Rafa Leaving?

[Maestro]

The statement doesn't exactly back Rafa but if they had game him a ringing endorsement the press would have twisted it as the dreaded vote of confidence wouldn't they?

Why would they give a toss what the press think?

[reddragon]

Yeah, and I can turn water into wine. I'll be the knobhead that gets thrown out.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

if rafa is gonna walk out on his cos he cant get what he wants right now then **** him. he owes it to us to see it out. and if those gob****e yanks think its bad with rafa, imagine the crybaby **** we would have with that cunt mourhinio. get the ****in house in order. both sides stop actin like bitches. we gotta big game on weds and bigger things to come after that. all this **** can wait until we have lifted number 19 at the end of the season. walk on

The statement more or less said that they won't sack him before the 16th so it's up to Rafa if he want to stay or not and don't discuss transfers before then.

The £6m or whatever Rafa will get if he is sacked is probably our best chance to keep him right now. It looks like our owners don't want to pay him that money and Rafa probably want them.

A Shankly quote should be made broad and wide:

"In Football you have a holy trinity, the players, the manager and the supporters, the directors are just there to sign the cheques"[/QUOTE]

That one wins for me

If they're in LFC for profit, that's fine. But if that all they're in it for, then they can fo, the sooner the better. The silly, rich sods don't know the value of the 'bauble' they have added to their 'franchises' (puke).

Why would they give a toss what the press think?

Bit they do, why else would they respond to Rafa's little prompts?

[Tinkerbitch]

I would laugh heartily!

So would I, after I calmed down.

Why would they give a toss what the press think?

Not sure. They obviously feel the need to keep responding to comments and stories though.

Why would they give a toss what the press think?

Well, if they didn't they would have kept their mouths shut today.

[Morph]

hahahahaha

hahahahaha indeed.

Seconded.

Ridiculous.

leave him be, he's only showing concern for his club

[kurtangle01]

Well, if they didn't they would have kept their mouths shut today.

Or, just to play devils advocate, the stories have some weight behind them but Gillett & Hicks realise that with a run of important matches coming up, matches that will shape our season, they don't want to rock the boat to much and want to keep the players and manager focused...

[tomasjj]

But Rafa did look happy after the match, and said it was not that serious. He allegedly also have had a meeting with Parry prior to the match to sort some of the issues.

I'm not having a pop, I'm asking you to stop questioning Speedy for posting the links to the papers. If people use them and they help in any miniscule way to keep Rafa then there's no point asking why we should email them. We're Liverpool fans, we (well the majority, might not include yourself) want Rafa to stay so we have the responsibility to put a bit of effort in if we want to keep our club the way we want it

Where did i ask why we should email them?

Wind yer feckin neck in.

[The Glove]

Everyone wind their neck in.

[kurtangle01]

One thing's for sure. The press wont let this lie and if we fail to win on Wednesday the stories will get worse.

You could argue that Rafa put himself in his position and he better have his hard hat on when facing the press if all goes wrong.

On the flip side. If we qualify for the knock out stages the press will no doubt say that's what saved Rafa.
