No player or manager is irreplacable, but I think we would be set back at least a couple of years, and with the progress being made by the Mancs and Chelsea, they may be out of sight by the time we have recovered from the upheaval and turmoil it would cause.
The other question is would Reina, Alonso, Garcia sign new contracts without Rafa ?

ive heard on the Bootle grape vine that Rafa will announce his departure this weekend due to an argument behind the scenes with the new oweners i assume over money.
unfortunatly i believe this rumour due to various reasons i wont go into but it involves Bootle pub regulars.

longer than a decade mate. if Rafa were to go then this club will just be a penny bank for the new owners
If Rafa goes then the new owners have no intention of backing the team
complete 
, why would they suddenly loose interest in the club they have bought. They are business men and it is in their interest to make the club as successful as possible as you would do with any business.
I am not the world's biggest fan of Rafa, beacuse I prefer more attacking football and he's too damned stubborn for my liking, but I have to say that he has been incredibly successful with limited resources. I am certain he has a very healthy budget and that the board are deliberately putting up a lot of smoke screens and misdirecting the media.
I think we will get at least 2 or 3 big name signings in the tranfer window and that we will win the Prem within the next 2 seasons.
For the time being in Rafa and the board i trust, and I can't wait for these new signings and for next season.

Most certainly not. Chances are, he'd take them with him to Madrid (assuming he went there).
Any notion of Rafa leaving the club on these forums should be BANNED! It's all stirred up by the media because they fu.cking hate us and do not want to see us do well at all! Get it out of your heads. Rafa is going nowhere. The man already made that clear when he told Real to f.ck off, not once, but twice and possibly three times.

You speculate what would happen if he left, and then go on to speculate what might happen to our existing players if he left, then you say all this talk about Rafa leaving is cra.p.
I'd say don't speculate about it if you think it's cra,p.

For some reason, I can speculate about Xabi Alonso not going to Madrid. It's also maybe speculating, but IMHO for any player, being backed by the manager is crucial in order he signs up for a team. Many of them claim to join a club, after some words with the manager. If the manager convinces him in his role in the team, he might sign up. It's an important factor. Money is also an important factor, but the trust of the manager counts.
That's why I think that SOME players, if they see a new manager they might feel some uncertainty about their future and could consider the possibility of leaving more seriously. Even Gerrard based his continuity in Liverpool in that he saw a good project, he saw a winning team being built.
This thread, the thread about Rafa leaving today, or that older rumour about Alonso's ultimatum to play the final, should not make it to this section of the forum though in the future.

There's speculation about Rafa leaving, then there's secondary speculation about what would happen to our players, I could also speculate that the tea lady who works at Melwood may also join Rafa in Madrid!
And Uncle albert, he needs some sunshine!

Yes, he needs. Since I knew Uncle Albert I now imagine the LFC offices as a mess, with lights not working, electricity failing, and water pipes leaking. There always seems to exist something to fix there and Uncle Albert is there like Super Mario. The new Americans seem to rely on his fixing abilities aswell.
Rumours.
Pah.
