if if if

Actually, the 'if' is quite important.

Stats show that when Rafa had more to spend, Liverpool were a better side, competing for and winning trophies.

The reduction in his pocket money coincided with our drop in form.

Metro_, the days of Rafa, and Kenny for that matter, are behind us. BR has clearly convinced the owners that he doesn't need a mega-budget, he is his own man, and wants to develop raw talent, at his time and at a cost he decides. An example? here's a question. Last night, with Joe Cole injured, would either Rafa or Kenny, especially Kenny dared to have put Raheem on? There's the difference, the club is in completely new, completely different, hands. Unless Greatteams disagrees of course, and I agree with him. JimmyTheRed

Yes the are Jimmy, but this doesn't mean we cannot talk about the man anymore. As for Raheem, Kenny did play play him, albeit begrudgingly.

so instead of typing if if if

you should have been a bit more mature and said it's true, Rafa was a top manager when his resources matched those competing for the top prizes.

Let me reiterate my earlier point - IF only you thought before you typed.

p.s Jimmy - i'm fully aware those days are behind us. my point was that Rafas decline started with the drop in expenditure
