I have had a lot of problems with the way Rafa managed things at times but I still have a profound sense of sadness about the whole thing.
If we were a cash-rich club I'd perhpas be saying yes, let's get rid, becuase we will easily attract a new manager who'll buy well and get us going - but wait, surely if we were that sort of club, then maybe Rafa himself might have been able to do it? We'll never know now.
The root cause of our problems is those two quick-buck, spin-merchant yanks who care so little about the club they compared us to their takeover of Weetabix. Money money money, what we as fans emotionally invest in, they see as just a greasy till to fumble in for pence and halfpence.
With those inveterate conmen in charge the very soul of the club is being walked on, it'll never be the same. Remember when we were proud to say we never washed our dirty linen in public and all that? Well there's filthy rags hanging from the rafters now. Stinks to high heaven.
These are very, very dark times, to have focused on the manager was just an example of looking in the wrong place for a solution when the real problem lies elsewhere. It's just moving the deckchairs on the Titanic is all. When we get our new man in, I fear we'll soon hanker for the old one - with all his many flaws - when we realise what a passionate committed job he was doing in the face of no support, broken promises, media leaks and two cuntbag owners whose sole pressing objective is not the restoration of our club or putting money in but instead to keep the music going long enough to collect a fat profit despite taking the club backwards.
The musing over Martin O'Neill makes me smile too. Hmmm...would we 'take him' or not? Laughable. O'Neill would be even more acerbic with the owners than Rafa was, is presently at a club that's way better run than ours and could well pass us out, and has ALREADY been pleading with his current Yank owner for more transfer funds. To think he'd deign to entertain the notion of joining a tin-pot nest of ****ing vipers like us is an example of our delusions of adequacy.
Today I'm truly, utterly and completely ashamed to the very core of what Liverpool FC has become, I really am.
