rafa is a prime example of what can go wrong when a manager has free reign...

but Rafa was probably the best Liverpool manager in the last 15 years.

I totally agree. He might even be the right man now. When parry left rafa was a kid in a candy store. Had carte blanche. A manager should manage. Yes he should have major input into transfer activity but someone else should be looking at the bigger picture as well. If the americans could have maintained better control we would be in a much better position. I dare say we might even have won it. After the year we ended second there was real hope. I only hope fsg can instigate a turnaround similar to the red sox. The low impact of their initial transfer investment might be keeping them up at night though. And that kind of frustration needs an outlet...
