Why don't you just feck off.

At least he's posted his opinion something you seem fecking incapable of. All you have EVER done since you came on here is moan and fecking groan at other peoples opinions.

Ok hes not had the biggest budget, but hes has had one of biggest in the divison at his disposal and the advantage of being in charge of a prestigious club that by his own admission can attract top class players anyway. The control he begged for was given and now he over looks everything at Anfield.I doubt theres a manager with more control at a football club anywhere. I am not arguing that the owners have not caused him problems, its obvious they have, but I just feel its being over played by Benitez to mask some of the poor decisions hes made in the transfer market and his tactics in the Premiership. Despite all the adversity at the football club it would surely be very difficult to argue that he should not have made much better use of his resources and his selection of player and squad assembly has been very poor. To me the rot really set in when he tried to use Alonso as a make weight to broker a deal for Barry. In itself it was a poor decision and in the ripples cost us the services of Alonso and we lost out on Barry anyways. Then we had the Keane fiasco last year followed up by another 2 lads signed this summer for £40m who have not made any impression at all.Its just not good enough and frankly the prospect of Benitez now being given any more funds frightens the life out of me because to me it looks like the fella has lost the dressing room and is likely to make a hash of any recruitement whilst looking as dazed and on the ropes as he does right now.

That's a really good post mate. Balanced but truthful and on the money in my book.

We havent been bad this season, at times we have been an embarrasment.
And it doesnt matter now where we came last season.
The fact is we are going to come 7th this season and were humiliated in the cups meaning we have now gone a long time without a trophy.

A change of manager is essential.

The only thing essential at LFC at the moment is getting rid of the owners, no other issue comes close, like Igor has stated many time what happens to Rafa will be sorted once the season ends, the future of the club is at stake every second these two remain.

I will be very disappointed if his still here next season.  There is no excuse for this season.  The league position, the CL debacle, the embarrasment v Reading, the amount of defeats in total.  Were no closer to the top than when he was first here and now we have even slipped even further.  Its time to be ruthless and let it be known its not acceptable and sack the Manager.

True
But lets not forget that Rafa cant be allowed to slip under the radar
Hes every bit as guilty of mismanaging the club as them pair of ******
Plus the club might take another year to sell on, would you really want to gamble on Rafa for another season?

I have an allergy to reading repetitive shíte, fortunately for you I´m getting to used to it but shíte is still shíte at the end of the day - same colour, same smell.   :eyebrow

As things stand now Rafa will stay.
There may be many reasons for and against him staying.
But the most relevant is 16 million. That is really all there is to the subject.
Hicks would never ever contemplate paying for something he doesn't have to and he surely will not make this an exception.
Live with it....

Then he is surely at least going to make good on his promise that this summer will be 'big' in terms of spending.

things is mate i dont judge him on one season alone so i dont see it as a gamble.

im not blind to whats gone on this season so dont be thinking that, imo he deserves the chance to put it right and if he cant then the next guy gets a chance.
