I don't have an opinion either way but would like to hear the opinion of all the posters who go mental every time another fan asks about Rafa as our new manager.
Seems to be good enough for the great Real Madrid who challenge strongly for UCL and their own league every season but you guys don't rate him at all?

first of all Real Madrid are miles apart from us to start with , they have a fantastic first team, they are the richest club, and manager plays a limited role as far as the whole management goes. there are several people involved at Real Madrid as far as the final decision goes. Rafa works for Madrid because well for one he is spanish and secondly he has a good record in europe and has won La liga so he has the experience too.
while he is good enough for us too but he is not an upgrade over rodgers if he isn't given money to buy. he is also a deadwood collector in terms of players. Add to it he will bring in a completely new system in place, which means the players will have to mould themselves into a new system for the third consecutive year, which tells you why we are failing. we would need a manager who would continue with the attacking style of play we had in last season and can defensively organize us in a stable way. i do think Rafa will bring us a trophy surely if he comes, but he might not be the ideal solution to the clubs woes, and it is high time we hit the nail right on head and get a manager who is here for the long term. if we are to get Rafa we have to make sure we support his style of football and make sure he stays for a decade. both of which i highly doubt

Rafa is a top top manager/coach. Real want him but some of our fans don't think he's good enough. There you have it.

I'm not one who goes mental. I'm one who says support and stick with the man currently in place.
However, if he does go (I doubt it), I think the man who will be available and interested with the best CV will be Rafa.

I do see it as a backwards step hence I'd rather stick with the man we have, but surely you will agree, managing Real Madrid is completely different, in almost every respect, to managing Liverpool. We are rebuilding in a competitive league and are currently not in the champions league.

Rafa is too powerful a figure for FSG. That is the reason they will never bring him back.

Being a control freak and a politician doesn`t make you powerful. it makes you a lunatic which is why Rafa always has probs wherever he goes. He`s a meddler who simply cannot stick to managing and who always has to meddle in otherpeople`s business. The owners are fully aware of this, I suppose and will NEVER hire him back because we already have a control freak at the helm that they may be trying to get rid of as we speak.

Rafa will only be a stop-gap at Real, as they're trying to get Zidane in as manager when he's ready apparently.

{Ed002's Note - That is not entirely correct.}
