Isn't it not obvious enough to see that Rafa Benetiz has been orchestrating all these events all along ? He planned all this so as to discourage Hicks and Gillette to hold on to LFC and leave.
Do you think the American owners will ever go if we have won the Premiership last year, ..... or this year ?
Now that it looks likely LFC will lose the income for qualifying in the Champions League, Hicks and Gillette will find it financially impossible to hold on to LFC and forced to get out asap !!!
It has to be done or LFC will have to continue losing millions, paying for the interest on the loans taken by our American owners.
Rafa is the only one who is in the position to save LFC from our shrewd owners. He has the brains and the balls to take them on... and beat them in their own game... those 2 wheeling and dealing freeloaders.
Rafa knows that it would evoke the fury of us passionate LFC fans with these season's results, he made pretty sure that itw ill be financially unfeasable to sack him, by signing up a long term contract.
He has put himself up to be ridiculed and caused a lot of supporters to doubt him. It might be that Rafa has taken a risk that he could lose his job. But I believe he has done us all a hugh service in ridding us of our present owners. In his heart, the sacrifice would have been worth it.
I had a little chat with a player's agent just before we were overtaken in the Premiership last season. I will not name him but he is a regular client. He came for a meal and I was serving him. He mentioned of a backroom situation in Anfield and that we will not win the title. We did not.
Many of you may not agree wwith me. It does not matter.
In my heart, Rafa is my hero, no matter how bad it looks at the moment. I have since then been looking forward to the day our present owners leave LFC forever, so that we can once again start enjoying our football for real and start winning again. After the wind and the rain. there will be a rainbow.
Walking on as always with LFC.......
