    Rafa to go at the end of the season wether we like it or not.


    Could be the answer. The weird thing in all this is that it looks like they don't more or less speak to each other.

    No problem at all to set up a video conference and sort everything out if it can be solved.
    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

        There is clearly something very seriously wrong behind the scenes & has been since the CL final outburst from Rafa. G&H were brassed off with that & will be by yesterdays press conference.

        Whatever the rights & wrongs of the situation Rafa has 2 choices, either put up with G&H or leave. Any power struggle will only go one way, the way of G&H.

        Like it or not G&H are businessmen and will make business not footballing decisions. I think money will be tight until the new stadium is finished. Rafa should know well in advance whats happening cash wise in January but G&H won't care about that, their God is the bottom line, not trophies in the cabinet.

          Given all the work Rafa has started at academy/youth level through to the reserves, any change in management would be severely damaging to Liverpool FC in the long term. IMO

            yes, and what will the Spanish contingent be thinking.
            Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
            'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'

            "Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

            * After Tommy Lawrence had let in a fluke goal between his legs

              ermm i take that back. just listened to the press conference. he was practically choking on his words when he said about 'focussing on my players' the last time. perhaps reading too much into it but it seems to me he's really on the verge.

              something needs to turn around with this otherwise it looks to me like its rafa off come the summer - if not before. not like he doesnt have any teams after him is it...

              why would rafa get so arsey after the CL? because the yanks are v non-committal or indeed reluctant to work on and plan their investment in the team. as they seem to be again now. is rafa wrong to say 'now give me some cash to invest in the team?' Are the yanks right to say 'prove to us that you can achieve with what you've got?' or 'more cash when the stadium arrives'? probably a bit of both really. The fact that we can't keep this in-house is alarming tho isnt it.

                Maybe Hicks should take his own advice and shutup and concentrate on owning the club

                    all this **** is really starting to annoy me now, here's an idea why don't they all shut the **** up get on with the job and stop giving interviews to any old ****er. Like a gang of school kids, soft *******s the lot of them.

                      Strangely enough I stay away from the Irish bars, I like 1516 or the Shebeen, how about yourself?

                        You know what, despite my hatred for the scum, I have to say that the Glazers are an example of how Hick and Gillette should conduct themselves. They splashed the cash and are rarely, if ever, in the media.

                        What is going on now is just not the Liverpool way.

                          This is a bit reminiscent of Abramovich not giving Moureen the money he wanted last season.....

                            “We made a significant investment in the playing squad during the summer and desperately want this team to succeed,” said the statement"

                            You did not. You made an investment below par. Moores had that window in 2001!

                            1) The boost in income from the new TV deal.
                            2) The promise you made when you took over in Feb/Mar makes 23mill£ look like a joke.
                            3) The squad was/is in dire straits compared to Scum, Chel, Arse. Goes without saying that we need heavy squad investment. More so that Scum,Chel,Arse. Just like Scum/Arse is ahead of us stadium-vice. Chelsea will get there if the mob wants it but they don't need it like we do.

                            You DID NOT deliver the goods G&H. I said it in June/July and I'll say it now. The Count was spot on.

                              Classless by LFC. All very embarrassing.

                              F**k knows how this is going to pan out but we know that Rafa is a proud man and if he feels like he's been undermined in public (in response to his continuous challenges to the owners via the media) then he could easily walk.

                              Let's be clear, both Rafa and the owners have acted in a very un Liverpool way over the last few days. Something will give.

                              We better beat Newcastle on the weekend .

                                The one thing you don't do is make business demands on a yank over thanksgiving - Rafa timed this one all wrong.

                                Storm in a tea cup though. They'll all be out on the lash in mid december couple of chrimbo yokes and a bit of sniff and they'll all be best buddies again.
