Rafa Watch

[Daffy Duck]

**** this ****.

[Nicey]

Bizarre that he's been out of the game for such a long time, especially given how he's manic about football.

You've people like Allardyce, McCarthy and Bruce who are seldom out of work, yet Rafa hasn't managed a club since 2010.

Guess he's waiting for the right offer - next job is going to be a big one for him in terms of building his reputation up again.

2 years is not a long time when you are a Millionaire

[Kenneth]

Yeah nice one JR, thanks for posting.

[Phoenix07]

Didi Hamann has always backed Rafa. Not exactly an objective point of view. Have to wait on Agger and see if anything comes out of it.

[JudgeRed]

Yeah, I was aware that most of the stuff was out there in some kind of rumour, but to hear it from someone who was there as it were, who knew those involved, thought might make it intersting for some. Does make me wonder about Stevie and Carra at times tho. He also said he rated Rodgers, who he says shares some similarities with Rafa like meticulousness, improving players etc.

[Lee]

Cheers for posting that, JR. Very interesting.

[peekay]

If we sell Agger for 20 million plus, that is 90 million (Torres, Mascher, Agger) we have got from selling the players he bought.

[Baracus]

Lets not Discuss the money he wasted then

[barnes10]

Agreed. No need to discuss this. Not many managers produce the results Rafa managed with the net spend he delivered against. Case closed really isn't it...

[Shaggy]

Plenty will argue otherwise but yeah, the longer we go on careering towards obscurity then it only highlights the great work he did with us, overall. Like Fanning said, in "six months time the Benitez era will seem like a golden period". He was right. Oh for those European nights again

[Lee]

Fanning was spot bollock on with that.

[Shaggy]

He was but as I said, I have mates who still don't think that's the case.

Ah well, to each his own.

Same, and these mates also think that Hodgson wasn't given long enough.

Rafa will always divide opinion for some reason. What he did for this club between 2004-2009 speaks for itself though.

Sorry it was not my intention to reopen the Rafa is great/**** discussion.

I know a lot of LFC fans think the same.

If we sell Reina, Skrtel, Lucas you can add another 50-60 million to that amount.

For a person who was so **** in the transfer market, not bad is it.

[Shaggy]

Not bad at all
