Rick Parry's comments.....pure class

[fowlen]

Cannot give the quote word for word.....but he had a sny dig at Moronho, and said something like this.....

When you invest £500m and the only silverware you win is the Worthington Cup, it's a fantastic achievement!!

Here here.

Didn`t like it myself, a bit of a low shot.
It would have been better if he said nothing about Chelsea at all.

What about Hick's comment about Rafa "He's a shrewd businessman who knows how to get what he wants..."(or something like that).

What did Rafa want and does getting to the final earn him it? Eto'o? Villa?

Hick also said that Rafa doesn't appear like he does in the media and referred that he's not all about money. I think he meant that he just doesn't want a big transfer kitty. Rafa wants a full overhaul in how the club is run.

I hear yah but it is Maureen that we're talking about. The guy that just will not shut up or stop moaning about how the best team lost etc etc etc.

His comments the other day about how if he was Rafa and couldn't win the prem in 3 years he would be sacked. What a jerk, nothing more than he deserved IMO.

It's pretty much the biggest compliment a multi-millionaire American businessman could pay someone. I'd guess he admires Rafa for qualities like his ability to think strategically, his motivational skills, his readiness to take calculated risks, etc. - all things which make for success in business.
