Pako to leave - confirmed

[G]

I'm sure he'll be a loss but when you think about it,we've just made the best start to a season since Rafa came and it seems thats due to the changes Rafa made to pre season,changes Pako apparently didn't like so I'll trust Rafa on this.Him saying he's surprised about it though leads me to believe that Pako was just looking for an excuse to leave

[Morph]

Yeah, the timing of all this has made it much more complicated.

which makes me think it must have been something more serious that happened in the last few days before that toulouse match, otherwise I doubt he'd have left us in the lurch (l u r c h)

so crouch selection has something to do with it?

There are probably many people behind the scenes who have worked with paco long enough to at least mimic his role until Rafa finds someone good enough for the long term. I dont think this will have a negative effect at all, if paco has implemented his ideas then they will pretty much run themselves. And then we have Rafa.

Its a shame as Im sure Rafa has lost a friend and someone to bounce ideas off but thats all it is.

Yeah, I just read through the profiles of the staff at LFC.
It seems that we have people who have been working close to Pako and assisting him in his work, both on and off the training field. I reckon Rafa will sort it out with their help.

Don't normally watch Soccer Saturday, but saw 5 minutes of it today and Thommo seemed to give credence to the rumour that Paco might join one of the enemy.

I would imagine preventing that is part of the contractual issues being sorted out before he leaves. I suspect he will end up back in Spain but the other top teams would be foolish not to try and get him.

[tomasjj]

Pako wants to go back to Spain I think.
I doubt very much that he would shaft Rafa and go to one of our main rivals.

****ing hell that would make me sick.

[irishgeo]

if thats the case i think gardening leave could be in order until the end of his contract.

Of all the insiders on the internet he's the last one I would say is giving it the big I am and demanding attention. The only level of respect he's ever asked for is that which all posters should afford one another.

i disagree reds

i think the overall sentiments of gkmakka's posts are a fair reflection of the poster in question
