Gone with his tail between his legs.Originally posted by Kaip View Postwheres this foster Gillette, he should be sorting this mess outBill 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

One thing you can say about the Glazers and Fergie is that they don't slag eachother off across the Atlantic. Liverpool have shot themselves in the foot and the 'Americans' have shown themselves up to be ****e man managers and about as graceful as Pacman in a Tutu.
Rafa has been the architect of this. Despite his frustrations he should NOT have aired his grievances in public because by doing so he forced the Yanks to do the same.
I am not happy with rafas actions. Granted he may have legitimate reasons for being pissed off but his handling of the matter has been appalling. I do not like the way he tends to hold the club to ransom to get what he wants.Fernando Torres
I dont just love him, I'm IN love with him

True
This entire episode makes me cringe. Even Madrid at the height of the Galactico era did not talk to the media to communicate with the manager. If Rafa leaves, can you imagine any top manager coming here with an owner who shoots his mouth of at the first available opportunity.
Rafa was wrong in using the media. But where have the owners management skills gone. Atleast Rafa is a football person. Even if he makes a mistake he is the most valuable person at Liverpool. Talk to him, try to defuse the situation.
This has shades of Freddy Shepherd going to the media and stating "Bobby Robson may leave at the end of the season".
BTW, What the hell is Parry doing.

So in what way should he talk to G&H then when they don't even answer his emails? If that's true.Originally posted by Jazzmaster View PostRafa has been the architect of this.

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.

That's an optionOriginally posted by Red Chilli View PostCarrier pigeon

G&H didn't exactly leave Rafa with many other options than to use the media. It worked, he got an answer.Just believe and you never know what will happen.

Rafa doesn't think they have faith in or resepct for him. He's deliberately creating a zero sum game, where they will either back him or sack him. It's obvious he doesn't want to waste his time working for people who cant or won't support him.Originally posted by Jazzmaster View PostRafa has been the architect of this.

I watched that too and I got the feeling that if G&H don't come over before the Man U game and sort everything out, then he is off.Originally posted by SpeedyG View PostRafa doesn't think they have faith in or resepct for him.

Thats exactly the feeling I got.
