You don't think when rafa signed a lucrative contract he was expected to have a plan with timescales?

aren't long contracts part and parcel of the game? anyway regardless of having a 5 year plan (or not) he never used it as an excuse (not that I remember him making an excuse). I don't think a league challenge should be expected until the manager has HIS plans and players in place, that sliding scale changes if the manager is given funds to make wholesale changes and that wont ever happen at liverpool.
