It is crucial though that this great club is not bogged down in debt that it can barely finance. How successful has LFC been in growing "the brand" worldwide in the last few years?

Apparantly Manure have done this well with the glazers and the owners of LFC need to be able to do the same. The long term issues are

(1) debt
(2) brand
(3) stadium

And if you dont care if they sack Rafa...who would you in your wisdom suggest to replace him....Let me guess??
Jose? O'Neill?.......dont make me laugh!

This is what I love about all those who want Rafa sacked. They always fail to give an opinion as to who it is would be better to replace him. It's either they don't have the football knowledge to do so, or they are just following the blind flock of sheep that ends up falling off a cliff. They do my head in.

I think they do probably have more money for the team but like some owners will only get that money out when they get there own man in.  Keegan for instance will get serious funds at Newcastle as this is the owners guy.

If Rafa still struggles to understand Carra the he ain't got a fuckin chance of understanding Kenny!

Oh for f*&k's sake how many times do I need to repeat myself on this. I think pretty much any of the top managers in the premier league or other top leagues would be a better option for us. I think Rafa has lost the confidence of the players and owners, yes also DIC when they come in., and more and more I think he is loosing the confidence of the fans, it's just that everyone feels sorry for him at the moment. tell me how will your opinion be after DIC take over and we still draw at home??
He has had enough money and enough time and apart from a fantastic Chamipons league victory hasn't shown anything in the league.
The reason I don't give specific names is because I have no idea who is available, but yes I think Jose would be a much better manager although I don't like him very much, the thing is that at the moment I don't like Rafa very much either as a manager.

If you have "no idea who is available" (and, not to mention, willing) to take the job, how can you be so adamant that Rafa's replacement would do a better job?
Don't go comparing him to Ferguson or Wenger because they are not options!

Or do you really think that any old coach could come in and do better than Rafa? - I certainly don't. Especially when you consider they would almost certainly have to start rebuilding the team from scratch.

I know, I still don't rate the guy

And then 'we are not cutting the mustard in europe, Rafa out'
