I wouldn't write it off.
Now that FSG have more experience of football under their belts they will be re-evaluating Rafa's time here.
We are constantly being told that all they are interested in is TV money from the Champions league - well Rafa achieved consistent Champion's League qualification, a win and another final as well as getting two points more than our wonder season just gone plus a massive boost in worldwide TV audiences from our performances in those competitions.
Also in hiring Kenny and reinvesting the Torres money they have shown they have a keen eye on fan approval for the "brand".
Add to that that both Comolli and the transfer committee have been disasters - signing the right players is our biggest headache right now - and they will reflect that Masch was a Rafa signing, Alonso was a Rafa signing, Torres was a Rafa signing, Sterling was a Rafa signing, Suraez was a Rafa signing (the deal was done when Comolli wa shere but we were well down the road to sign him by the time he came), Coutinho was recommended to the club by Rafa and Sturridge was sold to us when Rafa was in charge of the plastics. All of them had massive increases in value.
Think Klopp, Simeone, AVB will be their first port of call if Brendan gets the chop (hopefully not) but they will be looking at Rafa too since he ticks so many boxes.
Ayre is employed as a useful idiot who doesn't get in the way too much - he will be given the boot if he proves a hindrance.
Maybe they will even us a hundred million so we can buy our new Messiah - Robbie Keane!
