Hamman blasted Kenny, Carrol and Downing. Ouch!

The owner is not as dumb as people portrayed him.

Let me reiterate how we judge success.
1) League result.
2) Signings. Sensible signings.
3) Depth of squad (after spending big bucks)
4) Good football?
5) Developments (i.e. youth academy and scout system)

I'd give KK a benefits of doubt that he did have big plan on the developments for the club.
For me, KK failed 4 out of 5.
That is no good at all.

Let us be fair, if KK scored 3 out of 5, I'd call it good.
He failed 4 out of 5 is no good.

And you want the owner to have a faith in another 2 seasons.
Football is an expensive game. Wages are expensive. Tickets and merchandise are expensive too.
Putting faith or hope might not practical. The cost is too high to pay. And a risk that the target to be top club again will be further derailed.

the only reason we easily lost torres or meireless cos of our ''no one is bigger than the club'' motto... spurs has hold long enough for bale & modric and see where are dey now... miles above us.. cant see why we let our star stay for long enough

Go check how many goals Torres scored during the half season under Uncle Roy.
Go check how many goals Suarez and Carroll scored in the 2nd half season too.

yeah we do expect alot from Torres, but regardless, look at the Chelsea fans, we cheer him on every time he warms up, even after 1.5 years without making much of an impact. yet almost half you decides to continue to belittle him because he decided to leave.

because we never had a plan under roy. you see all he did was "aggur, carrager, when the balll commes into defunce, kick it high up the paurk for torre to chase, he will score gurls from there" 
oh my god, he's englund manager now
i don't know how fans still buy into media spun cold relationship between gerrard, carra & bentitez.

If reading into some excerpts of gerrard autobiography, there are lots of things we don't get to see, the lighter moments of him & rafa. no rift, no misunderstanding etc.

Maybe to some forumer excuse, who will comment gerrard is just being diplomatic of rafa. it's his autobiography, juicy tit bits sells. sadly there is no sensationalise bits unlike how media spins the cold row between these 2.   
and you have fans/forumers repeatedly calling on rafa poor man management. 

i think Gerrard/Carragher were all caught in midst of the political wars during the last years of Rafa...
there were basically 3 camps.... Gillette vs Hicks and somewhere, Rafa was also fighting them (moneys to sign players). 
So the whole Liverpool board and management were involved in this war....

Gerrard and Carragher later revealed that they just wanted to stay neutral and concentrate of football (which was very hard).  They were afraid that any show of support to any party (even Rafa) will be used against them

I was reading rafa's website and i saw something particularly interesting.

Hi rafe I have a question which is off the topic ... I became the fan of liverpool ever since i witnessed a special brand of football livepool played under you especially after the arrival of fernando torres.... you changed the system from 442 >451 then liverpool had most of possession /1 touch movements/ played the ball with speed everything was perfect on the way suddenly a change on your mind ...... what's made you more special for barry than alonso........?

Response:

Hello, we were playing 1-4-2-3-1 it depends of the movements of the wingers. Barry is a good international english player, good professional and can play in three positions. Good for the team and good for the future and good for the club. Alonso submit a transfer request. Thanks.

I read further comments and i saw this.This doesn't help change my mind that he isn't the right person.

Rafa, what do you think is the more effective style? A team with superior defence but inferior attack or a team with superior attack and inferior defence? I.e chelsea v barca/bayern.

Response:

Hello Mark, the balance is the key, but better defences win more leagues. Thanks.

I don't like his slant towards defending.Real madrid conceded more than barca this season yet they won the league.
His tactics suit italy the best not the premiership.

another Spainard, and it will make the previous Spainard butthurt more

YES, i support Martinez  as for now........... I hate to see the fat Spainard coming back
