Re: Rafa Post Match statement - Shock

I think Rafa wants to be able to run a team. I don't think he sees the same problems with Hicks that some here do. He clearly just wants a structure around him with people he can trust and with the finances to progress the team. If he feels Parry interferes with that then he is bound to want him out.

I'm not sure we can expect Rafa to try and be everything to all men. He can and clearly is fighting for what he sees as the best for the team on the pitch (it is fair to assume he believes that he is the best person to run that). Not sure what he is expected to do about the ownership struggle. He is a lot closer to many of the facts than we are and he appears to have greater faith in Hicks than most do here.

The Mail article offers no evidence and until this mud slinging press conference occurs I think we have to hold our horses. It is clear that joint ownership, like joint managers before it simply hasn't worked. It is far from clear to me where exactly the blame lies.

Don't get me wrong I'm not happy with either of them but I remain unconvinced that there is some vastly superior alternative. Or that DIC realistically have any chance of buying the club. As such I just want everything to calm down and get back to being about playing and winning football matches.

I want every member of the board out of the club. Firstly the Yanks, followed by Parry and Moores after a year of consolidation. I don't like the club being dragged through the mud, but I'd rather have it this way than us just sitting back and letting the club be run by some clueless morons who don't care one jot about the club.

The worst that can happen at this point in time is for the fans to think "Ah **** it, I'm fed up with all this media talk and just want it resolved for better or worse".

I maybe wrong but your comments seem to be leaning towards that. And that I don't agree with.

What is Rafa's problem with Parry over this, Parry had to attend, he was ordered to attend, if he had then gone running to Rafa would he not have been out of a job, would HICKS not now be in a STRONGER position with Parry's vote off the board.

Hicks told Rafa to stop 'POUTING' 'Coach the team he has' Now Hicks expects us to believe he's Rafa's best chance.....Utter RubbiSH.

I really hope Rafa has not fallen for Hicks lies & promises.

Rafa's problem will be that Parry will have stated he wasnt there. both owners and parry are lying to him basically. that's how he's undermined.

There probably would be no problem if Parry had been upfront and honest with Rafa about the meeting. At the moment he looks like a snake in the grass who has stabbed Rafa in the back.

If he had told Rafa, Rafa complains, Parry is sacked by TH & GG, A crucial vote off the board.

Is Rafa to stupid to see this, or is he causing unrest for Hicks benefit. No need for Rafa to go Public, Why did he???

You can't seriously question Rafa in this mess? He just found out that every board member conspired against him last november. He thought Parry was an ally, he asked for a board meeting to discuss the issue. At no point has he asked for parry to be sacked fom what I have read.

I don't see why he had to go public, Keep it in house, set an example to the other Dic Heads. I don't see why he's so surprised that Parry didn't tell him, why would he, stir the **** is all it would have achieved.

Do you think if Parry had gone running to Rafa he would still be in a job. TH & GG are the snakes not Parry, he is just an employee like Rafa.
