Yeah, despite what I've just posted above that's a very sensible take on it. Although RH has been getting told to "fuck off" since the first week in September, I said the same as you right up until last week when my patience finally broke down after the Wolves game.
The trouble is that as long as he stays now, there is a big risk of an empty Anfield more frequently.
And if we fuck it up mate... there's a danger it will stay like that for years.
I remember when West Ham brought in Trevor Brooking, as a stop gap. Results improved then there was people want to give the club legend the job full time. It ended up in a huge mess and fucked them up for years.
I'm not saying I have any answers. I'm just saying if they don't get this right, there's a definite possibility it will finish us off as a top team. The more I think about it, despite the obvious pitfalls, I think re-instating Rafa, on a rolling contract if needs be, is the wisest choice.
I've thought over all the pros and cons. It's not just my Rafatollah googles telling me this. It just seems to make sense to me. There's a rot still in Anfield. We cleared a load of it out. I think the rest might have to go before we start rebuilding. But I don't see this as the mamoth job the media and Roy would have us believe. I think Rafa would get us back to winning ways immeadiately. I think a few ins and outs in the summer would have us back challenging.
I don't think we'll get Aquilani back, but if we could, along with Insua, I reckon we'd need to fork out on 3 first team/squad players tops, and we'd be right in the mix. We fuck up now, get the wrong fella in, we really could be doomed this time.
