reina, Carragher, Hyypia, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard and Torres didn't win the league I'll never know!

New Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has confirmed that there is a break clause in his contract should he not manage to keep the club in the Premier League.
However, the 55-year-old Spaniard, who will send out his team for the first time at leaders Leicester on Monday evening, is convinced it will not be used as he attempts to pull off a 10-game rescue mission.
Benitez, who has signed a three-year deal at St James’ Park, was speaking as he was unveiled to the media on Saturday afternoon.
Benitez said when asked about the clause: “Yes, but some people can see this as special, but it’s normal.
“I am coming here trying to do my best to stay in the Premier League and if I have a compromise for the future, it’s because I am convinced that we will do well. I want to stay here – that means that I want to win from Monday.”Full Read: http://www.teamtalk.com/news/rafael-benitez-confirms-get-out-clause-in-newcastle-contract
