Rafa backs down?

"Pepe, can you tell us how much support there is for the manager in the dressing room?"

You can guess his answer.

Nothing really to report....although I did get the impression Reina seemed slightly....bewildered by it all? Maybe it's just me but he seemed resigned to something.

I thought he looked bored whilst he waited for everything to be translated into spanish. More of a situation of I can't beieve I am being asked this and it is taking so long.

I only look at what usually happen when a new manager takes over a club in the next transfer windows.

The new manager will bring in his players and build his team. Some players are playing for us because Rafa is the manager and not because we are Liverpool FC.

Just like Drogba etc... were all leaving Chelsea when Mourinho left but have had a change of heart since the new guy took over.

The amature psychologists are out in force. God help us the worlds about to end!

Will you all man the **** up and stop trying to disect every quote from people to see what they mean?

As I said...nothing to report, no dramas. Just commenting on how I perceived his mood. And as Chris says, he's hardly gonna be on top jokey form.

Rafa seemed in decent form though.

Players will go/stay where ever they are wanted, paid the highest and have the best chance of silver.

A lot would depend on the new manager coming in. I think it is inevitable some will leave but I can't see a mass exodus if it ever comes to that.

No matter where they go they'll never play for a bigger club than Liverpool so that would matter to them.

[AFII]

This whole saga has told me that AFII is never happy and looks for the negative in every situation, it is like he loves all this ****. AFII gets to post loads and repeat the papers like they are facts and Rashid goes off on one.

I'm happy when we win games or when the club or the manager don't acts like kids.

If you look at my posts then you will discover that I post a lot of positive ones.

Just because I'm realistic doesn't mean that I'm negative or never happy.

I admit I don't know some of those players but very few black players

Jul 97: Martin Dahlin (AS Roma) £2.5m - Black Swedish player .

It would also probably mean that we will miss out on the CL next season and that means that it will be very difficult to sign any quality player at all to replace the players that will leave.

Bayern did okay on the recruitment front this season.

[AFII]

He systematically campaigned against Parry and Moores as much as is possible on an internet site.
Now Moores has sold up he's on the whinge again.

Are you happy that Moores sold out to G&H when you look at what happened the last week?

I'm not.

Martin Dahlin, followed by Nathan Blake.

Cheers for that.

Although those two were late in Walker's tenure, and my mate reckons the issue was a Walker/Kenny thing - Dalglish wanted to sign someone, a black player, and Walker ALLEGEDLY wouldn't allow it.

Maybe he mellowed as he got older.

Can't see that being true. My old man knew Jack reasonably well and also knows his son and he thinks he was a decent geezer and they are a nice family. I also know that he took some financial advice from an Asian gentleman at one time so i'd be very surprised if there's anything in that.

To be honest they've probably all been told to stop talking about the situation in public, and that includes Hicks, so that the press have very little to go on and keep writing about in the hope that we can move forward and carry on our season in relative peace.

The press are just dying for another quote to twist and blow this story wide open again because, to be fair, it's running out of legs already.

Rafa and Pepe were probably told to make sure they never got what they were looking for.

They have not exactly had a chance to leave yet

I backed Moores AFII so you're not going to get me with that one.
