Mourinho

[FoxForceFive]

I heard Terry had fallen out with him and that during one match Abromovich had Shevchenko translating, but never got the full details.

I assumed that his post match banters and sulks made him a bit of an internal joke.

Quite the opposite, not one player has even hinted at problems with Mourinho.

Torres & Drogba upfront anyone?

[tomasjj]

Makes me sick thinking about this.

Football died years ago, but this would be horrible.

If you are a good enough manager like Lippi or Capello and get backed in the transfer market then your team will have a great chance to win whatever league they are in.

Capello is a winner and a master tactician, the same goes for Lippi. They will know how to out tactic english teams.

The team that lead the league now isn't even playing PL style football. They play spanish style football.

We play Italian style football for example with very much down to tactics.

The point is that the league isn't based on one style of football anymore and that means that it's easier for a manager that hasn't got PL experience to be successful.

If the yanks arent doing what Rafa wants in terms of transfers, i doubt they'd sanction the kind of fee Drogba would command.

It was very much tongue in cheek, believe me.

It would however, be a sight to behold if it were possible.

Can you imagine Ian Cotton though?

"Drogba's out of today's game, due to...err...well, Carra booting him up in the air during training"

Bascombes article tomorrow is laughable. It's pure Sunday tabloid ****e.

Rafa' relationship with the board has....DISINTEGRATED

What alot of ****e.

**** OFF MOURINHO!

[tomasjj]

So, hypothetically speaking, when will Rafa (unbeaten in the league...) go?
When will Maureen take over?

RAFA BENITEZ will be sacked following his latest tirade against Liverpool owner Tom Hicks.

And former Kop hate-figure Jose Mourinho is the shock front runner to replace him.

Liverpool's American owners were already preparing to ditch the Spanish boss (left) after tiring of the constant behind-the-scenes bickering but this week's developments have sealed his fate.

It's now a matter of when not if the Spanish boss leaves Anfield and that's expected to be sooner rather than later.

Despite his epic Anfield bust-ups while at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho tops a wanted list already being assembled by the owners.

An approach will be made once Benitez's departure is confirmed.

The Portuguese boss may have his enemies on Merseyside, but he's recognised as one of the best and most sought after coaches in Europe.

Benitez showed no sign of ducking a fight with his hierarchy following yesterday's 3-0 win over Newcastle, despite knowing his job was on the line.

"It's clear Mr Hicks wants the best for the club. So do I," he said.

"We have been here for a long time and we know what the passion of football means and what the transfer market in Europe means.

"It's not a draft system. We have free players available now. I'm not talking about players that cost money.

"We need to talk to the agents now, if not we will lose targets. In the summer, the players will be more expensive. I have not been talking about spending but doing the opposite. We have brought money back. We brought in £26m this year and you can see the value of the squad.

"We had a meeting on the day of the Arsenal game which was really positive. After this, something changed."

They told me to be focused on coaching and training because Rick Parry will be looking after signing players."

Swing

Benitez won't walk away, adding: "I have passion for this club. The fans who were with me in Istanbul know what it means to me."

With no resignation on the horizon, Hicks (left) and Gillett are now ready to swing their axe regardless of Liverpool's league placing or Champions League progress.

Who cares? I mean honestly?

It isn't going to happen. No way.

It's a non story and it's Bascombe earning his crust as a sensationalist bull****ter who has a soap box to shout from.

[ningnangnong]

If they sack Rafa they are the most clueless ****s i know.

Yeah, excellent logic there.

Oh, yeah, apart from the fact two lads on our site got it in the week, & I found out Friday from an excellent source too.

It's not ****e, not matter how much you want it to be.

A truely laughable story that holds no weight whatsoever. Just goes to show how far out of the loop that idiot Bascambe is.

He never got anything from the yanks when he was writing for the Echo so he's obviously not getting info now that he's writing for the bag of ****e paper.
