[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

just when we were all saying how we look forward to next season
and no 19

the usual **** happens

things just **** up.

or maybe it's not as bad as it seems

and we will shock everyone with a new rich owner and world class players paraded at anfield alll on the same day

[dww]

At this stage this is all alarmist nonsense and the same things we have heard every season since Rafa arrived.

This is just speculation, nothing else. Tom and George knew full well of their losses before giving Rafa his budget so I don't think that is affecting his transfer plans seriously. I do think that he is trying to ship out Dossena and Babel before going for his big targets. And maybe something is going on already, for all we know Rafa is talking to Tevez as we speak.

the press love a story and what better story than our downfall. all they need is a whiff of potential issues and the bullshi merchants can make it up from there.

The press all have different agendas and different sources. Regarding these two stories, the one that says we are skint is from financial experts opinions who have looked at teh figures. The one that says we'll spend big is from someone close to the Yanks.

The problem is it is very hard to tell what exactly is happening. We know the owners are looking for investors to buy a % of the club as opposed to out right control. They're struggling at present so it's in the best interests of potential buyers to turn up the heat on the Yanks and get the media to release negative spin on LFC. Of course on the flip side, it's in the Yanks best interest to act bullish and state all is well.

Whilst we will not be doing a Man City, I'm very sure we will spend decent size sums this summer and I'm just as sure that this club will be sold in the near future (within a year).

It doesn't really matter either way. Fact is that Man City and Chelsea have enormous wealth now and will pay any price so there is nothing we can do and thats just a problem we have to deal with. Live with it

I can remember near mass internet suicide in the offing when it appeared we were in the market for Forlan or Bent but then we ended up with Torres.

As has been pointed out,we get these stories every year and they have been proved incorrect every year.Why don't we all chill out and see what the summer brings first

Perhaps the possibility of mass suicide is the plan - sort out the waiting list for season tickets, etc.
