Rick Parry thread....

[tomasjj]

He felt that many of us were having a go at him without knowing the facts and just told me what he KNEW as fact. I can assure you that Chris's sauce is the best you can possibly get.

I have no problems sharing.

1. He said the owners promised a lot of cash when they took over but this didn't materialise and Rafa was surprised - hence the post Athens rant.

2. He said the two owners don't get on which is a FACT but Rafa going public with internal matters has bought them closer together.

3. He said they are determined to sack Rafa and will do it soon, failing that at the end of the season as they simply don't like him or his antics. (this obviously isn't taking into account the fans fury).

4. He said the only thing that can save Rafa is a "change in ownership" - I don't know what he means by this, could one of the owners sell up? I don't know.

5. He said Rafa does too much himself - stuff which are not his concern, which gets Parry's back up and now the owners are pissed off with it too.

6. Mourinho is just one of the candidates.

So....if this is true..

Rafa has called the owner out on the money issue. They didn't like that.

Rafa does too much, since he doesn't trust Parry allegedly. Perhaps Parry goes moaning to the boss - Rafa gets a rap and is pissed.

They don¨t like his antics?
Haha.... well, Rafa has balls and calls it like he sees it.

As for Mourinho? He can **** OFF!:bird:

So they don't like Rafa yielding too much power and being outspoken and calling the power people out - yet they'd like Mourinho to replace him?

Fair enough, Rash. Thanks for sharing.

I think they'll appoint Phil Neal.

[fah-q]

I'd say its Parry thats feeding CB, hardly a revelation I know but it puts his pieces into perspective as to which camp Parry is in and why as well.

It seems a yes man is exactly what they're after.

Would Parry be feeding Bascombe info about us having no mony in the summer and that G&H aren't talking as this is what Bascombe was spouting in the summer.

It is possible that only half of what Parry breastfed Bascombe is true. The Maureen and sacking Rafa part might be there to put pressure on Rafa to fall into line.

But that might be my gullible wishful thinking...

Thanks Rashid. Taking all this as truth, it doesn't surprise me about no money being available as the yanks never seemed to me to have deep pockets but resembled venture capitalists too used to using debt financing. The recent credit crunch in the US will have stopped that dead. It's all well and good showing us the plans for the new stadium, but it isn't financed yet.

But what shocks me most is that "they don't like Rafa or his antics". Like him, loathe him, who cares, as a business man even Stevie Wonder can see that he brings consistently high results and successes, which in the end makes you the money you're after. I've worked in investment banking for 15 years and i can categorically say that 50% of the people i've worked with/for are no-holds-bar cnuts! But they make money, and that's what matters. This is no different.

Sacking Rafa now will make a bad situation worse, like ****ting in their own bed and then trying to kick it out with their foot....

Which would hint that they wont sack him as they understand that any manager coming in would want to spend.

i tend to agree. from a business point of view the risks/costs are many :

pay-off for Rafa
money to rebuild team in new managers image
potential loss of momentum in challenge for premiership & CL
reduced revenue if team plays badly (we go out of FA Cup/Carling Cup etc)
fan backlash could also reduce marketing/merchandising revenue

plus some players might want to leave and would dig their heels in for a specific transfer that won't get LFC top dollar. IMHO as a business decision, you wait, see how the season and the relationship pans out. It's not like we're in mid-table with no chance FFS!

They wont pay 4mil for a player but will pay 6mil to sack Rafa?

[Rocket]

thanks for your insider info radish

That is my point, it is not likely. I think they will support Rafa until the end of the season, see how we have done and then decide what to do. I can see this all being a lack of understanding on their part and come Jan they will back him.

So you not sure about the info he has provided?
