Without going back to the Rafa debate 6 months or so after he left these things are clear -
1. As things were last summer it was right for him to go.
2. Hodgson has made us considerable worse.
3. Rafa returning would make us considerably better because he will have proper backing from the owners - not just financial but he wouldn't be embroiled with in fighting like he was with H&G.
and........
4. Imagine a Rafa Benitez Liverpool team with the signings he wants to make rather that 3rd or 4th choice, Rafa started to fail/suffer because of having to balance the books financially and because he got too caught up fighting against H&G and later on Purslow as well.
Take away having to sell some of our best players to balance the books, take away not fighting with the owners so he can concentrate solely on training.
And remember that he always fought our (the fans) corner, stood up to Fergie and the rest and made us 'proud' again
