My $0.02? Ok then. From 2004, a big enough budget allowing Rafa to totally overhaul the squad from top to bottom. And then, once we have a squad capable to genuinely challenging for League and European honours every season, then a budget MATCHING that of our rivals, so that we stay competitive.
I'll let you translate that into numbers.

I don't. I also don't know why they would have already made their minds up to sack him either. See my last reply to real red.

RealRed has not, and hasn't pretended to, offer any proof that Rafa wants Hicks to gain complete control of Liverpool FC.
He has explained why he thinks Rafa is not going out of his way to tangle with Hicks any more. At the risk of putting words into RealRed's mouth, I don't think that even he is arguing that Rafa would prefer Hicks over DIC, or some other well-funded, well-intentioned and well-run new ownership.
Anyway, I should let RealRed answer that.

No, it hasn't. The challenge was to those who advocate that Rafa is in favour of Hicks gaining total control of Liverpool FC. Or, more succinctly, that Rafa is in the Hicks camp.
What we have discussed so far is WHY Rafa has backed away from the anti-Hicks+GG battle, and is now maintaining a low profile. No action or words on his part to prove the above.
I repeat:
So, I would like to ask:
a) how do you know for a fact that Rafa is IN Hicks camp?
b) what part has Rafa played in ensuring that Hicks retains control of Liverpool?
c) what possible impact can Rafa make on the takeover saga, and if so, why hasn't he done it.
I'll withdraw a), because it now seems pretty obvious that no-one here knows for a fact that he is in Hicks camp. No-one seems to have been holding onto some bombshell news that wasn't in the public domain.
Even those who state that they know Rafa is on Hicks side, and has therefore betrayed the fans, and should be sacked, have already admitted that ..... err, actually, they're just inferring it from the same quotes we have all read.
So, if you have failed on a), how about your take on b) and c)?
I'm not trying to turn this into a one-man duck shoot, but its now time to back up your one-liners with some concrete arguments. Over to you.
