Anyway Rafa. Just on the number of games you could count on your hand the King has got us to 7th.
Remember that number?
While you're busy remembering numbers here's two names you have probably forgotten all about.. Hicks & Gillett.
For the record Rafa got us to second and finishing seventh was a consequence of Hicks, Gillett and Purslow sabotaging the squad, restricting team selections (to prevent activation of appearance clauses in contracts) and providing Rafa with a negative transfer budget.
Rafa struggled with all of that and fought tooth and nail to preserve the spirit of this club and for the fans against a twisted media and owners.
It will for ever bring shame upon some "so called" fans that they couldn't see past S*n owning Murdoch's anti Liverpool agenda and betrayed Rafa. What those fans brought upon Liverpool was near administration, near relegation and Roy Hodgson. Fortunately these "so called" fans keep a low profile these day because everyone knows and understands the consequences of their betrayal and thank God we had Kenny and FSG to get us out of the mire.
I'm delighted that Kenny is here and that FSG are showing him the kind of backing that Hicks/Gillett/Purslow never showed to Rafa. I just wish that Rafa had been given the backing that he needed and we could have avoided the nightmare that those "so called" fans contributed to.
Rafa was dignified and respectful as ever to Kenny and you can bet he will be delighted to see us back on the right track because he puts Liverpool FC and the fans first. He said that he would take the job again after Kenny and I would be more than happy to see him back here and properly backed by responsible owners.
One thing is for sure Rafa is one of us, always will be and will always be welcome back which is more than I can say for those "so called" fans.
