Thing is though even if he leaves, wont the new manager require some sort of warchest to spend on otherwise when he fails hell just say he was forced to inherit Rafas left overs.

I'm not sure that if Rafa goes the new manager will get much in the way of a warchest Bav. Maybe he will have to sell to buy? I can't see any of the top managers wanting to come here under those conditions, which may be why I read that O'Neill is rumoured to be next one in.

I think G&H will use this meeting to see if Rafa is the man to be the Manager 2008-2009.

New players will be talked about, What ones we needs and why we need them (what players did Rafa buy that have not worked out and why they have not worked out).

What players to sell and why they have not worked out at our club.

if it comes out that Rafa got the players wrong then i dont see them giving him the money for any new ones, plus if that was the case then we would also be looking for a new manager, for one i dont think Rafa would stay if he has no money to buy players and on top of that the owners need to know the manager will spend the money on the right players and if rafa has got it wrong he will not be the manager any more.

we are run like a company new and rafa will be treated as such.

As ive just said in the other thread, gone are the days where a manger could take his time in buildinga dynasty like Fergie was given. I suppose in a way it was lucky there wasnt that much money those days as id be surprised if he was given 10 years to build a title winning side these days. I think Rafa will get 1 more year of spending the yanks money and then if not hes . And once hes then we are .

[holylamb2006]

I just hope if the two yanks want to sack benitez then all of his spanish signins dnt go with him because it would be a disaster .....

Torres,Reina,Alonso,Arbeloa ...

I want Benitez to win stuff with Liverpool obviously because he has been with us for a couple of years....
but i hope Rafa will realize that they need to sell Arbeloa,Voronin,Sissoko,Pennant,Carson,Kuyt these pplayers would at least rake in
20-30 million then possibly with watever money G & H give rafa even 15  million that means 45 million ( thats plenty money)

And tstop buying wasters with no talent ....

i think its bad, what it looks like is that much of the talking is going on with Rafa not there.So i take it he did not get told if he was going to get the new players.
