so what r u saying?...that rafa deliberately made the reds play mediocre average footie?...if that is really true he sld be shown the door immediately wif no compensation because he has acted in bad faith...i truly pity the season ticket holders if that is really true...
as for the reds value soaring...how is this possible if the reds want to successfully compete for top honours over the long term on a sustainable basis?...not only must the new owner settle the debts...he wld also hv to come up wif $$$ to invigorate and strengthen the squad, plus come up wif more $$$ to finance the new stadium...

rafa's teams hv also been generally pretty boring...in fact if not for rafa's kiasu kiasi attitude the reds wld hv probably won their 1st epl title last season...all those bloody draws wif average mediocre teams cost the reds the title...and this season rafa's tactics hv at times been bizarre and weird...as for shoestring budgets...it is all relative...in any event rafa has not bought all too wisely...he does not hv a v good eye to unearth enuff gems...unlike during liverpool's golden years wif the likes of geoff twentyman the reds' legendary chief scout...see Secret Diary of a Liverpool Scout...
