All those in favour of removing Rafa and the only name that crops up as a replacement is Mourinho, and its said as though he is waiting in the wings ready to take over. IMHO he will NEVER come to LFC as manager (keep dreaming) and why would he? he has already cut his teeth at Porto with average funds, although in their League he was still the biggest spender, has been at a Club where he had a blank cheque, he probably has one big job in him, and is not going to be at LFC, poor funds, no stability. If G&H couldn't swallow Rafas' mildest words of dissent what chance of reigning in Mourinho?
So think again and come up with some new names....oh let me think.....in all the monthes of wanting Rafa out by a variety of posters NO VIABLE ALTERNATIVES have ever been mentioned, and don't forget the minimum criteria, European experience with some success, winner of a top League, Worldwide respect, young enough to build for the future. I suppose that counts out Dave Jones and Paul Jewell:;):

Well I'll throw a name into the ring for arguements sake, Guus Hiddink.
He is a bit of a mercenary as a manager, and seems to be interested in national sides these days.
But the bloke is a very very good tactician, and his sides always play to their strengths. I think he is also very good at, working with what he's got. So if funds are tight I couldnt think of anyone better TBH, he is a great coach.
But probably has no interest in day to day management anymore, so its highly unlikely but still I think he'd be my choice if Rafa were to go.

I love Rafa, and he's pulled off some remarkable tactical scalps over his tenure, however it seems that he is unable to motivate the players at present. It could be that he is suffering from the owners lack of support, but there have been instances of this before the takeover.
The problem is the players have never liked him imo. They play for him, but they were motivated moreso by Pako, who's gone now.
I also think our coaching is well below what it should be. We have good players, we have a very good squad full of internationals. Players who perform have performed well at previous clubs and for their country. They can't suddenly lose the ability to pass to a teammate over night. We are obviously missing something in training. We have looked like a team of individuals for the majority of the season. Our style of play is horrendous at times and very reminisent of the latter stages under Ged.
I think Rafa's lost his way. The debacle with the owners ceratinly obviously helped matters but the signs have been there for a while. Its got that stale inevitability of 2003/4.
