Est 1892 - Pro or Anti Rafa site?

[pezzzer]

just pointing out what particular posters are pro or anti rafa. you would be the first to admit your anti, craig.

So are you going to change your sig Craig?

Why change it? I'd still like a manager who represents the attitudes i feel are required to succeed in the PL.

Depends what you mean by anti-rafa.

So you dont think Rafa will do that? I thought I detected a change in your stance on Rafa which is why I asked the question.

No i dont think he will.

Out of 6 seasons in charge, he spend 3 months adopting the mentality which (IMO) is required to succeed at the top end of the PL.

If he was going to do it (permanently), he'd have done it by now. Even towards the end of this season just gone, when we were staring down the barrel of 7th place, he still had us playing slow tempo, rigid, dire, cautious football. If the prospect of finishing a disgraceful 7th didnt change his philosophies, nothing will.

I would have loved Mourinho to be our manager, yes. But obviously he didnt, so obviously the scenario is altered.

So move on fella.....................by the way are you paid to argue with other folks on here?...................If so.......your ripping est off

Rafa is the manager so unless we are all going to do a parry ...............lets get behind him or comment on the other useless threads on here about Rafa

Appoligies ......................if I offended anyone........freindly banter was the intention and not antagonism

i'm torn.....

part of me thinks he should go - i have been frustrated with him for a while, i think he has made some major mistakes and i do feel that another manager (who i don't know which i'll get to in a minute) with the same squad would have got 4th this season. I also feel that a fresh manager could revitalise the current squad and kick start us next season. On top of that, one of the the things i want to see next year, with our lack of depth in the squad, is the main key players focused solely on the 38 league games to give us the best chance of getting back in the top 4 - with the cup and europa games being used for squad and youth. - Sadly though i know thats not how rafa works and i'm fully expecting him if he is still here to play the best XI in a ****ty europa game on a thursday, then come the sunday in the league the same players look jaded and we draw 0-0 at home to blackpool

Thats my arguements for rafa going, but on the other hand

I really the guy, i feel he has took so much **** and most of it undeserved fromt the owners and the press, plus other managers that i would love him to succeed and stick two fingers up at them....plus I also fear, that if he was to go, with our current owners still here, then things could go even worse. Rafa will fight these owners tooth and nail.......if he left, i am convinced they would bring in a yes man which would be disastrious.

I'm thinking - if he got new decent owners then i would like to see a new manager and have a total fresh start.

If the owners stay, i'm scared of what would happen if rafa left

Its hard to fault your post as I was another who said judge him at the end of the season. If I was as good as my word id want him gone pronto however I just cant stop thinking if we were a better run outfit then things would improve everywhere including on the pitch results. Regardless of whether Rafa has failed in his duty or not there's no escaping the fact that he has a ready made excuse (which may or may not be legitimate) for when he leaves/gets sacked.

I would love to see him have a few seasons with which to judge him purely on his results, none of this bull**** political maneuvering that has become such a day to day part of Liverpool.
