What does it say about Rafa when...

[Guest]

Some people in here want Rafa to fail and Rashid is one of them.

[BFG]

There's an easier way to stop Rashid posting this **** than banning him and that's just ignoring him.

This thread is a prime example of what he wants to achieve, people rising to the 'controversial' things he posts. I seriously reckon this guy could get a job at sky. Merson, Gray, Keys and Rashid dream team.

Don't feed the troll

LOL

**** everyone else. I can see how far behind we were in terms of our squad and i can see what Rafa is building and his plan has been clear in development. I don't expect the less intelligent and less attentative people to understand that and i don't give a flying ****.

Rafa is a Legend and i wouldnt swap him for any manager in the world

Best post in the thread

A few things - Rafa doesn't deserve a new contract and he wouldn't be getting one without challenging for the title at any other top club in Europe. Maybe Wenger apart but Wenger spends **** all and helped them build a stadium with the spare cash.

I guess the expectations of our fans is rock bottom mainly due to having managers who are all nearly men when it comes to the league for the past 18 years.

I find the thread and the abuse laughable, leagues aren't won in November and Rafa needs to make a meaningful challenge for the title before crying in public about a new contract - I've never known any LFC manager to do this.

Bottom line is he has outspent United, Chelsea and Arsenal these past 2 years and outspent United and Arsenal these past 4 years - no excuses anymore is there? He has had time and money... instead he wants more time and more money (for himself).

You can argue with, but you can't argue with the facts. Would rival fans be crying into their beer if Rafa signs a new contract next? Would they ****.

As for praise, I always praise when things are going better, I have been praising him for the whole of this season for a great start - but we have had false dawns like this before - we need to challenge into May before contracts and millions in signing on fees are handed out.

Where are you getting your facts from? Both ManUre and Chelsea have spent loads more than us, maybe we have out spent Arsenal but what have they won in 4 years? Nothing! We have a european cup and FA cup.

Would the not very special one have won back to back titles if; 1. He didn't have so many Russian rubbles to spend OR 2. He'd joined Liverpool instead of Rafa and had out budget instead - I very much doubt it.

Rafa is suffering because of 20 years of mis-management by the senior people in the club, If we'd had anyone with half a business brain in the club in the early ninties we would be up there financially with manure, which would give us the resources to buy better players to compete.

Oh, and personally I would love it if Wenger signed a new contract, football has changed over the past couple of years and he is getting left behind, if he doesn't change his mindset and bring in 3 or 4 experienced players he will never win Arsenal another title.

At the end of the day we were 30 odd points off top struggling for 4th spot when he took over. Bar his first extra special season in charge we've not struggled to get in the top 4. You can't make those kind of points up in one season, especially when the teams that already had better players to begin with, keep adding better ones.

I'm not saying Rafa is perfect, but this post is completley disrespectfull. He has won the CL on his first attempt, FA cup second time round. Add to the mix a League cup final and another CL final, and a CL semi final, it's not bad. Very few managers in world football can boast that kind of record.

He is one of the top managers in the world, OK I think some of the things he does some times are plain crazy, but I think that would be the case regardless of who was in charge.

[EwarWoo]

Guys, there's no point trying to put Rafa's spending in perspective or show it as it actually is as he'll just ignore it and repost the same guff in about 2 pages time, we've been here before in another thread.

Like any naughty child it's better just to ignore him.

[slimbimjim]

Silly or not silly lets not fudge this issue. The point is he needs to show that he deserves a contract before crying about it and saying "I want it done quick" etc...

I think you need to start showing why you deserve to be on this forum. You're nothing but a negative ****ing whinger.

If you don't think he deserves a new contract then **** off and take your Richard Key's mentality with you.

[Nicey]

Has he been banned yet

[Elvoz]

Do you really think anyone gives a **** about other clubs managers signing contracts?I couldn't care less if domento and Wenger signed new contracts.In means **** all.

All i care about is how Liverpool do(sitting pretty at the top of the table)and our results.

Have a day off will you!You have been tolerated on this site because it's probably the most tolerant LFC site out there.That's why you keep coming back with you're garbage.You're too transparent for us now.

Another pathetic Rashid thread about his hate for Rafa, what a surprise, or maybe not.

Rashid, Rafa was up against the two richest club on the planet and he had himself around £15m net/season to spend the first years.

He also couldn't build a PL team, he had to build a CL team so he could get the money from the CL.

But why mention key things like that? It don't suit your agenda.

All of us only read your post because of the entertainment value, no one thinks that you add anything to the debate. Please keep on posting so we can laugh more

[friedk]

When other team's supporters at Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are desperate for him to sign a new contract?

I have to say I'd hate for Ferguson and Wenger to stay many more years at their clubs for obvious reasons despite the latter not having won much at Arsenal - I'd love it if Wenger left.

All my mates who support other clubs, all the ******s on other forums and in talk radio shows - they all seemt to want Rafa to stay...

Why?

Honestly, who gives a **** what those other supporters think?

If you want to know why, go and ask them.

Valid criticism is one thing, but a thread just to start an argument is another altogether.

You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

Give him an extra year now and see how this season progresses.
