Luis Suárez

[Pablo]

It is exactly the same as emails I received from him last year. It *looks* genuine.

Hmm, that's a bit worrying then.

[Fredo]

****ing hell, that chap will bear the wrath of LFC when they find him. If it's a director, he'll be sacked. If this is true anyway.

[dom9]

That is obviously not to say its real. I'd be surprised if it is - who the **** would leak something like that? It wouldn't be hard to fake the official LFC signature.

The fact it is forwarded means the content could easily have been edited by a prankster.

[The_weatherman]

If this is real, then my gripe is not with the club but whomever leaked this really.

I know the club isn't behind Luis' move and I think most fans do. There will be little anger if he's sold. I want him to stay but I understand if he wants to leave and I understand the board wanting to sell in that case.

[Pablo]

The only thing which makes me question it is the reference to FT.

I'd have thought the process would be standard for all want-away players? Not just the exceptional ones.

Nah, he's referring to handling the reaction of the fans. In that respect he'd be right to draw parallels with the Torres deal. It would also explain what Torres was referring to about how he was kind of forced out of the club rather than forcing his way out himself.

Not that it means it's real of course , but it does make some sense.

Gotcha.

Not buying that (but more than open to correction if otherwise)

While I can easily believe that we are truly incompetent to the point of stuff like this getting out, and that Suarez is off to Real, something about the tone of the mail doesn't ring true.
I think its the bit in the first paragraph, where its explained, almost narrative-like, about 'how it had worked with the traitor before' etc etc 'make it look like the club not behind it ' etc etc
It's too 'explanatory', if you get my drift.

If it's posted by Melwood LFC, I'd lean to the side of it being total B.S.

No way is that real, it's so easy to fake an email like that - that signature could be easily legitimately obtained by, say, applying for a job at the club and hearing back from HR or something like that. Change a few details and bam, Ayre's signature.

My bull**** detector has gone batty.

That's not to say I don't agree with the content, I fully expect that IS all happening - I think Luis is off, we know, he knows, Real knows and we're looking for replacements.

Exactly, it's far too like a Bond villain fully explaining their plan for no apparent reason.

[Pablo]

Why is there no "To" field in the email header. There should be right?

[meffin]

Looks legit but could easily be forged. I think its real, bye Luis

Waht Outlook/Windows version is this? Looks like its from 1998.

[danperkins]

Totally not real but it's done what it was suppose to do... and that is get a reaction.

[Captain Stu]

The little perma-virgin also hasn't explained who this was sent to and why they, apparently, WANTED it to be made public like this. Completely undermines any position the club has.
