Keane's departure
is the first step to off-pitch Liverpool calming down.
Rafa didn't want him. Nevertheless, he was bought and his failure to fit in proved Benitez right that Keane wasn't what we needed.
This, coupled with the Chelsea win, must surely mean that the board are going to give Rafa the power he wants in terms of transfers.
Hopefully Rafa will hold his tongue a little bit in the next few months and then everything will be sorted - then we can settle back down to the wonderful team we were at the start of the season; only now, unlike then, we have Fernando.
The future looks good.
