Disscussing it today, after the match between Manchestered United & Liverpool FC ,my dad and I agreed, although highly depressing as it is and as deluded as this may sound, it might not be the worst thing to ever happen to us.
Hear me out: Say we finish 7th and Benfica knock us out, i'd say that this would be the catalyst for major changes at our football club. For a start, the management would be under serious review. Assuming that it is the end of the line for Rafa and he or the club feels he can no longer take us forward, then the club would have to seek alternative management.
Secondly, the current owners, under pressure from the banks and without European revenue for 12 months, may forced into selling the club to new ownership.
Thirdly, it may give us the chance to focus EVERYTHING into attacking the premier league for just one season. Provided we could keep all our top players and bring in some fresh faces, added to this, a new manager, with new ideas (Mourinho???) then this could be the ideal chance to rebuild, re-focus and start again. We would be forced to get rid of extra baggage that are dragging the club down (Riera for instance) and the players that would remain, we know would be the dedicated ones, up for the fight.
Call me crazy, but the night is darkest just before dawn and this could be exactly what we need. No more papering over the cracks or false "guarentees", this could be the re-birth of Liverpool Football Club.

P.S ( I am giving a rotation of Liverpool writers a fair go before I decide on one feature writer.)
