Whats the point of starting a whole new thread and naming it exactly the same as a thread that already exists and one you have already posted in?

Quincey has the answer to this............

There is already a whole thread discussing this, and did you not take part in the discussion?

RAFA's not happy

Having read Rafa'a rants today i am happy, its about time we started fighting our corner. Being Mr Nice Guy and expecting to be treated accordingly is failing badly. So credit to Rafa for changing tack and letting them know we are not happy.

What i am worried about is that Rafa has felt the need to do this. Is he happy about working in an environment that basically encourages poor performance. Rafa has to complain to get a response, discussing it has no effect. He may fight the corner but if nothing happens, which if we are honest is odds on to happen.............could Rafa pull the pin in disgust.

Edit: disgust at the FA/PL lack of action.

Leeds being civilised.. Must be a first

Yep, only difference is Leeds were morons with no idea of how to manage their finances and stuck to their word. Scum on the other hand ...

It sounds very similar to the letter that Kewell's agent had that enabled us to get him against the wishes of Leeds i.e. if you can get an offer of £Xm you can go..

TBH without seeing both letters you can't make that assumption. One word could make all the difference and we have no idea of the exact wording of either letter. The FA/PL will make sure that never happens, in any decision they have to make. Thats how how they retain absolute power.

Indeed. I am amazed that the Premier League were so willing to accept verbal evidence to determine the specific intentions of Man Utd when there was written evidence available.

The agreeement to agree point is interesting. I'm assuming they're saying there was no consideration on behalf of Heinze to make this a legally binding contract? If that's their concern then if they wanted to decide it in our favour I am sure they could have found a creative way to dismiss this issue, perhaps by arguing that Heinze has relied on the promise in trying to secure a move to us.

Top post. I only got half way down the first page till i read this and decided it was spot on. I love Rafa being the diplomatic master and doing it the the Liverpool way. The fact is though it does us no favours except winning the fair play award each year.

I applaud Rafa here, he has tried to do things with respect and dignity and he obviously feels he has not received any benefit from that while he has watched Chelsea & The Mancs use intimidatory tactics both on and off the field and they are receiving benefits.

He's decided to draw a line in the sand and do a Jose. Its seige mentality from now on and i love it. Keeps the players focused on whats important, winning every game and keeps them unified at the same time.

No doubt though, the events of the last 2 days have riled Rafa and he sounds pissed

[Skillz]

Correct on all points


It's about time we stopped being pissed on, if the *******s want a fight, bring it on.

****en great post. I bet Rafa could take out Darth Vader with a water pistol.

[RedReet]

so what you are saying is perhaps he should go on a forum, become an internet warrior and complain like **** on a forum???? but not go out into the real world and say what he really thinks!!!

Strange choice of clubs - if it was plucked from thin air I would have expected to have seen an interview on SSN by now with that knobjockey from his country manor advising how scandalous it is and how he's going to sue every f~*ker in sight

Not overly fussed on Heinze either way, but even if there was no truth in the Palace thing, I'd love it if it put an idea in Rafa's head.

Lets say someone like our new pals Atletico put in a £3m bid and United are forced to accept to get rid. Once all the paperwork is complete, we come in with a £4m bid and Atletico pocket £1m for their troubles.

Not likely, but it automatically make Heinze my all time favourite player.
