Their first game is Southampton at home actually.
Yep. Fuck everything you did for us Rafa. You have the audacity to accept a job in the same city your family lives. How very dare you when we have made no approach to asking you back despite your obvious desire to do so.
Nice to see You’ll Never Walk Alone in full effect.
Each to their own opinion. Mine hasn’t changed one bit. Still love the man.

Don’t get me wrong - I love him, but I won’t be cheering him. When he is no longer manager of them then I’ll wish him every success but until then I hope he loses every game. Unfortunately it’s something that comes with the territory.
Still a LFC legend however I can’t hope he does well - not there. Was the same when he was at Chelsea. Didn’t mind Newcastle so much, less of a rival, but if you go to one of our rivals, and the bloke has gone to the main rival (in geographic terms any how) then sorry - I hope you lose every game.

Some of you are so bitter you sound like bitters.

Watching our players being repeatedly assaulted in derby games does that, unfortunately. As for Rafa, he’s free to go where he wants, as much as I and others are free to still hope they get relegated, whoever their manager is.

The big question is…
How will big Duncan treat him in front of the home crowd!

Why because we don’t want Everton and their new manager to do well? 
Benitez is a Liverpool Legend, nothing can erase the history but as I’ve said before hope he is a huge failure at Everton. If by chance that would lead to their relegation then great

I think he probably isn’t as rich as you think he is. Few football managers that I can think of hit 65 and then look to retire, most appear to want to keep going for longer. He probably sees himself as having one or two contracts left before he retires and there are few clubs that are willing to even consider him - look at the Spurs fiasco for example. Even Palace don’t appear to have tried for him. Everton are near by to his family, they have an owner with money and are not an immediate threat to us.
Stop so bitter about people being bitter about Rafa going to the bitters, that it’s making you look bitter.

Really? He has an estimated net worth of £23 million. Even if it’s only half that he’s set himself and his kids up financially for the rest of his and their lives.
He’s now got the chance to sit back and enjoy his money and spend more time with the lovely Montse but instead he’s going to jump into bed with these horrible dickheads.
Like I said, I love the bloke but it’s fucking baffling.

Estimated by who?
Much about Rafa is baffling - The man’s a bonefide fucking lunatic 
But we have to remember that nobody amasses a fortune of 23 million pounds through football management without being absolutely obsessive about football. If Rafa was the type to think ‘Ah, fuck it. I’ve got enough money now’ he would have never got to the position where he can think that.
To Rafa, football is probably like eating or breathing is to me or you.

Ok you win. He’s probably down to his last tenner, can’t blame him for taking the job.

Guess we can all blame Stevie that Rafa has gone to the Blueshite…
If he hadn’t gone into management at Rangers, Rafa may have held out until Jurgen walks
That’s all true, but of every football related job on the planet he’s taking the most toxic of the lot. It’s bad enough for someone with no past association with LFC but this will be off the scale.

Its a done deal.
Contract signed.
I dont have a problem with it but I do find it mad that Rafa wants to go there knowing they hate him from the start and the moment he loses a game theyll want him out. I see this ending badly for Rafa as it echoes his time at Real where the above happened.

He was on £5m a season at Newcastle.
I’m not sure what people constitute as rich or having enough to retire on, but if I had £1m at his age, I would consider myself rich and have enough to live a comfortable life.
But if you were Rafa, you’d spend all your retirement obsessing about football and getting on your families tits until they’d beg you to get out of the house and get a job.
It really isn’t about the money. People keep saying Rafa has enough money and doesn’t need to work. He clearly does need to work, and that’s nothing to do with getting paid!

thank you - saved me saying it there.
My dad didn’t retire until he was 72 due to fear of getting old post retirement. He’s 76 now and has aged more in these 4 years of not having a focus or job, than he did working for the previous 15 years.
