Liverpool co-Chairmen Tom Hicks and George Gillett have today released the following statement.
"We made a significant investment in the playing squad during the summer and desperately want this team to succeed.

"There are some very important games coming up in the next couple of weeks and all of us need to focus on winning those games and getting the best out of the players we already have at the club.

"We will leave any talk of buying or selling players until we come across to Liverpool in December and sit down with the Manager then."

wtf???

FFS!
What caused them to come out with that!!

What does that even mean?
Cloak and dagger stuff.

Getting the best out of players at the club, not discussing transfers before December. Not like this **** needs working on in advance of the window?

Ah them Yanks...They believe they spunked a lot in the summer do they?
Net?

[dww]

Seems it may be that Rafa' s having the sam eproblem as in summer ie. he wants to get deals tied up now and they want to wait until the decent players have gone elsewhere before thinking about buying someone.

I'd go with that.

We don't have a pot to piss in

I thought Foster Gilett is living over here to stop that exact thing happening?

I think something big must have happened this week between the owners and Rafa. Rafa said today that he's not had the best of weeks and now we get a statement like this I mean, what's the point in even releasing a statement? I'm baffled

Exactly. About £23m. In this day and age that is not particularly "significant investment".

I'd go with that.

Pretty obvious isn't it.

Doubtless we'll be left behind, again, as the likes of United snap up the likes of Garay...

May G & H are just used to the American system of having a coach focusing on coaching only and a admistrative type only General Manager bringing in the players. So when Rafa is talking about players they are think just shut the **** up and coach.

I think they have gotten that message on how it is done here earlier.
They do have General Managers there, and Owners supply cash for them.

It really baffles me when you consider that the 2 fellas who own our club probably know less about the sport than the majority of people who post on here.

Sort your act out you pair of ****wits.

[Revo]

the truth be known rafa still hasnt got his head around the changes on est. he couldnt believe the chat chat forum was renamed off topic and now has no stroke material that the nsfw forum has also gone

[StevieG08]

Well the yanks will lose a lot of support if they fail to back Rafa, and it's looking like there is a problem behind the scenes. I guess it's worrying when you take these comments and match them up with reports of how they both run their 'sports franchises' over there with very little funding for their various teams etc.

[AFII]

If they plan to talk to Rafa in a couple of weeks time then it will probably be to late to sign the best possible players in January.

Rafa need to know what type of players he can bring in now and not in a couple of weeks time.

What a joke.

[FT9]

errrrrmmmm

Weird statement to be coming out with?
