Well, it looks like he's off. Kay and Barrett are running stories today, and Rafa has been banging on about not getting reassurances about his future from the club.
I'm thorn on this to be honest. On one side, Rafa is one of the top 10 managers in the World. If we can replace him with someone in a similar mould, then I'm all for it. He came in touching distance of the title last year, and we played some great football.
On the other side, I'm sick and tired of his controlling the game approach, defensive tactics in must win games, the lack of balls to go for the kill, tactical suicides and baffling substitiutions.
His latest press conference with his I haven't gotten any reascurances from the club shite was sickening. We gave you a new 5 year deal last summer, full controll of the Acadamy and in the transfer market. And still you have the nerve to say that you don't feel wanted? Fuck off!
If we can get our hands on Mourinho, then fine. If it's MON or someone like that, I feel we might regret sacking Rafa.
In other words, it's a tough one to call. And this summer is going to get very interesting from our point of view.
It will be interesting to see how he reacts after the final whistle tomorrow, in what could be his last home game at Anfield.

No it's not. He'd be in most people's top 10 list without a doubt. But reputation and reality are not necessarily the same thing, and he's no longer the right manager for Liverpool.

I've thought about it, and maybe so.
He's defo not top 5, but he might shade it in there.
