... I will be asking everybody who claims that he had (and retains) an unquenchable love and respect for all things LFC and the city itself, how exactly he demonstrated that devotion by taking 6 million quid that we don't have to waste off us a matter of mere days before signing a multi-year, multi-million Euro deal elsewhere.
IF he does that, it will show me EXACTLY how much Rafa loves and respects Liverpool Football Club.

Wow, so if someone asked you to take 6 mill and leave a job you loved quietly you would not go????
Puhlease!!!!!!!
Rafa is gone, he did his best, let him be already...
He earned the money and deserved it, so let it go already...
He could have said screw you I want all the money, and stayed, but he left , so you should be really happy...

If I truly LOVED the job, was already filthy rich, was about to get filthy-er rich at my new gig and the job I LOVED didn't have $6 never mind $6million to waste, then yes I f#$!ing would.

Easier said than done...
This is a little snippet from tha Mirror article from this morning...
The sacked Reds manager has decided to forgo a large part of his own compensation from Liverpool - which will only be paid if he remains unemployed - by agreeing to join the Italian side so swiftly.
Hmm... sounds to me like he is not trying to fleece the club...

You asked me a direct question. I answered it. There's no "easier said than done" about it.
You would worship Rafa if you came home and discovered him mounting your wife and stealing your car... Your "he'll win more than Jose" line a few posts down the line prove that.
I say that, by taking money he didn't need to take, from a club he claims to love and respect, that he above all others knows doesn't have two brass farthings to rub together, he is fleecing the club and proving (to me) that he does not love the club at all. Otherwise he'd not hurt our ability to improve from this position by reducing what little money that we do have. Particularly as a large part of the reason we performed so pathetically last season is his own performance.
"Hi there. I failed miserably and if I stay, most of our top players are likely to leave. I'll take $6m to leave, please. Because I love the club so much".

I do not worship Rafa, and Rafa is not "fleecing" the club, but you obviously think different...
The EGO won this at inter in 2 seasons...
* 2008 Supercoppa Italiana
* 2008–09 Serie A
* 2009–10 Serie A
* 2009–10 Coppa Italia
* 2009-10 UEFA Champions League
Why is it so hard to believe Rafa cannot out do that with a stable team, money for players, and his managerial skills???
That is not worship it is an opinion...
Not only that but I did not say he WOULD do it, I said I would not be surprised if he did do it.... see the difference...
Rafa is not a perfect manager, but he is a damn good one, and we have let him go and will only fill his position with a lesser caliber manager... If it works fine it works, but if it doesn't then what???
Who ever comes here will have my full support and I hope this works otherwise we will be seriously in the sh*t...
