dear god... hicks : we lined up klinsmann

[Parm]

See Tom, we were right. Their continued silence on the matter meant there was weight to the speculation and now its been proven. ****ing tossers those owners.

Id like a new manager, but not like this, not like this.

good point, very much pertinent to the whole mess we're in

[disco]

Setting aside the stadium and to use your term the cold hard fact that no one of us has actually seen it yet.

You have absolutely no problem with the inconvenience of them saying rafa's job is safe just a couple of weeks ago, and today's statement that they were negotiating with Klinsmann?

That they promised not to transfer the debt onto the club and are now actively seeking to find ways to do that?

You are very trusting, I must say.

Who are you talking to?

[homer1]

Does this idiot not realise that the way he is treating Rafa will undoubtedly have a bearing on who would replace him when he gets his wish? After seeing how Liverpool have been turned into a media circus, representing all that is wrong about the game, would anyone want to come on board??

I saw a reference to us being likened to the way Madrid is run - Newcastle is a far more appropriate analagy. I am embarassed at the way our club is being portrayed at a time when it should have been the making of us - Rafa deserves better ....... we deserve better

[Bari]

I dont think so no. I think his position is clear now. Win or be replaced. I see no wrong in that. He's got the tools in his armour to win the league or so I keep reading. He's had plenty of money and time to have made inroads into the league challenge.

Just my opinion mind. I dont want him sacked but if we carry on as we are, I see no reason to keep him on.

and another one exactly how I have felt since that lost against Reading

[John_Gotti]

This is one thing I have never done before but i would say this:

G&H are a disgrace. The sooner they leave the better.

You do not undermine your manager. We are not the barcodes or Tottenham. We are Liverpool and we always treat our Managers with respest even if they are crap.

I have always supported them and taken all the press stuff and rumours as crap.

Shame on you both. The sooner they sell up, the better.

[tomasjj]

This started because I implied people were being emotional, what's wrong with that?! I completely understand it. Doesn't mean I can't joke about it, sometimes you have to laugh at something so ridiculous (the situation NOT people's reactions)

However, I genuinely think people are over-reacting - emotional - without seeing what Rafa says about it all

It wasn't meant as a put down, but you started the direct abuse with 'stop bigging yourself up', which I've reacted to.

I think you will find that was posted after you were patronising others by laughing at their opinions.
And I fail to see how that is abuse btw.


Onwards...

[disco]

Whatever

[JCase]

Well to add to their long list of retractions, no debt, lovely new stadium, snoogy doogy, you can now put "rafa's safe with us" in the bin.

Anyone who goes for "insurance policy" bollocks .....

They were actively planning to replace rafa with klinsmann. Makes Klinsmann's denial look even better doesn't it?

Unblooodybelievable. What a shambles. FFS Sold to the bloody USA. Christ I hope these 2 hacks just sell up and leave and take bloody moron Parry with them. He can fooking go and manage another soccer franchise in the US

[Tom]

Not trusting in my opinion. Just patient.

They did say they were looking to bring him in should things not resolve.

They did resolve and they moved on.

They all acted like cunts, Rafa included, all bringing the good name of LFC through the proverbial mud.

Lets put it all behind us and make a challenge for the PL.

Rafa did no wrong. He was promised players, and didn't get them. What was he supposed to do. He played a blinder by lifting the lid on what these ******s are doing.

I don't think Rafa acted like a cunt when you consider that he had been stabbed in the back. He acted in a very good way if consider his situation.

[disco]

Without investigating which clubs do it (I know Spurs do), doesn't this just mean showing players as an intangible asset in the accounts?

So far we don't do this, but I can see how it would be an advantage.

Perhaps Rocket can confirm.

I'm assuming your second paragraph is your own speculation.

Your implying it would be the first cause of action or some sort of collateral on a loan, when it's anything but.

In reality if we really were in the **** because of lack of income (I'd suggest it would take far more than one year's non-qualification), then selling players is an obvious cause of action.

Rocket, coo-eee. Put those years of study to some use for us. FRS10 or something.

[MerseyCider]

What a pair of ******s.

Im for relplacing Rafa, but only for the right man. Klinsmman ffs? This is

[Jennings]

...
Now on sky sports they are talkin of rafa goin to newcastle...

It's a total balls up.

Please god make it stop!

There is no news here. News by definition has to be new. This is olds.
Nothing has changed.
Sky news are always sensationalist, they are an extension of the tabloids.

See my post above, I think - based on what was said - it's twisting something normal into something to get (unnecessarily) worried about.

If we were really in the **** - 2/3 consecutive years of non-qualification - our players would be leaving anyway

[kopdan]

Thats your opinion on it. Whether or not it all true, Rafa acted the cunt at the time.

But i'm sat here patiently waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks.
