Any new manager will get support - it wouldnt be his faul Rafa had to leave.

Thats if Rafa has to go. As yet, we don't need a new manager.

Rafa is our manager. We support him.

i won't be suprised if your start slating the new manager first...

[redmikey]

the level of support rafa gets is for a very good reason, he has made himself a part of the club. not above or in charge but an integral part of push the club fowards.

i fear a leeds situation, I will aways be a liverpool fan through good time and bad. it seems maddness that we are playing inter milan soon and have lost only two games and i feel this way, i think the yanks are going to eat into this club like a cancer

"this manager is ... he has done nothing but set us back... at least rafa won us the CL and FA cup and got us the highest no. of points... blah blah blah"

It makes me laugh at the way those pompus manc tw@ts all stopped supporting their club because the Glazers put them in so much debt. Lo and behold, they've been nothing but 1st class for their club, great transfer kitty, full support of the coach, increasing the  size of the ground - who said you cant trust an inbred.  Dont see any Reds forming Atletico Real Scouse, and going to watch a pub team out of nothing more than spiteful arrogance. Arraggghhhhhh, i may punch someone today, this whole pantomime is really starting to wind me up:angry:

I keep asking, and yet you keep bouncing the question: name me a few candidates who would replace Rafa. Go on! Name them, and then tell us why they are available, and then why they are good enough. Don't forget they must have the ability to both build to challenge in the league and in the champions league. No poking around Google for stats either. Straight off the top of your head. Go on, then!

I've been looking for a new job because things were bad in one of the two jobs I have. Today I've been selected to work in Hewlett Packard (a sub enterprise of HP). I should be fúcking happy. But I'm not, I'm sad because of Rafa.

Sad and worried more than angry.

Why does someone have to be out of a job.  Cant this club tempt managers away from there current positions?

I wish the silly b*stards would f*ck off and stick to their inbred Yank sports.

Go on Hicks - f*ck off and play Baseball, you monkey-raping sh*t-stabber.

You need to get to Anfield with a massive banner, mate.

Good piece well said.

Underhand Games Are Doing Liverpool No Favours, from F365

Exactly what is Tom Hicks' game?

The Liverpool co-owner has come out with some interesting stuff in his time at Anfield, but his latest comments about Jurgen Klinnsman not only take the biscuit, but scoff the whole packet, then another packet bought to replace the first one.

For anyone that may have missed his word in the Liverpool Echo's ear, here they are again:

"We attempted to negotiate an option, as an insurance policy, to have him [Jurgen Klinsmann] become manager if Rafa left for Real Madrid or other clubs that were rumoured in the UK press.

"Or in case our communication spiralled out of control for some reason."

What possible reason could there be for Hicks to announce this?

There are two real possibilities; either he knows exactly what he is doing and is playing a sly game with Benitez, or he genuinely has no concept of how football works and has a thumping case of foot-in-mouth disease.

The former option is most likely, but even that seems massively counter-productive.

By announcing this when he has absolutely no positive reason for doing so, he can only be looking to put pressure on his mutinous manager.

And why would he want to do that? Liverpool have a passionate, often supportive but always demanding fanbase, and they do quite enough to pressure any manager without any of the suits getting involved.

It is just possible that Hicks and partner George Gillett have already decided that this season is a write-off, and that they're trying to ease Benitez out?

By announcing that they have essentially offered Benitez's job to someone else while he is in situ, they have at best undermined him and at worst given Benitez a perfect excuse to resign.

Even the wording of the statement suggests he is up to no good.

For a start, what sort of chairman/owner bases their managerial decisions on reports in the press? Why would a man who has rubbished newspaper rumours in the past, suddenly become so panicked about a bit of massively ill-informed tittle-tattle that he goes straight out and taps up another manager?

It smacks of the flimsiest of excuses from the Americans.

The second part of his reasoning is also loaded with meaning - "In case our communication spiralled out of control for some reason."

'For some reason'? How can someone talk about that in the abstract with a straight face?

What could that possibly be, other than the thinnest of thinly-veiled warnings to Benitez to hush up and stop carping in the press? "We can replace you like that Rafa, pipe down."

Whatever the hell they are up to, this proves that Hicks and Gillett are not good for Liverpool. If they want rid of Benitez, they should sack him, not play such ludicrous games.

Whatever you think about Mike Ashley and Chris Mort, they didn't f**k around at Newcastle. They decided that Sam Allardyce wasn't the man they wanted, and they sacked him.

As long as this sort of uncertainty hangs around Liverpool, they will never reach the glories of years past.
