Stevie and Carragher in their frantic desire to flog their books, as though they don't have enough money, have put the boot into one of our most successful managers ever. F**k gratitude.
Stevie, serialised in the Daily Mail (won't bother providing a link):
"Rafa was sounding muddled and bitter and paranoid. He was humiliating himself. It was a disaster. I couldn't understand Rafa's thinking in wanting to take on Ferguson, a master of mind games, when we were sitting so calmly on top of the table early into a new year.
When I met up with England all the Manchester United players told me Fergie was just laughing at Rafa, saying: 'I've got him. I've got him.'
Rafa made a lot of decisions with himself in mind. He wanted power and control. I didn't like it. Fighting with the board, other managers and the press wasn't the Liverpool way."
Rafa: "Out of the respect that I have for Stevie and for Liverpool and the supporters, I think it's best to just let it pass."
