Gillett and Hicks disagreements?

[kurtangle01]

If there's any truth in it (and looking at Bascombe's recent articles would suggest there might be) then it seems that Rafa and all of us for that matter have been taken for a ride by Parry, Moores and the new owners.

Rafa deserves better than this. If he decides to walk I wouldn't blame him. It's obvious Man U and Chelsea are going to leave us behind if we dont start showing their ambition in the transfer market and for the foreseeable future we'll be playing for 3rd and 4th place and hoping for good cup runs.

Yep. It's hard to see how we'll catch up if we don't show similar ambition in the transfer market to what they do.

Perfectly summed up mate
Nothing more to add here.

It will be a NOTW re-hash of Bascombes article with sensationalist headlines and quotes from "insiders" and "club sources"

Yep, all the articles might aswell just say "Log on to ICliverpool.co.uk and find stuff by Chris Bascombe, then twist it into as negative piece as possible and you'll have what we'd of been writing had we not informed you of where to look instead"

Theres obviously something wrong but I dont think its a lot worse now because some ****ty Sundays will be copying what CB has written today

[Dhav]

I just pray that this is all some game of brinkmanship we're playing in the transfer market to give the impression we aren't as flush with cash as Gillett and Hicks had suggested previously, while we're ruthlessly working behind the scenes to secure top talent at less exorbitant prices. :whatever:

It looks like Moores sold his shares as a responsibility to the other share holders and not for the best of the club

At least they all made a good return on their investment :whatever:

Relax lads, these boys have been business coleauges/good friends for a long time. I'm sure there have been/will be disagreements, it's human nature. Don't let the usual tabloid sensationalism worry you

That's not strictly true from what I've read. I can't remember where I read it but they had a falling out over something awhile back. iirc they ironed that disagreement out in order to bid for Liverpool FC.

My memory ain't what it used to be though....

Reread the bold mate

Don't worry about the memory thing, after all we're all getting on a bit now, especially baz

Can you please post the article from the express ?

sorry mate, it was just on ssn, showing the back page of papers. it did say 'exclusive; but hey dont they all !!!

this better be the 2 of them doing the best blag ever!!

Seriously bored of these stories - I wish it was ****ing August 31st already now :whatever:

[kurtangle01]

Both articles are seperate. One says that Rafa has given up trying to persuade the new owners to stump up "mega bucks". The other plainly states that Rafa and our new owners have fallen out.

Not to mention the extra £8m he made himself!

[Dhav]

So basically we're in a situation where Rafa is only spending money he's made himself, from the CL run and player sales?

**** this ****. He's a top manager and he deserves to be backed with funds to buy top players. At this point it's a risk we have to take otherwise this could be the time when we are really cut adrift from the top 2.

But hey, **** the team, the staff, the club and the fans. The shareholders have made a nice little earner from selling to the yanks plus got priority match tickets, while the yanks are going to make ****loads from the new TV deals. At least the only people that matter are happy. :whatever:

fella wind yer neck in. Moores loves this club far more then you ever will. All the negative stories are just national rags feeding off bascombes negativity. Bacombe is being used by Rafa to create negativity to force the yanks to hand over cash a bit quicker. Bascombe is too thick and too far up his own ****pipe to see it.

Rafa is just playin the game as he is pissed off but it is no more than that, Although I personally feel rafa is taking this too far now I understand why he is flapping.
