the yanks just haven't got a clue about the gutter press in this country and the effect it has on everyone involed with the club.

when i have read what hicks said it was all about november and how thing are better now .  but why in gods name did they have to announce it to the media

for me a far bigger problem than even rafa is the fact the money has been coming and these dodgy pair of b@stards have got control of our club and are looking to get us so far in debt it is beyond belief.

when the pedos at manure took over the fans reacted without seeing any evidents of the bad management of the club, we have far more reason to be p!ssed off than those horrible manc cu^ts

i wouldn't bet against this- they know exactly what they are doing.
What they don't understand is we're not as fickle as americans and expect us to accept it and forget it1 They're treating us like sh.it- they have no respect for our traditions or us!

What worries me is that when the time does arrive to select a new manager, these guys don't have a clue.  Their preferred choice of Klinsmann smacks of naivity.  They obviously favoured him because he speaks english with a yankie accent and apparently favours training methods used in the states.

Klinnsmann has no pedigree.  Before last years world cup most Germans were dissatisfied with how he prepared the host nation.  Ultimately their success in reaching the semi-final had alot to do with the input of his successor and then assistant Jocham Low (you know the guy who looks like a porn star).

You get the feeling that even if Rafa won the Premiership, the Champions League, the FA CUP and the tiddlywink World Championships that he is "surplus to" in the the eyes of the owners !

Lets strip away the where and wherefors and take a moment to understand what has happened here.................

Hicks and Gillet have courted someone else for the managers job at Liverpool Football Club with a view to sacking our current manager mid season, something that has never happened at our club ! So much for the traditions of the club hey !

I suppose it's a tad romantic I know to put forward the idea but Sport and business don't mix, ones based on financial gain and the other's a passion not dependent on profit.

All I want from the rest of this season is to know that Benitez will still be there in May irrespective of what we achieve in terms of trophies. In a weird kind of way recent events have took the pressure off Rafa to win games and succeed as it's diverted attention away from him and onto the owners.

I know many of you would still like to put terms and conditions on Benitez but in a starnge kind of way the winning of trophies becomes irrelevant now set against the backdrop of what we now know about the owners ultimate goals !

Absolutely agree.

Rafael is the only party to this who actually cares about our club, rather than the money it can make him.

That alone deserves our respect.

to be fair to the two clowns, Moores contacted Mourinho with the offer of a job while Houllier was still our manager, and maybe even Rafa himself? So I think they do have some sort of an argument , but I don't think Moores tried to rub salt into the wound by announcing it to the world.

you are right Moores did contact Mourinho when we still had a manager and as you say what he did not do was to go and tell the press.

I just see it now as a way to get Rafa out of the club so they dont pay him off.

money money money.

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.

How can anyone operate a happy /confident ship when all this c.rap has been going about him - the clowns will see tonight what Liverpool fans think of them and how much they love OUR RAFA - EUROPEAN CAMPEON - 

To think Rafa's been carrying all this and no-doubt the players will have known too, explains a lot about recent results - these ppl have a lot to answer for 

As for Rafa 'better this - better that' - right now I don't care what happens as long as Rafa survives these two clowns

Owners’ doubts on Benitez could unsettle star players

If our players really want to help Rafa, they should start playing as if they are star players.

Instead of losing concentration and letting Titus Frickin Bramble get the better of them.

its hard for the players to concentrate with this fiasco being played out in the press thanx to our 2 yank wanx.
okay maybe rafa has made mistakes in the past i dont think he is perfect, but lets get on thing clear with g&h tieing his hands behind his back over transfers ect he gets my 100% surport. the whole LIVERPOOL system is at stake here, even if we had another shanks at the helm we would be struggling with these 2 american clowns pulling the strings that type of thing belongs at chelski not here. The yanks care about 1 thing and 1 thing only MONEY , Rafa loves this club, he had the chance to manage 1 of the biggest clubs in the word at MADRID in his home country [B][U] and chose us over them and in return this is how he has been treated. The yanks should be on their knees begging forgiveness of Rafa

Even if we did not have new owners this still would be going (looking for a new manager) but we would not know about it.
Rafa is not having a good year.

of course hes not having a good year , he has had the yanks in the background removing his managerial powers,  and then going behind his back and you still expect Rafa to win everything.

[Emerald Red]

Rafa is not having a good year.

Would you be having a good year if two c*nts lied to you by conspiring behind your back to replace you in your job with someone else less talented and less decorated? While we're at it, why not slip one into your missus behind your back too just for the craic because that's sort of a similar kind of insult to be sure to f*ck with your head a bit.


Let's be honest here, Rafa will not survive this barring a miracle take over, which I cannot see happening. They will get their way and force Rafa out, then it will be another 5 year plan with a manager that could potentially plunge us into mid-table mediocrity ala Newcastle and Spurs for the foreseeable future. With these two c*nts owning us, we are going nowhere. Stick that in yer pipe, all you c*nts that say the same about Rafa.

They are professionals. When defending a corner they should be capable enough to not start thinking about Tom Hicks or George Gillett.

Unfortunately they are also human not projects like Manhatten

But you are a saint.

Which outranks a project.

So you have godly power on your side.

I make do with nuclear power, which has left Manhattan impotent.
