Dubai International to make bid for Liverpool FC

[Johnny]

Wel Johnny I humoured you with a well thought out response, which you didn't bother to respond to, which maybe suggests you're on a bit of a wind up.

sorry,I`m getting ripped a new one here and am trying to keep up.I thought I`d answered all your posts.They were pretty good posts.

Johnny you said this.....

And If Rafa hadn`t ****ed about in the CL leaving us with 3 must win games and then mouthing off in the press thus driving a wedge between himself and G+H then they would have had no need to talk to Klinsmann.

The problem with this is that Rafa only mouthed off after G&H had had their meeting with Klinsmann.

So why talk to Klinsmann before that PC? Do G&H have a Delorean?

[disco]

Rafa uses his friends in the media to pass messages to the board and fans. His favoured journalists, like Guillem Balague and Chris Bascombe, will 'create' stories about interest in Benitez (or players he wants) from other clubs. This tactic is not unique but it is very effective as Joe Public nearly always believes a story, however unfounded, if it's in the papers or on the telly (and this thread is conclusive proof of that).

Rafa has used this approach before when he was at Valencia where he also took on members of the board. I always wondered why, despite his magnificent record and hero status with the fans, Valencia never made more of an effort to keep him when we approached him as Manager. Even Wikipedia quotes "in the summer of 2004, coach Rafa Benitez decided to leave the club (Valencia) stating he had problems with the club president"...

Before you think I'm anti-Rafa, I repeat again I'm not. I think he's a terrific coach even if his cautious tactics are at times frustrating. But I certainly don't feel sorry for him over the Klinsmann situation because Hicks was only playing the same game as Benitez. However, Rafa is very shrewd and does it stealthily through his trusted group of sycophantic journos whereas Hicks just blurted it out in an interview as if it was a sordid secret he was concealing.

I nearly suggested this, but didn't have the balls on this board.

Fair play to you

says it all for me. it amazes me how no matter how many times some women get battered they go back to their blokes. it's like this with some deluded dimwits on here.

Yes, when will people realise that H&G have lied to us, they most likely lied to Moores, & there is plenty of evidence out there that they have lied to every sports club they've bought.

****ing hell fire. How is anyone sticking up for the Redneck ****ing Texan ballbags

Johnny get a grip mate. Hicks and Gillett have bought LFC without putting any of their cash in. Want to load it with debt when they said they wouldn't. They said they'd invest in players...yet they used loans to do this. Made even bigger tits of themselves when scaling down the stadium design after a big fanfare

I'm not convinced about Rafa long term but still to talk to Klinsmann as an insurance policy is laughable.

**** the Yanks, **** Moores and Parry. Couldn't give a **** if Moores is a Liverpool fan, this is one **** up too many

problem with that is the timeline doesn't compute. Hicks and Gillette talked to Klinsmann before Rafa started leaking the stories and blurting about concerntrating on coaching.

I haven`t got the will to keep explaining myself.You all want to believe that G+H are bloodsucking vampires and that all their statements are designed to mislead the fans while fleecing the Club.
This may or may not be the case.My point has always been that there is no proof that this is the case and I`d "Wait and See".
I`ve been called alot off names in this thread,something the mods have not commented onSorry Dww,you just did..it seems my opinion on an internet forum are not welcome so I`ll bow out now and leave you all to wallow in self pity.


Have fun lads.

Condescending? How is sending the Americans an email telling them they are cunts helpful ffs.

Whatever. Do what you want.

I often have disputes with service company at work, everytime one of them calls me a cunt I give up and pay them whatever they want. Maybe G&H does as well

Al, i amn't sending emails myself but some of the people who are sending them think that by slagging the owners off they may sell up. Imo this isn't the way to do things but i can understand fans sending them, it is a very frustrating time for us all and its an easy way to vent frustration.

If you are recieveing positive feedback can you share some of the details without naming names.
