Big interview with Rafa in Echo

[Snigger]

[QUOTE=Johnny;875848]This thread proves that no matter what happens some people will remain positive and some will remain negative.


I`ll remain positive until I read a statement from the yanks that Rafa is DEFINATLY sacked.That`s my nature.[/QUOTE

OK, but me, I'll just wait until I hear he's been DEFINITELY sacked as I don't know what definately is.

Actually no one is saying he will be sacked - just that there's trouble at mill

[Johnny]

why did you call yourself Quinncy originally then Quinncy?

Just got that,very good.

Only if you don`t listen to all the press statements coming from the club and want to believe there`s trouble.


Anyway,this has come full circle and I`m not gonna start again.

Yup, because Liverpool FC is well known for washing it's dirty laundry in public.

Because Superdan the cop found out my real name on my MSN profile and started calling me Johnny.It`s my name so I thought **** it if no one else is using it then I`d rather be called Johnny.Sort of copied Alex who was Clarkad before.I don`t even like the show Quinncy and am not called Quinn.

Rafa Benitez: Why the hell would I ever want to quit this fantastic club?
Jan 8 2008 by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo

RAFA BENITEZ today moved to quell speculation that he feels he is a "dead man walking" at Anfield.

In an unprecedented move, the Liverpool manager has lifted the lid on conversations he had with sections of the media which he believes lies behind the upsurge in speculation about his future at the weekend.

Benitez says he was forced into taking such an unusual step because he wants his thoughts to be made a matter of public record so the Liverpool fans can know exactly what he is thinking without fear of misinterpretation.

A clearly upset Benitez told the ECHO: "I was shocked when I was told about the stories in the Sunday papers and when I saw them for myself I was even more surprised.

"I don't know how many times I have to say I only see my future at Liverpool Football Club before certain people believe me.

"But I will say it again because it is really important that everyone understands this – I love the club, I love the fans, I love the city and I am very, very happy here.

"I do not see my future at Real Madrid or Inter Milan or anywhere else. I see my future at Liverpool and this is where I want to stay.

"So to see my name linked with other clubs in such a manner, as it was in certain Sunday newspapers, really disappoints me.

"And the fact that the newspapers said that the stories had come from a source close to me is what disappoints me most."

Benitez believes the stories which appeared in several Sunday newspapers stemmed from a private conversation he had with a group of journalists following the regular weekly press conference at Melwood ahead of the weekend's FA Cup tie at Luton.

But he remains adamant that the stories which appeared following Friday's briefing bear little relation to the conversation which took place.

"I was asked several questions about my future," he said.

"I answered honestly, saying that there had been misunderstandings in the past but they are now in the past and that I am now working very well with the club's owners and Rick Parry and we all have the same objective – to do our very best for Liverpool Football Club.

"Then, just a couple of days later, I see quotes that are supposed to have come from me or from a friend of mine saying I don't see my future at Liverpool.

"All I can say is no such quotes came from me and I know my friends well enough to know that they did not come from them.

"So I can only assume that the conversation I had with the journalists from the Sunday newspapers meant something different to them than it did to me. But they were not my words.

"That is why I am speaking to the ECHO, I want to clear up any confusion and put my side of the story."

As speculation about his future reaches fever pitch Benitez knows his position as Liverpool manager will continue to come under intense scrutiny if results do not pick up.

But he still believes the squad he has assembled will continue to improve – and he also believes it will happen under his stewardship.

"I want to completely commit myself to Liverpool Football Club," he said.

"I do not see my future anywhere else because I do not want to go anywhere else.

"I want to win trophies for my club, for our fans and for the people and I still believe we can do this.

"I think back to the Champions League Final in Istanbul, to the FA Cup Final in Cardiff, to the Super Cup Final in Monaco and so many other great occasions and I know just what this great club is capable of.

"The backing of the supporters has been fantastic. As I walked onto the pitch at Luton on Sunday the fans were singing my name and that means so much to me.

"That is why I want to achieve even more success and I believe we can do that.

"There has been so much improvement here over the last couple of seasons and I believe there is still a lot more to come.

"The squad is now the best it has been since I first came here and we have many young players who are only going to get better.

"So I have no wish to be at any other club. This is a truly special club which means so much to me.

"All I can say is that I want to be here this summer and many other summers after that."

I ****ing love this man ... All who question him are thick cunts end of story

I ****ing love this man ... All who question him are thick cunts end of story

I know you don't really believe that Nicey. Nowt wrong with questioning him...that doesn't mean one doesn't rate or worship the ground he walks on. It just means that we may not agree with everything he does.

[Nicey]

He has been absolutely great for this club, what he has acheived in such a short space of time is amazing, he should have earned the room to build his team without tosspots on his back ... I ****ing cant stand the section of fans who are calling for Mourinio Oxygen thiefs the lot of them

I mean its time to wake up smell the ****ing Coffee and stop dancing the tune of those utter utter cunts in the press ...

[livvy145]

A bit like when Bob changed his name to God?

Blasphemy

As I said in the 'Rafa appreciation thread' Rafa will always be a Liverpool legend for what he's achieved for the club in Europe.

However, I still don't see what the issue is with questioning some of his decisions?

I think the absolute majority of fans would prefer if Rafa stayed and continued to manage the club and that would only change (and rightfully so) if we had a calamitous season in the premiership (by that I mean finishing outside the top 4).

[Nicey]

Mate .. you are a sensible bloke and common sense says sure its ok to question his decesions on occasion sometimes you'll be wrong about that other times you'll be on the money But the fact of the matter is we need this man at the helm long term, there will be bumps in the road along the way but he can get up Number 19, He is one of the top 5 managers in the world, we would be hard pushed to find someone better, who fits into the Liverpool mould, he has only just got the keys to the candy shop and when he did there was considerably less stock than expected ...

It just riles me when these stupid fookers qoute Tabloid ****e somethings almost word for word a lot of the times coming from the Sun and expect the club our manager or our captain to respond EVERY ****ING DAY

I am sorry but bleeding Numpties

Yeah, I want him to stay but maybe change a couple of things he does. I really believe with another good striker and a couple of wingers we will have team that could destroy all put infront of us.
