The Email sent between Hicks and Gillete regarding Rafa..

From: Dwight P Cornhole III

To: Montgomery Q Transfat Esquire

Subject: That goddamn Spanish coach guy

Montgomery,

I got no more good feeling toward you than our hometown chapter of the NRA done did have for President Osama when he announced his Communist healthcare schemes, but we all gotta work together on this Monsieur Benitez thing. We need shot of that guy like yesterday: there ain't room for more'n two clowns in any one rodeo, and this guy's hogging all the greasepaint and shiny pants.

I've offered him three million in Brit money to take a hike. I said to him: three million now, or cool his heels for two weeks and get 16 million. Boom. That's how we play hardball, Texas style, you pasta-eating surrender monkey. He just starts laughing in that queer high-pitched way the Krauts have and talking about facts and net spends.

I tell't him right to his face there and then. I got one word to say to you. Just one word. He says: "Plastics?" I say not plastics you goddamn asshat. The word I'm gonna say to you is "inflation". So you go away and think about it and see how you like that three million Britpounds in a week's time when it ain't worth more'n a Georgia gal's cherry when the fleet's in town.

I tell you Montgomery old pal, when the whole European Economic Area has collapsed into the goddamn Pacific and Senora Benitez is getting it up the keister from some penniless Greek shipping tycoon at Real Inter Madrid or whatever the hell they call it, he'll be damn sorry. And as sure as :censored: we ain't bailin' them Eurofags out this time, not after the Marshall Plan and our very generous debt-leveraged takeover of their soccerball franchises.

When he finally goes, we're gonna need us a new head coach. I've done the numbers and it don't look too bad. Way I see it, our options of what we (i.e. the overdraft!) can afford are these:

1) Cousin Freddie, if we can persuade him to come down off the goat farm.

2) Nobody.

3) Some fat guy name of Sammy Lee that they keep in a Boot Room, whatever in the hell that is. Good Southern family name, and he most likely already got his own cowboy boots, but all in all I'm reckoning option 2) is the way to go.

We gotta put this behind us and move on, Montgomery, and get back to where we was. I had a dream. I had a dream for this football club that one day I would pound it harder than Uncle Cleetus done that college boy when he caught him looking at his pick-up truck funny, and then walk on out with a great big ole chunk of someone else's change. And that :censored: Benitez has stolen my dream, Monty. He's stolen my goddamn dream.

Yet all the pro-Rafas are abusing everyone for expressing their opinion on ONE PERSON who is no longer at the club. I suggest they go support whoever he moves to if they can't accept he has gone and not everyone is crying themselves to sleep over it.

He came here to do a job, he failed to do it, he's gone, get over it - and yourselves people.


I hope it wasn't anyone from here stating on SSN that Souness finished 14th in the league! Last time we finished below 10th we were relegated. Perhaps that was why people wanted Rafa to stay, try to get us relegated because the last time that happened we came back up and wrote history. Maybe Rafa's work was unfinished.......................  :laugh:

Cue abuse by people so simple they should be wearing blue

JUST CANNOT SEE HOW YOU CAN COMPARE THE TWO CLOWN

rafa is the manager that took us to the great teams in europe and out played them in there own back yards, rafa has put the best spine in our team on a budget , reina,masha,agger,torres.  souness was a t!t

i am sure you just enjoy winding people up, rafa made loads of mistakes and i believe his head had gone down after last year when we had our record points total and we still didn't win the league and he did'nt get any money to add players he wanted, villa before the euros 2 years ago.

ok if you didn't like the man but as a purely football fan look at how good we were last year on the run in, awesome football we palyed and i reckon it was rafa just stopped worring and let the lads attack like his valencia side used to.

I'm happy to accept all opinions on this subject but don't be fucking arrogant to suggest those who wanted rafa to go are wrong or clueless.

The last poll taken on this forum amongst supporters who are as dedicated to this club as you, voted in a majority for him to leave.

Don't be a mug.

Just throwing this out there.
There is a supposed ITK on another forum who spoke about Rafa's severance package a couple of weeks ago and he got it right. He has taken a lot of flak off loads of others but he keeps coming back with stuff. This is the latest. Probably more :censored: but let's see.


"The board's roles haven't changed, Purslow is still liaising with the known investors and Broughton is there a part-time figurehead - to close any deals. However, as Chairman he had to be involved with Rafa leaving, signing the statement etc.

Hicks and Gillett don't have anything to do with the club, yes they 'own' it but the bank owns them! They are effectively locked out, so no, there can't be a fire sale of our best players. Unless, the players want to leave that is.

Purslow, is also involved with looking for a new manager, in addition to liaising with the investors. Don't be fooled though, he and Kenny aren't looking too hard! They know who's coming in... This has been highly planned. Purslow, is really keeping the sponsors calm and Ayre is doing his bit too.

The investors (both of them) wanted Rafa out before they come in. So the slate is clean and they will avoid any bad press. Yes, it was acceptable to all the investors that Rafa left.

The club will be sold in a 'range' between £450 and £590m. That's a huge variance but the bottom figure is agreed by RBS and Barclays as the 'actual' value of the club. Although both expect the 2 investors to cap out at the £590. Sadly for Hicks and Gillett, they will not get anywhere near £800m.

It's really fluid and really exciting and things are all in hand. You'd be rather daft to think this hasn't been quite carefully planned! "

Bav, mate, if that WAS true, I'd be somewhat relieved to think that there was method to all this madness (like that bit o' Shakespeare ?  :p )

Rafa was a great bloke, loved the club and the supporters.

As a person I have utmost respect for him, and honestly wish it had not come to this conclusion.
However, despite the good times, I really believe we need a change.
I have been a Season Ticket holder for well over 20 years and to be blunt some of the football we have witnessed this season has been dire. I have lost count of the number of away games we have talked about on here whilst in progress, where we are well into the game and their keeper hasn't had a shot to save, where the body language of the players has been poor, some teams in the lower half of the table scored more away goals than we did.
Defensive tactics away at Wigan, Wolves and more.

The owners need to go asap, players need to look at themselves for their inept peformances last season, it isn't all about Rafa...but I really believe he had to go.

so someone on here wants other members banned because they do not agree with them.
Maybe Mark Lawrenson and other ex playes should be banned from Anfield to, as i gather their opinions are not welcome either.
How sad.
I find it funny that members of here say people arnt proper Liverpool Supporters if others do not agree with their views

GROW UP

Tell you what it's one day on and I'm still livid.

If Torres goes to Chelsea with our chairman as a Chelsea season ticket holder, I'm done with football for good. I'm still deciding whether to renew my season ticket at the moment and I never thought I'd say that.

I think Rafa was sacked to stop Torres moving from the club.
I am geeting the feeling that Torres was told Rafa will not be at the club when he gets back from the world cup so he did not look for another during that time.

the Pro Rafa fans might not like it but Rafas time at the clunb was over a long time ago.

The amount of players he has taken to the club that have not made it.

The amount of money spent on players and not got back

Not winning nothing in years

Falling out with the owners .

Bust up with players

His agent talking to other clubs

Rafas exit was of his own making.

Its time to move on, he is gone, what is sad is that the press all think that the march last night was due to Rafa getting the sack......and not the owners debt on the club.

I hope in a few days the talk of Rafa will be over and the fans can once again look at getting the owners out without talk of Rafa as it will always split the fans.

and hope that we can get the press back on our side and no burning flags.

Those Americans that are outraged with us for burning the flag should be more outraged with Hicks & Gillett for driving us to it and should be asking themselves how its got to this point.

This is just wrong, so so wrong and so sad.

This has been planned for weeks how come you didnt know?

Date: Sunday 4th July 2010

Time: TBA

Plans: A mass march from Liverpool city centre to Stanley Park (via Anfield).

The plan is to meet outside St George's Hall and make our way passed Anfield and onto Stanley Park.  We want everybody to help distribute anti-Gillett and Hicks leaflets/posters/stickers whilst on the march, to hand out to all non-participants we will pass.  We will need one volunteer to operate a megaphone, leading the chants/songs at the front of the march (after all, there's nothing worse than not singing in unison).  We want everybody to bring their anti-Gillett & Hicks flags/banners.  If you don't have one, make one.  It doesn't need to be a work of art.  A simple sheet with a clear message painted on will do the trick.  Once we arrive at Stanley Park, a mass amount of black balloons will be released into the sky.

Pre-march plans: We need a volunteer to type up an e-mail to  send to a huge selection of UK media contacts to let them know our plans and give them chance to cover events on the day.

This is a free date in the World Cup.

This isn't a debate on whether you think Rafa should be manager or not, this is simply a protest to let Gillett and Hicks know, we won't give up until they are gone.  If they stick around much longer, we won't be discussing whether Rafa should be the manager or not as we won't have a football team in existance for anybody to manage.

If the march is to be effective though, we will need big numbers to attend and to make ourselves seen and heard by the UK media.

Who's in?
