Pepe Reina

I agree. And it wouldn't have been unreasonable if carra or stevie thought that all out civil war might be even more damaging for the club. Who are we to judge from where we stand.

dark days for the club but in the past now.

Pepe in his book wrote this:

"As I sit with a pen in my hand, preparing to sign the contract that will commit me to Liverpool for the next six years, the worries that have been dogging me for some time begin nagging away at me a little more.

'Am I doing the right thing?'

'Will the ownership situation be sorted out soon?'

'When will the club start making good on the promises that have been made?'

'How soon will we be able to challenge for honours again?'

I had been constantly asking myself the same questions for more than a year.

It was April 2010, and Liverpool's standards had been lowered. We found ourselves drifting aimlessly as the problems in the boardroom caused a malaise that was affecting everyone. If anything, my concerns seemed even more justifiable as I prepared to put pen to paper, but I put them to the back of my mind. 'This is Liverpool,' I said to myself, 'it won't be long before we are back to where we belong.'

The thing was, I really wanted to be a part of the good times at the club. I was so desperate to enjoy the kind of special moments I had imiagined when I first signed for Liverpool give years earlier that I was prepared to gamle the rest of my career on it. As I signed the deal, I was relieved that my future had been sorted ou once and for all. Or at least I thought it had.

I have been through three dark nights of the soul at Liverpool and on all three occasions I have questioned whether I should stay at the club that I have come to love. On each occasion I could have walked away. I had opportunities to continue my career elsewhere, bit O never took that final, decisive step that would have severed my ties with Liverpool forever. Thankfully.

For tens of thousands of footballers, Liverpool is a difficulty club to join because it is one of the greatest in the world. But I know from my own personal experience that it is an even more difficult club to leave behind.

you've got to love Pepe!

thread is locked for the time being.

[RichC]

right I've tidied up this thread a bit - let's not post PM's in threads and perhaps before sending certain PM's have a think about what you're writing and how this is likely to be taken by the recipient.

A lot of what's been posted has been done to death now, can we please move away from said subject.

Thanks

Whatever happened to releasing a book after you had retired?

Money and we the fans want to know what our darlings do every second. We want to know the dirty secrets as soon as possible.

[little dave hedgehog]

we live in a world where the government doesn't even trust you to hear the word **** anymore

This is exactly why books should be left until the player retires. This is no time at all to be dragging all this **** up yet again. Completely stupid timing even.

Oh and Arsenal? Wtf Pepe they're ****. I'd like to see the reaction if Carra or Stevie contemplated joining them last year.

That was the same point I made earlier.

We could do without any additional distractions.

The release date was confirmed before the fixtures were even released to be fair.

I still think it was released in the off season it would have been better.
