Rafa backs Kenny

Charly.

Reina supported Rafa 100% and still do.

Yeah, just saw it. Totally wrong. Fair comment about Gerrard and possibly Torres. Reina though, no chance.

Torres also backed Rafa so his comments is just plain daft.

I think everyone know which two players that didn't support him. Not telling any names but one of them is a Captain and the other one a vice Captain.

How would Torres, Gerrard and Reina feel about him coming back?

I did phrase this as a question. I was not making a statement. Just so you know, thats what a question mark means. :bird:

Reina I would believe, but Torres never looked particularly happy playing last season.

It pains me to say it but it wouldn't surprise me if Torres was fed up with Rafa too. Those rumours/so-called ITK claims about the politicking and bull****ting going on between Rafa/the fitness people & Purslow are very believable IMO.

I think that is a big reason why it went wrong at the end for Rafa and club, and why he can't back. Too much politcking, too many wars, too much division.

It's almost the opposite of Kenny, who seems to get on with everybody (even the bad old owners it seemed), and has a unifying presence.

If you read some Spanish interviews with Torres then there is no chance Torres was fed up with Rafa, no chance. Reading the English interviews doesn't exactly tell the truth. The Spanish ones is much more down to earth and honest.

I don't think it was Rafa's fault. It's unfair to judge him simply because we've got different owners now and the situation has completely changed. The one thing that distinguishes Kenny and Rafa though is that Kenny is less of a pragmatist, more of a romantic and this clearly connects well with everyone.

I don't think anything was ever Rafa's fault. It's unfair to judge him simply because we've got different owners now and the situation has completely changed. The one thing that distinguishes Kenny and Rafa though is that Kenny is less of a pragmatist, more of a romantic and this clearly connects well with everyone.

Even though it's not a word, that's actually the most sensible and coherent thing i've seen you post

I've never said this. Why would you want to polarise this discussion again?

Rafa was there during a really turbulent period for the club and everything started to get bad when Hicks and Gillett arrived. He was destined for greatness had it not been for them. We featured in 2 CL finals in his first 3 years.
