dear god... hicks : we lined up klinsmann

[Sarb]

Fact is results on the pitch have deteriorated since Rafa, Hicks and Gillett had their public falling out. So all three have done a lot wrong in my opinion.

******s

[AFII]

Rafa's PC before the Luton game should be an interesting one.

[Mumsafan]

Knowing how f**ked up these imbeciles are, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Tina Arena.

[bazza76]

Are we in debt like Utd?
Are there plans on the table for a new stadium?
Snoogy Doogy = Torres
Rafa is still in charge and we've been told his job is safe

Not much wrong yet

I agree with you Dan,
Although, I have to say, I am not impressed with Hicks going to Clinsman for advice on English Football and trying to make him an insurance policy if Rafa leaves, and then, going public with it.
What makes it worse too, it was ****ing Kilnsman

[Reece]

******s

Jesus. Show some respect for our bloody manager.

Have you seen them yet?
Last one they showed us isn't getting built...

Snoogy Doogy = Torres

bought with debt....leeds united ring a bell

Rafa is still in charge and we've been told his job is safe

Jesus, we've just heard that they were negotiating with Klinsmann. I admire your trust but feel its misplaced.

As put in the other thread, it puts klinsmann's denial in context doesn't it?

[kopdan]

Fair enough yes. Hicks maybe should not have said it.

But in my mind, the matter must be resolved for him to have said it. Rafa's job is safe as long as results go our way....which is how it should be from now on.

Do you want a bit of help with the spelling of Klinsmann there Bazza

[Venton]

Well, hate to say it but no surprise.

It confirms 2 things, firstly the Klinsmann stories were spot on. Secondly, the 2 wanks are actively plotting to get rid of Rafa.

What a ****-up, anyone who doesn't think otherwise now is living in la la land sorry.

Basically they are making Rafa's job impossible for him. This statement from hicks deliberately undermines the manager.

That's not all, this morning I heard that one of the options they are discussing is ofsetting debt against players.....

Who are our most valuble players and what happens to them if we get into financial trouble e.g. not qualifying for the champions league.

I agree it confirms the Klinsmann stories but am not sure about them actively plotting to get rid of Rafa after reading the whole story.

I also agree it is a complete fcuk up - it should never have been spoken about in the press which leads on to your next point about it undermining Rafa. I'm not sure if Hicks has done it to deliberately undermine him though, I just think he is monumentally stupid. However, I may be wrong with that.

As for your last point our only assets are our ground and our players so the debt surely will always relate to them?

Having disagreed with you in the past I'm still a long way from your position but I admit I have moved closer today.

[JohnDoe]

Rafa's PC before the Luton game should be an interesting one.

"Rafa, what do you think about Hicks admitting to offering Klinsmann the job should you leave?"

"I am focused on training and coaching my team"

[zimbo]

Jesus. Show some respect for our bloody manager.

Just a pity Beevis and Butthead didn't.

[kopdan]

Last one they showed us isn't getting built...
I dont deny it, but we are at least looking to build one


bought with debt....leeds united ring a bell
Not sure who would knw this as fact



Jesus, we've just heard that they were negotiating with Klinsmann. I admire your trust but feel its misplaced.
We were yes it would seem. Seems like it was al going to come to an end a few months back but as Hicks said, its all cool now. Why should I believe the opposite? Because someone on here tells me to?

So Rafa, calling these pricks for what they were in order to secure funds for our team, funds they were so willing to promise, is to blame.

Have word with yourself. Can't you see that he has put his job on the line trying to get what we want!

Think about it.

[tomasjj]

'Bigging myself up'?

I'm fairly worried. However, I firstly wanted to see the full article - which spins a different light from the first headlines - and now I want to see Rafa's reaction.

I'll resist getting truely worried and sending e-mails to RBS () until then, if that's ok.

It is ok to have a differing view. I just don't see why you have to be so patronising about it.

Your last sentence is another such put down.

[Pacman]

I feel sick to my stomach I really do.
