[ronan]

****ing clowns the lot of them
these ****s should be given the welcome they deserve next time theyre over their big game
they have burned all bridges far as im concerned.

[Jayesh87]

This is not the 'Liverpool Way'

[PTP]

these two guys have really ****ed up - how long ago it seems they were waving their dollars on ssn and saying we are signing snoogy doogy - ****ing clowns - it's an embarrasment and it is really effecting the club on and off the pitch.

i decided yesterday, for now i no longer support LFC - i support Fernando Torres FC






(awaits some clown to take me seriously and give me **** about supporting lfc whatever etc etc etc etc)

What's even more worrying is who they'll turn to when they sack Rafa - if they wanted Klinnsman who's next on the list? Gullit? Bruce Arena? Stevie Nicol?

[dww]

....which was a failure. They were at home FFS. They should've won it or at least got to the final. What Germany did merely matched South Korea at the previous World Cup.

He also had a right-hand man who was the brains behind the operation - Joachim Low. Klinsmann was a figurehead...a motivational type.

As for Bayern...he'll do okay there cos any of us could win the league with them.

I'm not sure I would see it as a failure but it was certainly not a particularly outstanding achievement. I agree with you in general but I do think that Klinsmann has good contacts and is a good communicator and seems willing to learn from many different sources. Right now he should be nowhere near a list of managers to take over at LFC but given a few years he might become a top manager - right now he isn't.

Bayern is a good environment to judge him as they have been relatively poor in the last few years but they have money and will almost certainly be shoe ins for the title which will mean he will regularly get to compete in the CL. It will be interesting to see how he gets on without Low.

All I will say is

THANK GOD RAFA LOVES US

cos if I was him I would of walked. What sort of pressure is this bloke being asked to work under. It's not as if the job doesn't have enough pressure alligned to it. FFS.

Please, please, please sing his name if you are so lucky to go to the game.

[BFG]

I'm so genuinely gutted by this that I don't know whether to be angry, sad or what.

Never been so lost for words with regards to LFC.

[Dhav]

He is a genuinely clueless cowboy. It makes it all the more remarkable that this clown has made so much money - although he seems to be hated within every sporting 'franchise' he's involved in.

Just like his Texas buddy, Bush.

He knows nothing of Liverpool and the way we do things. For the good of our club these clowns need to **** off out or our club as soon as possible. They've turned Liverpool into a zoo and made it impossible for Rafa to get on with his job.

I don't think he'll bother much if these guys are still there long enough mate. Rafa is young and there must be a bunch of great clubs wanting his services.

Another Crystal ball post.Rafa didn`t get sacked after a PUBLIC outburst against the Yanks.If the results go his way he`ll still be here next yr.

[Maestro]

Simply outrageous. We're slowly becoming a classless laughing stock.

It's blatantly clear that Hicks is using the press to undermine the manager even further.
Sure, clubs often have back-up plans in place should a manager leave/be pushed, but when have you ever heard a chairman discuss it IN THE PRESS when the present manager is still in the job? It beggars belief.

This is the kind of car-crash that happens at clubs like Spurs, Villa and Newcastle. It's a hugely embarrassing circus now. No doubt the media find this completely

[kopdan]

I think you have to look at it carefully. The owners know how we feel about Rarfa. They are not going to just sack him and expect us to like it.

It may be that this is the way Hicks deals with things...being open.

We all day want to know whats going on at LFC...well Hicks just told us.

Perhaps they did line up Klinsmann
Perhaps Rafa was going to leave as I do remember rumours coming out.

Perhaps things are all ok now and this is just the owners telling us what happened.

Would be suicide now for Hicks and co to part company with Rafa..especially when they know we'll be mightly pissed off.

[el matador]

lets tell our owners what we really think about them.

has anybody started an online petition to ask the owners to leave the club ?

Similar to the one that we did for Rafa to stay on as manager of liverpool fc.

If nothing else, it might just get some headlines in the press as to how unpopular our owners really with the fans.

Negative publicity is never good for owners looking to secure big finance for the future of the club. Its petty but ive just had it with these two - they arent good for us or our future.

Its time the fans took this upon themselves.
