We won 2 trophies and played in 4 finals between 2005 and 2007. Rafa was giving the money to sign players like Reina, Garcia, ALonso, Agger, Crouch, Morientes (who was a good signing - just didnt make it in the PL) and Kuyt etc. That year the CL Final money helped to land Torres. Then the yanks took over...... we haven't played in a final since. Budget has gotten smaller each year.
Rafa has stayed at Liverpool even when they wanted to replace him with F.ucking Klinsmann.
i believe a lot of Liverpool fan's are using Rafa as a scapegoat here for a poor season, but one that was very much inevitable. We've suffered a lot from injuries, and we can't cope with injuries because we have a small squad. We have a small squad cos of a certain sell-to-buy policy in place for the last few seasons.
Don't get me wrong, Rafa has made many mistakes and i think its time for a change too. (Even if it is just to get all the fan's/players back on the same page).
But Rafa is twice the manager that MON or Hodgson are. There is a big difference between doing a good job for a small team and managing a team expected to win every game.
To conclude, i think its time for a new manager but it will be interesting to hear peoples thoughts if someone like MON is a huge failure.
