Pako to leave - confirmed

[red g]

i would be shocked if |Rafa wanted ged back in any role, BUT if rafa thought it was in the best interest of the club, In Rafa I trust

[dww]

My honest opinion that this is in all likelihood a tabloid rumour which the internet has allowed to take off. Why would Rafa spend so long fighting to get control of the youth academy and then get in a director of football?

I can't imagine anyone at the club wanting to undermine Rafa by suggesting such a thing if he didn't want it either.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I do think he was a bit of a blagger with no real footballing vision or philosophy, and I don't think he's even a tenth of the manager Rafa is. Add to that his paranoia and penchant for unbelievably lame excuses, then I can understand where Niall's coming from.

So mate when he called us the fans "clueless" how did you feel? Especially at the time he was pissing away money on alehouse players and we were playing absolutely shocking footie.

It was the tipping point for me. Up until that point I was prepared to forgive him all of the above things you've mentioned because he did seem to genuinely care about the club.

As far as I'm concerned him and Rafa are like night and day. There's absolutely nothing he could do for Rafa or the club, nothing, except potentially spoil things.

And anyway it aint happening, I'm getting myself worked up over nothing. I'm off out now to enjoy myself.

I reckon Pako's been spending too much time with Stevie. He's just feeling a bit unloved and will probably change his mind tomorrow.

[tomasjj]

I mean, listen to yourselves...do you really believe there is an ounce of truth in this Ged rumour?!

Come on.

It is bollocks.

Are you saying gkmacca and Maestro ate the same poster?

That's the funniest typo since the one about politicians having to expect a certain degree of pubic scrunity.

[Ron_Mexico]

How about trophies and league positions under his predecessors?

roy evans wasn't that bad was he, statistically he has a higher win % than houllier

More bollocks than the Tranny thread.

[Rich]

Don't we need a new Chief overseas scout? Maybe Houllier can do that? There is no way he'll be near the players IF he were to return.

[JPK]

GH knows alot about football but his management skills may not have been the best.He is respected worldwide and would be a good man to oversee the youth set up and other football matters.If it's true then Rafa knows what he is doing.Gary Mc is the one I would love back here

[Tom]

all we need now is wikipedia and tribal to confirm and then its definite

left out the IronySmiley:
