Benitez thread

[Jayesh87]

Of course not - do you really think that negotiations will stop and wait until the chairmen come to Liverpool?

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

If he was going to leave though, what possible attraction would the England job have? It's a manager's graveyard / media circus / bizarre medieval freakshow all rolled in to one.
Be just as well to paint a target on his back and stand outside an American high school waving a 'Marilyn Manson is a tit' placard.

If he does go it won't be for England.

And lets not jump to conclusions eh lads? Montse might've made a dodgy curry last night and Rafa had the runs this morning.

Good news, he would bring Kuyt with him and offer England a goalscoring threat.

[tomasjj]

ha ha I doubt that mate ............... but I can see them having a preference for a 'coach' who focuses on the pitch only ............. it's how American and for that matter continental sports is organised

Well, their comments earlier indicated that they did not know a lot about a football club, and how to run it, but more on sports franchises. Lets hope that doesn't mean marginalising Rafa.
I am sure Rafa, who experieced this in Valencia, have raised his concern about this earlier and gotten reassurances.
Things could change if they don't think Rafa is doing it well enough though...but that would be bad,

So why the ominous press release. Rafa hasn't been this pissed since Athens and you could understand why. There's no smoke w/o fire.

Last time it looked like they had a misunderstanding we ended up with Torres. All this could be a smokescreen for a big money transfer, who knows?

I would rattle that Claire Rouke on LFC News

He's rejected job offers from Madrid, Inter and Munich.

He's clearly happy at Anfield, nothing to worry about.

Wait until January.

They let him buy Torres this summer lets not forget.

Really he should stop whinging and get on with it.

Lets be honest he has much more to spend than most. I thought he said he doesn't need fortunes to win.

Sure, I want to see more quality brought in. But we've got to be realistic as well. The yanks aren't going to spend money they don't have.

Do we want G and T to behave like Peter Risdale, or do we want them to give a decent transfer wedge to the manager and let him get on with it?

You could do that in FM 2008 ?

This is no smokescreen mate lol.
Put it this way, there is no way our new American owners will want any bad publicity in any shape or form. Especially not from the manager, Again.
I only know about what I have read at the start of this thread, but it does not look good. He already walked out on Valencia after winning a League and UEFA cup double.
He does need to show us fans a bit more respect though. If he has issues with the owners, he should do his talking and bargaining behind closed doors, not at news press conferences.

LFC Now is ****e - probably recorded before lunch

you get my pm earlier mate?

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Lad on TLW reckons he had a barney with the Yanks and was told to conentrate on coaching the team. Might explain why he sarcasticly answerd about coaching his team 10 times.

Are we going to have these falling outs at every transfer window?

Come on mate, when it comes to "insider" stuff, that website is a complete joke.
