Do you want Rafa back?

[Shaggy]

There was a twitter debate last night about the Montse thing - it is a fake.

I'm sure it is but how has that been verified? Tomkins, Boardman and a few other LFC peeps on Twitter (sorry, Tweeps ) seem to think "there is credence to it".

[Neil Young]

You could also argue that without the CL money, H&G could no longer finance their debts....

If it hadn't been for Benitez, Hicks and Gillett would have been forced to sell up long ago. Basically Rafa is to blame for keeping them at the club so long.



Over to you, Arn.

Rafa is back. At least back at home on the Wirral.

Tea for the Sky press eh? Has the crafty ****er learnt how to manipulate the press? Could have scored extra points with biccies.

I'd definitely take him back. In the summer I wasn't so sure we should keep him. I think his battles with the owners were having a negative influence on the team. I thought a fresh face would bring impetus to the squad and help smoove things over with the owners and help on the takeover side of things. That said, I didn't want just any mug in charge.

Anyhow, the ownership situation is sorted now. I would take Rafa back for sure. The only way he'd take it is if he could work with Comolli and was also happy with the owners short and long term vision. Those factors there are the only doubts I have, but if he came back I'd no they are not a problem.

Next point. People say some players MAY be against him coming back. Well **** them. They know where the door is. Whoever comes in, a number of players will be pissed off. When they don't play that's what tends to happen. I don't want us employing people just to please the players. This is Liverpool fc. The very notion of player power should never come into it.

Next point. He is a top class manager. He hasn't just had half a good season. He hasn't just won a league in Denmark, Portugal or Germany. He's won La Liga. Twice. He's not just took a team to a European final. He's not just done decent progression in Europe. He's won the European Super Cup. He's won the Uefa Cup. He's won the Champions League. He's took a team from an emerging side, to Europes number one ranked club. He is a tactical genius. He is big time. He is world class.

Next point. He loves Merseyside. He's here for Xmas. He kept his house. He's not lying when he says he loves the club and the people.

Finally. I want to win the league. Badly. But how much better would it feel to win it with Rafa and give a big **** You to the likes of Sky and Fleet Street? Ffs, I think I'd revel in that as much as I would in a title win.

I've convinced myself even more just writing all this. Do it. Bring him back.

Hollowman voted for him to come back.
