I understand he has the reputation. And as I've admitted frequently, he has nobody to blame but himself. But I look around the league and labeled players like Ashley Young and Gareth Bale still get the benefit of the doubt more times than not.

hence the 'on the isle' comment. South Americans cry about how they are treated on the continent, but it's worse up there in heretic land.

I think he's a great player, I don't like him, but he is very good.

BTW, when will Liverpool wise up, and rehire Rafa? He knows what he's doing, better than 90+% of the coaching world, and he loves the club. I don't get it.

Liverpool have found their manager for the next 5+ years. Rafa is brilliant, and I don't think many of us would complain if he came back, but it was just time for the club to move forward. The owners were in a horrible position and Rafa just wasn't in the question. Take over with Woy, fire him. Hire Dalglish (previous manager), fire him. Imagine the backlash if Rafa would have failed.

Anyway, I thought you would like Rodgers since he is a student of the Spanish game. Pretty sure he would do anything to be Pep for a day.
