My hated of them is irrational at times, but Rafael once being connectted to them dosent even register with me.
I see him as an Everton man, not an Ex Liverpool
This ....
In managerial terms - if he was pitched against his son's side he would have absolutely no issue in beating him and relegating him.
I actually envisage blue bill going into his office with pictures of the boys pen, telling him about the cannonball kid, Dixie Dean and Rafael saying "are they available for selection??? No..... So why are you telling me this?"
He's not one for teary eyed emotional blues .... He's probably the reason why Liverpool won in 2005 - he just doesn't do emotion. Imagine if it was him on the touchline in the cup final against Chelsea???? We don't lose that game.
For me he has very similar traits to Neville Southall...... Southall never let his mind stray from the game and what was going on. Win the FA cup and went home,. Kicked off on teammates who never trained right. Relentless work ethic and emotion less
