We have tried and tried but it appears the campaign to Keep Rafa At Pool has failed. The £3m severance fee Liverpool have offered the Spaniard is close to being accepted and will mark the end of his reign. The offer of just £5m to spend this summer was meant to force Rafa to leave in indignation but thankfully he stuck by his guns but now it appears the board have just plainly asked him to leave!
From his stupid hand gestures to his ‘fahcts’, there isn’t much I liked about Rafa but I will say I respect how he managed to get his team up for games against us even though they would go on and lose to an obscure team the next week.
So today we celebrate the tenure of Rafa, from the £20m he spent on Aquilani to finishing out of the top four twice during his spell at Anfield. We just hope he lands on his feet and ends up the manager of another rival team!
