He went from 80 points to 64 points some 17 points behind the champions after comming within 7 and had a chance on the last day to go to 67 and claim the CL place off chelsea who then might not have been bought by Abramovic. Rafa will probably take us back further than 10 points difference this season, however that doesnt tell the full story. LFC were in freefall and it was clear a lot of the players no longer wanted to play for the manager. However David Moores & Parry (one of the few things they ever did right) made it clear to the players that Houllier would be the manager the following season no matter what but if the players continued playing the way they were they might not be and surprise surprise our form improved. The downside of this is exactly the same happened the following season and we ended up on less points but because Newcastle had an even shitier year than us we got 4th and CL history was made under Rafa in 2005. This brings me on to the state we are currently in without a joint statement from HIcks and Gillett the players are going to continue to take the piss out of the manager and because the club is in dissarray I see no way for Rafa to ever get this back on course. You will never get the unifying statement in support of the manager because Gillett wants Rafa sacked and Hicks wants to keep Rafa. Also Hicks will never agree to the appointment of Klinnsman because it is a Gillett choice so actually getting them to agree to sack Rafa and agree on a new manager is fucking impossible To sumarise this post best WERE FUCKED
