Will this be Rafa's last season at Anfield? If Liverpool don't win the Premiership title it probably will be

By Barry Ringstead on Aug 30, 09 05:05 AM in Fans

There's only one piece of silverware Liverpool fans want to see paraded around Anfield next May and that, as we all know, is the Premiership trophy. Winning the Champions League for a 6th time would be a fantastic acheivment but even that would, in the eyes of most supporters, be deemed a disappointing season, even more so if Man Utd. win the title for a record 19th time. That scenario doesn't bare thinking about.
Not winning the Premiership title will likely mean the end of the road for Rafa as six years of failed Premiership title attempts would raise questions about his ability to translate his obvious talents into bringing home the most coveted prize. I could go on about failed rotation systems, faith in players that just aren't good enough and of course the most likely cause for failure, the two dreadful American owners who have promised so much and have delivered so little.
However, let us hope that this season, even after an uncertain start, brings to an end the 20 year wait and that Rafa shows us all that he has what it takes to win the Premiership title again and again.

There is no way Rafa will be sacked. The American clowns would have to cough up a big compensation package as he just signed a new contract. The only way is for him to resign on his own. Don't think that will happen and I'm quite happy about that. We need better owners who can cough up cash. Not a new manager.

A disappointing season winning the European Cup? Don't think so! We have to face facts: it's bloody hard to win the league these days, with our financial contraints and leech-like owners even harder. If United/Chelsea/Arsenal/Spurs don't win the league should they sack their manager? (Actually, don't answer that.)

Footy is a silly parody of a game nowadays, there's so much knee-jerking, so many supposed 'quick fixes' that turn out to create even more instability - he's not to the taste of some of the idiot pundits and 'superfans' but proper supporters know we have a gem in Rafa; if anyone can do it, he can. So please don't be like the numpties ringing Talk Sport and 606 and have some faith man!

Winning the champions league would be a good thing for the club as always,and we have more chance of winning that than we do the league as europe suits Rafa's style he wants to play.Can anyone explain why the shackles have been put back on our team,a team that was expansive and attacking and scoring goals for fun from the end of Feb 09.I do agree that he would have to resign to save the club money and his hand could be forced by the owner's who could tighten purse string's thus frustrate Rafa.
