great journalism.

The americans need to put the pressure on Rafa to deliver the title each and every season, that's the least that we expect at LFC.

Is the right answer

I read the article by Maddock and have to say it's accurate in every word. When you spend that much money you are expected to win trophys.
Rafa is not stupid, he knows that and he knows the expectations at LFC or else he would have never accepted the job.
Furthermore, if some of you do not know how American owners operate you should follow a bit of North American Sports a bit more.
Some owners are notorious of firing/hiring Gm's and coaches(thats what managers are called in N American sports) when things do not go accordingly.
Now I'm not saying that Hicks & Gillete will do that but you expect a return on your big investment in every business.
I have no doubt that Benitez will deliver #19 either this season or next one, in addition to a cup or two.

We're at 25's to do the double this season with Voronin at 100's to be EPL top scorer worth a fiver each, although I don't usually bet I have put money on us to win the title and this was before we signed anyone.
