i think rafa leaving will send the club into total freefall. you can say it is already blah blah etc, and i'm not even saying that keeping him would prevent the freefall, i'm saying that things have now come to a head and it's gonna be unbearably shit to support us for quite some time.

Fuck me, didnt they think the same when Shanks left.....
No one is bigger than the club, the trouble with Rafa was that he started to believe he was Liverpool Football Club..... He started to take the piss to be fair.
We need a new direction. And this is the beginning of this, Yes Rafa did well in the 1st few years and even last year, but the mistakes of his reign were always there and apparent.
His total lack of personal skills with players making them feel alienated has ruined a team which could have won the league if certain players had stayed.
His downright stubborn attitude towards his players and values also became his undoing.
If you want to deny these facts go ahead, but i think we all know he was no where near perfect.

I get what you are saying, but I dont think Rafa leaving is going to send LFC into freefall. I dont think LFC will ever go into Freefall, WE ARE LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB! That means a lot not just in Liverpool but everywhere across the world. We are too big a club / national institution for this to happen. I dont believe something bad is going to come of this.
I suspect Stevie G has given the board an ultimatem, Rafa our or I go.

Yes, I bet that's just what happened.
