WTF!! Hicks people still in contact with Klinsmann?

[El Jefecito]

This is a step too far. He'll be picking the team next. He obviously doesn't trust Rafa regardless of his great management team spin. If he stays I can't see the relationship working and Rafa will end up going.

So Hick`s asked his German friend(Klinsman) about Rafa`s transfer target.I`d say it was a question about Rafinha who plays for Schalke,a German team.Big deal,let`s wait to see what Rafa has to say.Maybe he`s glad Klinsman is being used as a scout.

Cowtownred on RAWK is saying we need another demo in support of Rafa. What was is this guy said before, and was he right?

so you dont find it worrying that our transfer targets are being passed to the manager of Bayern Munich?

I don`t know the full circumstances.I believe that Rafa has proven himself in the transfer market,even to Hicks.I don`t believe that Hicks is questioning Rafa,just that he`s getting a second opinion(harmlessly) from a Friend.

I`ll wait to see what Rafa has to say.

If it turns out that Klinsmans opinion could alter Rafa`s chances of signing his tranfers targets or that Klinsman`s Munich chase our targets then I`ll be as pissed of as anyone else.

My point is that I don`t believe anything written in the British media who love to whip LFC fans into a frenzy,which seems to work on a daily basis.
I`d rather wait until we hear from Rafa.

[CJ]

in reality we never know the whole story.

however i find it worrying in the extreme that we may be passing our targets onto Klinsman. he may be a mate of Hicks but to me it shows he has a lack of faith in Rafa and also it allows another large club in europe access to sensative information.

so why pass it to klinnsman if it doesnt have any effect? if you want a second opinion and that opinion is no then surely it would effect whether hicks signs the cheque?

Obviously i`m concerned that klinsman has access to sensitive information.

It could just be innocent opinion asking on behalf of Hicks(He obviously has faith in Klinsman`s opinion) or he could be the cunt everyone says he is.

As I said I`ll wait until we hear from Rafa before flipping the lid.

[CJ]

maybe rafa wont say anything (after problems earlier this year)

why would he want Klinsmans opinion? is Rafas not good enough for him?

[DCH]

Actually, this piece of information came out at the right time.

Just as Hicks was painting rafa in his corner, news of rafa's backstabbing comes out..
You are all alone now (T)Hicks!

Rafa can't say anything and you know that.

My thoughts exactly.

Clueless.

US banks Citigroup and Merrill Lynch reveal fresh $15bn loss

Iain Dey
CITIGROUP and Merrill Lynch will heap further pain on Wall Street this week as they reveal additional sub-prime write-downs totalling $15 billion (£7.6 billion) or more.
In another sign of the intense pressure on leading banks, Deutsche Bank is attempting to offload some of its €35 billion (£28 billion) of toxic debt to a consortium of private-equity firms.

Huge exposure to American mortgages is expected to result in Citi taking a $10 billion hit to its accounts, dragging the bank to a first-quarter loss of almost $3 billion. Some analysts believe Citi’s write-downs could stretch to as much as $12 billion.

Merrill will suffer $5 billion of write-downs, analysts say, which would push the bank $2.7 billion into the red.

It is expected to knock a further 20% from the value of its sub-prime holdings, in spite of the fact that it announced $18 billion of write-downs only three months ago.

The new rash of Wall Street losses and write-downs come in addition to the billions that have already been recorded.

The world’s biggest banks have suffered losses and write-downs totalling almost $250 billion since the beginning of 2007, according to analysts. Last week the IMF shocked markets by saying that global losses from the credit crisis could rise to $945 billion.


Time for plan B Tom. Bet you the **** that has gone on over the last couple of daysis a result of the Banks telling him to do one so the only way to gain contol is to get enough yes men on the board.

Don't think Merrill Lynch will be much good to him now LMFAO

Are you for real or do you just like going against the grain?

'Innocent opinion'? Imagine that you were in a position of power at work where you were put in charge of making decisions. You make a decision yet your boss has no faith in you so has to ask the opinion of another manager at one of your rival firms. How would you feel? 99.9% of people would be furious because it shows a distinct lack of respect and lack of faith in yours/Rafa's abilities.

As for hearing from Rafa? What exactly do you want Rafa to say? 'Erm...yes it's ok if Hicks goes over my head and a) hands over a list of my transfer targets to a rival manager/club and b) asks a rival manager of his opinion of my targets.

From the start you've continually made excuses for Hicks and it's wearing thin. Any red who can't see what a c**t Hicks is by now needs to have a word with themselves.

Fantastic.

Even if he does eventually **** off out of our club I hope that everything he touches turns to **** after that.
