Now what do they do?

Now the reason Liverpool fans love Rafa so much is because they hate the board so much. But how long can they really keep the faith in Rafa??

He's spent so much money and has such a big squad but it will only play if Gerrard and Torres are in it. There has been European success but not a great deal else.

£20 million for Aguallani (spell?). Watching him last night and from the previous Reading match it's difficult to see how that figure was reached? He lost the ball so often in possession it was unbelievably.

How long can Rafa last now?

They are average at best. They won't qualify for Europe, lose Torres and the £30m on average that CL qualification provides. They will then not be able to attract top quality players and will fall further behind Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs.

I think Liverpool could see years of mid table football unless they get some Man City style investment.
