Does their Basque policy extend to management also? Does Bielsa have a Basque link.

[Liverpool]

I dont think so, but getting someone from Madrid is surely a no go?

[Fredo]

I think it extends to managerial candidates as well. I remember the french chap, Luis Fernandez managing them. He had basque roots.

And there was that famous Basque Bobby Robson

Agree though that a Madridista may be a step too far for your average Catalan.

I am confused, is Bilbao in Catalonia?

[Pablo]

No Bilbao is part of the Basque Country in the north of Spain. Spain is rife with internal segregation, so much so that they couldn't even agree on the lyrics to the National Anthem, that's why it has none

There was a rumour posted by Stephen Martin of the Anfield Wrap about the summer. Kenny moved upstairs, Rafa back as manager and Hyypia as his assistant.

For the first time this season, I wanted it to be true.

It won't happen. That would be a dream team but from what some people have said, he doesn't get along well with Ayre. No chance.
