well????

I certainly don't like the idea of one man having control of a whole colour and its various shades! He may start asking for permissin and even charging companies like coca cola or even dr pepper to use it! :shock: What if he gets cocky and demands mone from Santa clause!?! absolute mayhem!

I for one don't like your horrifying ideas young man!

hes gone to pot with the reds, but then he may screw back for the yellow, green, brown, blue ,pink or even the black

acidstrato

if he is then he'll be bloody lucky, mark hughes wasnt so lucky and his team are above us!

but in the instance that he is, short of winning the europa cup he'll be finished by May and hopefully a british, liverpool legend will be brought in. keegan be my choice but i reckon daglish could be moved up

Wonder what the odds are on Benitez out, Hughes In?

that would be a huge mistake, and an ex united player managing liverpool doesn't seem 'on' to me. I think Rafa has some good things going but needs investment in 3 areas to get to the 'title winning' level. He needs a second proven goalscorer. Chelski have Anelka and drogba, utd had rooney & ronaldo, even the blackburn team of 95 had shearer & sutton.

They need to sort the left wing out, Mata from my spanish team, Valencia, would do this job. He scores goals too and is excellent.

Defence. They need a rock at the back. Carra no longer does this, Agger is good but not great and skrtel is rash.

They also need the 2 jerks in charge out. Dual Ownership does not and never will work.

there are few reasons why he will/should be staying until end of season of not longer.

1) we can't afford to sack him, as it will cost £20m for doing so (including his backroom staffs), then probably extra £20m+ to sign a manager at his level and his own backroom staffs then £??m transfer budget to build the team.

2) there are no other manager who is at the same level as Rafa available right now can just step in for the job.

3) one bad season doesn't turn a good manager into a bad one, if you look at this season so far it proved that there are no team(s) are unbeatable even Chelsea and any mid-table teams can beat the "top 4". so IMHO, its not purely the manager fault of the poor season so far and if you have good manager like Rafa, you stick with it. our back 4 have no confidence what so ever this season and make alot of mistakes. the manager can have the best tactic in place but if the players doesn't follow the tactic and play it like it should be then the players are to blamed and not the manager's tactics

KnightofCydonia, totally agree with you about the second striker, Ngog is doing a pretty good job at the moment but we def need a proved goalscorer this Jan transfer window. Carra showed he still has it from the Arsenal but the back four really have to start gel together again cos their mistakes are costing us alot of points at the moment.

loosing Arbeloa and Alonso has had a big effect IMO. There is also no depth in the squad. Without Gerrard and Torres on top form, the team just doesnt do it. Lucas, Riera, Babel are just not cutting it

adb1006

I fcuking hope not. He's off his rocker. Lucas has to be the worst player in the premier league and yet he keeps a £20m play-maker sat on the bench. Also, what the feck is he doing playing Dossena on the wing when Benayoun is fit??? He just makes the wrong decisions, all too often. He's been lucky and got away with it in the past as Gerrard and Torres have been firing and covering up his mistakes, but this season he's been exposed IMO.

hope so, he is doing a sterling job over at the Kop!

To be honest though, he should have gone long before Mark Hughes though.

That is true - we're only the mosty decorated English club in history... :roll:

Frankly, you're below Birmingham, which, as a Blues fan I can say is a shameful position for any team, he should be worried!

singlespeedexplosif

hopefully he'll be there for years yet

bails87

Yeah, we would have beaten them too, if Ngog wasn't a filthy cheat! Booooo!

Completely agree with you. How we are even as high as we are this season is a mystery to me

spending money is too easy an answer and its basically rafa's excuse

but would i give that moron my money to spend? I'd rather actually tip a real Spanish waiter

yes we do need a second proven goal scorer, and if ngog or babel had been given more regular experierince previously they probably would be by now.

The guy lost millions of pounds on robbie keane in 6 months!! and we still came second!
giving him more money to throw away is not the answer.

selling alonso was crazy but he replaced him with a lesser quality player who was injured and since recovering he has barely played, he chose not to bring back owen on the cheap and look at him at utd barely costing them anything and he just didnt keep keane for long enough and gave him hardly any of the backing he has shown torres

i'm tired of being patient now, win us the europa cup or he needs to step aside
