Just aswell have a look at the numbers. As the title says would you like to see him have a second stint as Liverpool manager? It doesn't matter when, whenever the job becomes available again whether it be 1 year or 12 years, would you like to see him back?

He Da Man Liverpool defeat dismays Benitez BBC Sport Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez did not hide his dismay after his side's sorry 2-0 defeat at Manchester United. "It is clearly one of my most disappointing days as manager of the club," said the Spaniard. "It is a game I know everybody at the club and the supporters want us to win, particularly at Old Trafford." The Reds have scored only one away goal - a penalty - in the Premiership this season and rarely looked like finding the net as they slumped to defeat. "Away from home we need to win to improve confidence," said Benitez. "We are controlling long spells of games, getting the ball in…

We've all heard the whispers that this is why Souness, but to those who haven't, it is alleged that Joe Fagan told Graeme Souness that "they(the club's hierarchy) can't afford to sack me" at which point he began rubbing his hands vigorously. I just wanted to know if anybody had heard any corroborating evidence, or anything to dispute this claim? Also, I would ask that we not get bogged down in semantics as to what constitutes "rubbing".

No matter what side of the Rafa argument you are on you can only be thankful for this day 8 years ago. [YOUTUBE]uV5xpweO62c[/YOUTUBE] So many fantastic memories: The Gerrard lifting the fans after the first goal. Smicers strike and Baros jumping backwards out of the way. Garcia almost killing Xabi after scoring from the rebound. Dudek's knowing nod after the save from Shevchenko. Carra having words with Jersey before the pens. At half time I was a broken man and to go from there to 3-3 was a emotional ride which I can hardly explain, as it was almost a state of disbelief. Thank you Rafa and thank you LFC. YNWA.

I fucking love this man. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6609019.stm Apologies if it has been posted on another thread. Actually, no, I'm not sorry. Is this a little dig about Garcia's goal? "Our fans cannot give red cards or award penalties but they can score goals'"

A very contraversial thread this given the opinions on here but if there was something you could change about Rafa what would it be? I'd change his caution first footballing mentality, his obsession with "squad players" which leads me to his other obsession of rotation rotation rotation. Otherwise he is a great coach, great manager, and someone whom I wouldn't change for anyone given his plus points far outweigh the rest. So who is going to brave?

Yesterday something very strange happened to our club, for the first time in our history I think I witnessed one of our managers give up on a game by taking off his best players with 20 minutes to go and accepting a 3-1 defeat to another team. He took off players hoping to keep them "fresh" for a CL game and to me he said right there which is more important - the league or the CL. I am absolutely disgusted by what he did, he thew in the towel, he gave up on 3 points even though Reading have conceded hatfuls at home and all may well not have been lost. He surrendered, some would argue that he surrendered even before the game started with his tactics and team s…

Players bought: 2012-2013 Total money spent: 0 Players sold: 2012-2013 Total money brought in: 0 Net spend: 0 To me it seems obvious that when you look at Pascoe's spectacular success in the transfer market and compare it with any manager in our history, he is head and shoulders above them all. He also managed to attain a 100% win record and that was after he took over from the wreckage of Rodgers disastrous stewardship. I think he would crawl over broken glass to manage us, so, in my view, it seems obvious we should pull out all of the stops to bring him home. We would have unity.

Great player and all. But his record as a manager were terrible. He could'nt get us out of the 2'nd division, even with legends like Billy Liddell at his disposal. Maybe Houllier was wrong after all?? I think you need to have been a horse to make a good jockey. Thoughts?
