As you say, nobody believed him anyway but at least he appeared to be doing what he did for the good of the club. As it is, we still lost 8 million quid on the whole episode but at least he tried his best to minimise the losses if nothing else.
He is by no means perfect, the advising Kuyt not to sign a contract until he'd renegotiated his own left a bad taste in the mouth, but I'd trust him more than I'd trust Gillett and Hicks anyday.
He also managed to keep a straight face when he said "kuyt is always likely to score you goals"

No, the reason why I'm glad that Rafa is the manager is because broadly speaking I trust him. I do think he's more than capable of fecking things up, and I also think he's capable of signing the odd sh!t player. Ultimately though, I think he has the best interests of the club at heart. I think he is a decent man (certainly compared to the yanks, mind you so is Peter Sutcliffe).
The press are speculating whether he'll say "enough" and walk away, but I am 100% confident that no matter what happens he won't do that. In a situation which is dominated by vagabonds and thieves, he is reassuringly normal. I'm glad he's our manager.

s@int wrote:Strange (or at least surprising) post Mick. I just can't see what he has done to make you suddenly trust him mate, I respect your views but I can't say I agree on this occasion. For me he has a lot to prove yet both on and off the pitch. Still it means I can now argue with someone again now, without being called a (hopefully )which may make things a little more interesting anyway.

bigmick wrote:From a football point of view Conn, I've got much sympathy with your point of view. I do think though that finally, belatedly, after five long seasons we've finally got the hang of the two main areas we were letting ourselves majorly down in and as scuh I am more confident going forward. That we hopefully won't be making 75 changes to the team in the first fifteen matches next season, nor trying to convince ourselves that a draw at Home with Hull is a decent result makes me more confident that we can at last beging to realise our potential from a footballing viewpoint.
As I say though, I'm glad he's our manager precisely because he's a nice enough bloke. there is a bit of a lack of those around Anfield at the moment.

OK, how fickle! You were whining all season that Raffa was this and Raffa was that and you alienated most on here with your doom and gloom, all the while sitting on your high horse ready to put anyone to sleep that disagreed with you with a painfully long post. Now you are starting to believe?? Feck me Mick it is called support and many have seen what you now see and your about turn could easily reverse as soon as Raffa does something you disagree with
You obviously take yourself very seriously that you would open a new thread for this "Hold on people I have a new opinion. I now like Raffa - discuss"
Earth to Mick "You are average at best" (so why would you think any different )
