Why did they have to go public with the sneaky dealings behind Rafas back. Klinnsmann never said publicly hed had a meeting with them so why did they have to come out and say it. Its stinks lad end of

Funnily enough Klinnsman comes out of the whole episode with credit IMHO. He denied the stories, presumebaly as he thought it would be disrespectful to Rafa to confirm them. He has confirmed my long held impression that despite being a bit of a diving ponce and a tad German for my perticular taste, he is underneath it all a nice fella.

Hopefully he does Ok at Bayern.

Got up this morning to see if this blight on club I have supported for 30 years wouldnt look so bad in the cold light of day. I think i should just go back to bed.
Old sayings Money doesnt buy you class and if you sup with the Devil use a long handle ring so true

Regardless what happens to Rafa, those two have to go whatever the cost

[Sabre]

Rafa won't walk away. If he walks away he doesn't see a penny of his remaining contract. He'll have to be sacked, and he won't forgive a penny. I'd find strange he'd sue the americans for this though.

Hopefully Hicks is correct and the money for the stadium in place by the end of the week. They really need to break ground on that stadium quickly to have something at least to show the fans. As for Rafa, a win tomorrow is essential for morale. Recent form has been awful and I don't blame Hicks/Gillett for that. But rather the players for not giving enough and the manager for not tearing into teams like Wigan.

Rafa better hope and pray he does something worthwhile in the CL this season and MUST finish at least fouth, otherwise, it's good night and good luck for him I think, because the Prem title looks as distant as ever.

Not only is he the only one who still supports them Saint, he's clearly sent his bill through the roof by voting 304 times on the phone-in the cheeky fecker.

Rafa is a really good manager in his own right......he won us the European Cup and you can never take that away from him, ya we would all like him to stay and win the epl but nothing in the last 4 yrs suggests we are even close, gone by xmas as usual...........His treatment by the Americans has not been nice.....not at all...but  stop with all the anti american ........ G AND H didnt  buy liverpool to screw us over nor themselves...... everyone is jumping down their back......in their first pre season  ( had little time to get a feel for the club )they delivered a player i didnt think we could ever afford , 22mill plus for  Torres.........and Babel for 10mill, under david moores we had to settle for the likes of Heskey for 11mill...........
G AND H look like decent men...stop trying to blame the yanks for all this trouble...... just look at benitez presistence with voronin ahead of crouch ------ Arrogance..... decides crouch is not good enough and wont backtrack...benitez is a likeable man....... but he is a dead man walking
He hasnt achieved was expected....... if g and h say it time to go.....they own the club and  they sure as hell are not going to mess up their own asset if they dont think it is correct........
We just have to trust them.......  show them a bit of support too like.... Everyone is entitled to their opinion. it is wierd that alot of ppl wanted benitez gone at the weekend and now they want to keep him.......

Theres a few of us one here lad who have never trusted them i am one of them and have stated openly many times they have to earn trust. So far mate since theve been here theve done nothing to justify this. Today lad with a open  statement like they have made theve shot themselves in the foot without any help from us.

very bizarre to see owners do such a thing.  The only reason I can see why they went public is down to trying to undermine the manager and making him walk.  Rafa is in hole as he hasnt even got parry onside.  Parry will just do what his masters say so who in the board has rafa's back? 

I cant believe this was just a honest mistake by the yanks not realising that going to talk to other managers and then telling the world is a no no.  Parry must of known that this was all going down.  Someone from the board was leaking the stories about the yanks wanting klinsmann as well.

[Pedro Maradona]

well then dont go questioning peoples intelligence like you did on this forum because they chose to believe in something that you dont happen to agree with....(ie their views on american imperialism etc.) your arrogance is incredible, then again anyone who constantly refers to themself in the third person like you do would tend to have such egotistical issues.

Firstly, don't try to get into a political debate with me, because I'd destroy you. So it's not even worth pushing for. Don't let the "third person comic routine" thing fool you.

Secondly, any Liverpool fan who would burn the US flag simply because they disagree with the club owners lacks intelligence and foresight.

It's the last thing our fans need to be seen doing, since it makes it so much easier for the media, who already detest LFC fans, to paint a bad picture of the fans, club and city.

you think u would....yet again ur arrogance is astounding! how can you presume to destroy anyone o a political debate that you dont know....?
you arrogant t w at
you need to get a life u knobend!

honestly you should read some of the rubbish that you write.... its actually pathetic.....and patronising....go get a life! im sure u need a finer stage than a football forum to prove your no doubted genius.......
and if you read any of my posts did i say or advocate burning any flag? no i didnt, so get your facts right sunshine, I dont like the 2 americans and i dont the way they are running Liverpool Football club, nor do I like some of the things that have been done by the United States under the name of freedom. so get your facts straight and dont be so patronising.
as for a political debate....I wouldnt advice you to go down that route if i were u.......

It is frankly sickening and they fully deserve the hostile reception they will recieve should they dare to set foot inside Anfield again.

The one good thing about the whole situation is that hopefully we are now entering the end-game stage. Step one should be for the team to run up a cricket score against Luton tonight, and after each goal ALL THE PLAYERS SHOULD CONVERGE ON THE BENCH TO EMBRACE THE MANAGER. This struggle now is beyond the future of Rafael Benitez, it is for the future of the club and for the integrity of English football. Two fools from accross the pond simply cannot be allowed to destroy the finest club in the land. Sabre is correct, it makes no difference who is the manager while these two are in charge of the club. Like a cancer, they need to be cut out, and fast.

Mick if you wasnt so far away mate id buy yer a pint for that comment and it would be wonderful if the players done that

[ClONMEL_RED]

Ya what happened was bad form .......... Benitez is a good man...... It ;s abit like Finding out your missus went behind your'e back with another fella..... A Real kick to the nuts..... All im sayin i hope for all of us Hick;s learns from his mistake...... i notice Gillett is kinda distancing himself from all of this/////// Look  when you listen to some of the stuff benitez and montse say of course you'd love him to be our manager for the next 30 yrs....... it aint happening for him though  and i agree hicks has done it all wrong , if he said at the end of season , thanks for the effort and best of luck in your next job that wud have been a1 ,,,,,,,

All I’m saying is that there is a lot of mischievous behaviour going on in the press, and I’m not just talking about one particular source. Someone somewhere is intentionally causing Rafa a lot of grief.

[puroresu]

If the Yanks want rafa out there is nothing the players or fans can do to stop it.  Chelsea players loved Jose and at every opportunity made it known that they were fully behind Mourinho. The fans all loves jose and again it didnt matter as owners dont really care about these things.

But were not Chelsea fans Puroresu or Chelsea football club were different they dont even qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as us were loyal mate they wouldnt know loyalty if it shot them on the leg

Ta Nanny, I know we don't always agree visa-vis our respective loyalties to rafa and how well we think he's doing the job, but this is totally beyiond the joke the way these two c...s are carrying on. Disgraceful.

I'd actually have 1000% more respect for them if they'd have just sacked him. If they were man enough to pull the trigger and get a new manager in, we could all argue till the cows come home about how ruthless they are, whether they've done the right thing etc etc. This isn't ruthless though, this is snidey, sly, behind your back c...ish behaviour of the very lowest order. Hicks in particular out of the two appeares to be the sort of bloke you'd want to keep in front of you so you could see what he was doing. A right sly, canniving c... if ever there was one.

It probably won't do anything in terms of improving his personality long term, but he's the sort of fecker that if you were going to kick him in the b@lls, you'd want to make sure you took a run up so as to ensure you got maximum power into it.
