Rafa backs down?

[tomasjj]

Rafa is a deadman walking

Keep hearing that.

100% proof that the owners are daft as ****.

Rafa is a deadman walking

He is and it's a ****ing disgrace.

[Lecter]

Keep hearing that.

100% proof that the owners are daft as ****.

Cant disagree

I'm absolutely gutted but I cant see him staying

Hicks wont sell, if he did Disney should buy the rights as the DVD would sell millions on Merseyside

The one consolation I have from all this is at least its opened many of the fans eyes to the "real situation" regarding our owners

Couldn't agree more with that.

However we are powerless.

They own the club and they will do what they want.

So much for respecting our history and heritage then...

They only respect their wallets and their ego's

So it seems there's no way back for these two clowns ?

It isn't proof though, it is the opinion of people on the internet and the odd jurno that has been proven wrong time and time again.
We should all just chill and see what happens, it seems we are all talking ourselves into a frenzie due to no new info.

The joke is that you are responding to an opinion of Lec's who was in turn responding to AFII's opinion.

Things can change fast in relationships too. If they wanted him sacked now then I reckon he would have been gone after the Newcastle game with his comments about the owners, and wearing a tracksuit etc. If they want to wait until the end of the season though, possibly with one eye on Mourinho's situation, then a lot can change between now and then.

I agree with Lawro for possible the first time ever - Parry needs to try and sort this one out, for the good of the club. He could really redeem himself in the eyes of the fans if he can build a working relationship between Rafa and the owners. The problem is, it sounds like he'd need to build one between him and Rafa first.

You are right, it isn't proof.

Maybe I should put in a disclaimer - IF it is true that Rafa is a dead man walking...? Would that be better for you?

I just find it very hard to chill, nevermind work, right now.


And I am not just basing my opinion on AFII - that would be well.... best say no more.

If they wanted Rafa gone he would be gone, Hicks recently sacked the manager of one of his teams without telling the CEO. This guy would have no fear about doing it. I really think that it is no where near as bad as all the insiders and talk on the street makes out.Rafa even said it wasn't that bad after the Newcastle game.
Why time after time as fans do we listen to the idiots that makes stories up and have no proof when time and time again they are proven wrong. The echo don't even have as great a links anymore, one interview with Hicks on the phone where Hicks repeats what he said in the statement 24hrs prior and we all think the echo know all.

Bit busy at the moment but Fair ****ing Play to Wenger there. Muchos respectos

That is my point we are all (myself included) getting worked up because of no news other than a couple of idiots on the internet and their stories about the word on the street, we even have people pushing an anti G&H agenda (and how much better DIC would have been without a shred of proof) with this when in all honesty they have done nothing serious yet, they have only possibly misunderstood a situation. Yesterday it wa Gerrard was behind it all as he wanted Rafa out, today Gerrard will leave if Rafa goes. The simple fact is there is proof that if Hicks does not want a manager he will sack them - he has jut done this in one of his teams. I think we should all chill, Rafa will be in charge for the remainder of the season.

[The Glove]

He will be in charge for the rest of the season, I dont think thats in doubt but its what happens after that that concerns us.

[Graybach]

It's absolutely ridiculous that we find ourselves in this position.

The team's going into December unbeaten in the league, 5 points off the top and possible 2nd if we win game in hand.

Confidence is high after a little dip and influencial players on their way back from injury. I've been saying all along that we've got a great chance to win the league and now all this!!!

It's ridiculous!! And it would only happen to us!

The other Clubs, like Utd and Arsenal, must be laughing their cock's off. We've become a laughing stock.

Surely G&T must see, or very least be told by Parry, that Raffa is the man for the job. Hell, even people on here who were slagging off Raffa only a couple of weeks ago are right behind him now.

Hicks, Gillette, Benitez and Parry need to sort this ridiculous situation ASAP. I can't believe that the Yanks just don't come over now instead of waiting for the Utd match. Whether it's sorted by a buy-out or whatever the worst possible outcome would be for raffa to leave our club.

This whole saga didn't bother me much to begin with but now I can see just how serious it all is.

I do think that it WILL get sorted to a certain degree but relationships have been soured for good.

It would not surprise me to see Raffa lift No.19 this season then leave the club thinking 'Job Done' and '**** you!'.

One other little thing, Los Rojos has said from day 1 that something like this would happen. He's been convinced of it like I'm sure many more of you who do business with Americans have been. And now he's been proved right. (first time for everything )
