Big interview with Rafa in Echo

[AFII]

We might send a pigeon up next.

Don't bother, JAR will only shot it down.

[Reece]

Warnock is a **** - never misses an excuse to have a go at us.

He is such a hypocrite as well. Does he realise how ****ing stupid he sounds when he is killing Rafa for playing that weakened team against Fulham last season, yet once again he plays a weakened team in the FA Cup and then says (in his words on Goals on Sunday) "I'd like to give it a proper go next season".

Grrrrrrrrr.

[Snigger]

The people involve are generally no better than the media - how many times have you seen public support and backing of a manager from the chairman of a football club only for the manager to be sacked days later - it seems to happen everytime.

All of this, regardless of the spin people chose to put on it is speculation and you have to make your own mind up - but what is happening at Liverpool right now in terms of news is a well worn path in English football that usually results in someone being sacked.

did the fat man at newcastle not backl the fat head only last week and suddenly sack him today? I think this makes my point above quite well.

[redblood]

people not speculating would also put an end to the speculation

rafa is the medias current choice for witchhunt of the month, next month it will be someone else. im just surprised how many reds fans have got sucked in by it to be honest.

Thats why the media circus surrounding rafa has lasted so long.

That's to true mate although I think it's been going on since September.
How's tricks with ya la.

See my signature. I hate the gutter press in this country, they ****ing try to make instead of report the news. They put out 100 bull**** stories and if by lck they get ONE right then they say 'I told you so, we told you firs't blah blah blah.

I'm a boring **** I always wait for official confirmations and ignore the tabloids.

Anyway, **** the S*n, **** News of the W*rld, **** the Daily Star, **** the Daily Mirror, **** the Daily Mail, **** the Daily Express, **** off Mourinho, **** off Klinnsman..................... JUST **** OFF!!!

and bring on INTER!!!

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

"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.

"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 may not agree with his some of his tactics in the league but I would be amazed if he was kicked out in the summer.

If I had an employee who loved my company this much generate 26 million pounds in the summer from sales and a potential to generate 20 million plus in Jan( Risse, Crouch, Sissoko, Carson) I would be giving the guy a foot massage whenever he needs it.

[Robster007]

They have done in their last interview.

Link?

And yes I am a lazy ****er.

Sorry.

Link?

And yes I am a lazy ****er.

Sorry.

Unfortunately so am I,It`s on this site somewhere.

[Snigger]

You think I`m delusional because i don`t believe there is a problem between rafa and the board.i`ve listened to all concerned and they are all brushing it off as a communication problem.gillette mentioned that his marriage would be over if he didn`t know how to kiss and make up.

You still choose to think there`s a problem,I don`t.

Still don't think there was a problem?

[Johnny]

Still don't think there was a problem?

I`ll wait to hear Rafa`s point of view.

I`d expect that there has been contact between G+H and Rafa today to reiterate that he is fully backed by the board.
Klinsmann`s connection was weeks ago and he has now joined Bayern which means G+H considered replacing Rafa if he continued to mouth off in the press or got us knocked out of the CL.He`s now safe until the summer.with the correct results I believe he will be here next season.
Rafa has also said that he loves the club and wants to stay.

i`ll keep my toys in the pram until G+H say he`s sacked or Rafa says he`s leaving


I admire your tenacity on digging up my old posts but please don`t start stakling me.

[Flake]

You won;t hear Rafa's view point as he's been silenced by the board.

You're arguements have been like watching a small child put his fingers in his ears, screaming 'not listening, not listening' on being told that santa isn't real....


probable reply from Johnny....

'santa's dead?' not listening not listening or something equally pureile.

My arguement has been "Wait and see".Not throw your toys out of the pram or slit your wrists.

I'm not sure what the throwing toys out or wrist slitting you refer to is... but Hicks has made it clear he's either duplicitous or stupid.

You still want to contend he's neither.

enjoy.

No, your argument was:

"i`ve listened to all concerned and they are all brushing it off as a communication problem.gillette mentioned that his marriage would be over if he didn`t know how to kiss and make up."

Offering Klinsmann Rafa's job is a little more than a communication problem. Did Gillette **** another woman in case his marriage broke up? You are entitled to your opinion and I admire your stubbornness in argueing in the face of facts.

It's raining on Earth today.
