Benitez thread

[red g]

its all a big blag between Rafa and the Americans to keep the costs down for players......if it appeared that we were minted prices would rocket. If the clubs in turmoil we can pretend to be having financial issues !!

dont believe that for one minute, but we can wish

Thats bloomin good thinking that and if so bloody genius.

The Yanks have done one thing right which is the stadium, however with the refinancing and the debt is it right? long term probably yes.

The Mancs have a different business model, they already have a massive stadium bringing in excellent revenue, and they have optimised other revenue streams for donkeys years well before us, things like exploiting Asian and US markets, TV Channel etc.

The Scum bags moved with the times during the advent of the Premiership, our board were stuck in historical times, this lack of movement at that time is still causing us problems today.

Exactly. I said something similar in another thread. Man U, Arse, and Chelsea-though they are a special case are miles ahead of us financially. We dont have the firepower and even when the stadium is built it will take a while to catch up. The only thing we can do in the meantime is to win things but unless we have the quality that will be hard. Hard decision should have been made 10+ years ago.

Does Rafa need to spit the dummy when things dont go his way all the time. He seems to hav alot of power at LFC. Whats Parry doing in all of this? If Foster G has pissed off back to America whats Parry up to?

Its becoming more obvious that these Yanks had and have a poor understanding of running an EPL club. What could be the motivation? The club will no make them money unless they invest heavily. After the initial euphoria it just seems like one thing after another with these 2 guys.

nothing worse than when you cant even believe yourself is there mate

[Shaggy]

Honestly mate no. I cant for the life of me understand what all the palava is about, actually I think you English boys are suppressing your feelings about your national team being a pile of Arse and your are projecting on our beloved Liverpool FC and Rafa B not to mention the Marvelous G&T

Cut them all some slack and stop fighting fire after fire

Nicey…..Nicey Nicey Nicey.

Okay, so you think “nothing has gone on”. That’s all well and good, but how do you explain Rafa’s thoroughly pissed off press conference yesterday? How do you explain Tom & George’s hastily-released statement that followed Rafa’s bizarre PC appearance?

As for the comment about England….FFS man, come off it.

I like the fact that this is one conspiracy Nicey doesn't believe in, although I would rather he didn't make our manager sound like a renegade spice girl.

In all honesty does anyone know the reason for Foster Gillett's going back to the US. It might be to negotiate for more funds, for personal reasons for all manner or reasons in fact. The trouble is that at the minute we have to work on supposition and rumour which is being fanned by the media as they want a story.

Thanksgiving?

Dave U and The Count aren't the same person, The Count's about Crouchie's height and sometimes plays 5-a-side against Dave U.

It was Chris Bascombe who mentioned Forlan. Forlan was a name on the list of possible targets. This was the list that was brought into play after the owners admitted we'd not actually be able to afford Eto'o and co after all. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liver...name_page.html

He mentions a fee for Forlan there of £16m-£18m. Torres cost us £18m.

He also says "Unless the club’s American owners are more specific on what Benitez can afford, he’ll continue to monitor his alternative list of strike targets."

Now it was after that, unless I'm mistaken, that Count Morfeo posted his angry thread about us getting no money. A few posts further down he clarified that he mean no extra money. Rafa's alternative list was based on what he could afford if he spent the dosh we already had. If the owners had put some more money in he'd have moved onto the list we all hoped he was going to buy from.

Pre****ingcisely. Nice post mate

[Jimthered]

If he does get the England job at least we wont have to listen to him whining about a transfer budget

[Scoustastic]

Rafa must be the manager for the future.
