dear god... hicks : we lined up klinsmann

[kurtangle01]

Just read the full statement again and still feel that they are trying to get him to walk

My feelings as well. And at the same time they're trying to look like the good guys...it's backfiring on them terribly.

Make no mistake, this isn't some kind of naive off the cuff statement. It's a deliberate attempt to humiliate Rafa in public. They are trying to force his hand, they're basically admitting no confidence. How can you possibly run a team with this running over your head?

Cunts, ****ing cunts.

Theres someone behind you Tom.

I think Jose would be a gre.......runs away

dan they have publically humiliated the man. im sure owners talk to prospective managers all the time but to ****ing announce it? i feel like burning something down ffs

I agree.

It's classless and snakelike in the extreme. I had previously stuck up for the owners against all the flak they were receiving on these boards but this whole Klinsmann debacle has left a very sour taste in my mouth. I don't trust them. How can anybody trust them after this?

Our performances on the pitch have been very poor and that in itself has heaped pressure on Rafa and justifiably so. But after this Klinsmann ****e the pressure must now be immense. And what about the players? How can they get on with their jobs when it appears that the manager they're playing for is a dead man walking?

Rubbish on the pitch and classless off it. Depressing stuff all round.

I don't think Jose would want to work for these two, I don't see that any top manager who has his pick of clubs would choose to work with two such disloyal and untrustworthy bosses.

And to be honest, I don't disagree with you but these **** wits wanted Klinsmann ffs. Sounds like he was their first choice 'insurance' target.

only because Jurgen is american though

It's a mess and anyone who thinks the Hicks doesn't realise the impact of making such a statement really doesn't comprehend how these people think. They are playing a game of Chess and trying to force Rafa to go. There was no need to go public with their statement. No need whatsoever.

Just soemthing else to think about. If, in their eyes, Klinsmann is an outstanding candidate, which clearly he's not, who the **** was second on the list?

Cash waiving and snoogy doogy was Gillette. Hicks is much more of a shark IMHO. Sorry to have to disagree with you, but I can't put an innocent construction on this like you have. We dealing with a ruthless leverage merchant. He'll know what effect his words are having.

Credit Crunch.

There's six million reasons why Rafa wont walk.
