Enough ?

King Kenny till the end of the season. Atleast he could pick a good line-up and give them some direction. Short-term solution till the summer

If any player doesn't want to play for Rafa then they can **** right off. All this bull**** about players not wanting to play for the boss pisses me off. They should remember that they are playing for Liverpool FC. This club will always be bigger than any player/manager.

Besides most of them aren't worthy to wear the Liverpool shirt. Kuyt and Insua need to take a long hard look at themselves as that was some of the worst performances I have ever seen any play for Liverpool. Insua needs a long break from the team (he wouldn't even be good enough for the reserves at the moment) and the sooner Maxi is fit enough to replace Kuyt the better. Babel can piss off too!

the thing is who would come in? There are few managers would take the job right now.

Hiddink is available - i'd bust a gut to get him in, at least then the players would try

[tsb]

My kneejerk reaction is he's had his time.

Sadly I think this will still be my stance after the dust has settled.

i think the biggest problem is SOS because they are right behind rafa. If they let him go then they got a PR nightmare heading their way even though SOS dont speak for ALL Liverpool fans like they think they do.

SOS are a joke.

I think there is more to the Gerrard withdrawl than is being touted ,

1 How the **** to your hamstring go getting back ready for the 2nd half?

2 Why was Purselow answering the reporter and giving an update on the Gerrard withdrawl, surely the CEO would be in the directors box having a sarnie and not in the dressing room area .

Watch this space

Forgive the spelling Im pissed off

That's what I thought aswell, he looked OK going off after the 1st half didn't he? And Babel was nowhere near ready to come on.

[calvoboy]

the criteria by which he is judged successful changes almost evert week. Last week is was win the FA cup, win the europa and 4th place and he should be given another season.

Now its win the europa and finish fourth. In a month or so it will be finish 4th and he gets another season.

At what point is enough enough ?

When there's a viable better alternative. Changing managers mid-season never works as a general rule, and who's available at the moment who would inherit this squad, with no money to add to it, and would lead us to 4th against Man City, Villa and Spurs.

To be honest, I'd probably give him another season if he manages to turn this round and finish 4th regardless of the Europa cup, as it would mean putting together a consistent run of decent form, but we sacked Houllier for achieving 4th after a similar difficult season.

[El Diego]

I am 60/40 for Rafa to stay, lets just wait till the end of the season.

[billd]

But why ? We wont finish 4th if he stays.

If Kenny took over until the end of the season at least the players would want to play for him.

If you were Dalglish, would you want to take over this lot?

[Icon]

There will be a press conf. real soon.

And Kenny will be in it.

[shanklyn]

He has to go, we have become a laughing stock. No way will we finish fourth like this.

the Americans are responsible for everything including global warming according to SOS.


Rafa's interview was very uncomfortable. Red faced, quiet and sheepish. Almost incoherent. Not his usual self at all.

[Molby]

But why ? We wont finish 4th if he stays.

If Kenny took over until the end of the season at least the players would want to play for him.

Simple. He (and his backroom team) signed expensive long term contracts last season, it would cost a mint to sack him.

If he had any balls, or true love for our club, he would resign. He's lost it.

Adios Rafa, thanks for Istanbul, but Adios.

Im ****ing gutted. I love rafa but it has just fell apart. As much as it hurts we have to do what's best for LFC. ****ing gutted. If a player does not want to play for the manager they can **** off out of the club as it is like a cancer that spreads and i include Gerrard and anyone else.
