I am not anti -american but I wouldn't trust those two if they said it was dark outside. Latest story is the contract was on the table waiting to be signed, thats not an insurance policy, that was Klinsmann to take over !

As George Bush nearly said :- If someone fools you once, shame on them, if someone fools you twice, shame on you.

If they didn't want Rafa to go(not sacked), why bring it out now 2 months down the line? If they sack him it costs them £6million, if he walks it costs then nothing.

Key words here are STORY and NEARLY SAID. I cant wait for the day when this will all end....

You said it was all rubbish , I am surprised you haven't kept your head down as events have unfolded.

Graham Hunter reported this morning that Klinsmann was definitely offered the liverpool job.
Hunter was talking to Bayern officials at their winter training camp in spain about the klinsmann position and was briefed the following:

- Klinsmann had detailed talks with Hicks, and was assured that he would be taking over from Rafa at the end of the season
- Klinsmann started plans for the transition, including lining up his own men for back-up roles, including some 'new-age' type fellas he used with germany
- The talks went way beyond what hicks implied yesterday. The offer was definite, and was not some back-up insurance policy.
- When Bayern officials began to hear of this, they moved very quickly to offer klinsmann a lucrative deal.

Pair of do you know what i dont think well see them in Liverpool for a long time.

Are you serious Saint they had the contract on the table, if this is true it makes them even lower than they already are.

A provisional contract is understood to have been drawn up with Klinsmann there and then, though it seems to have been a subsequent drift of events – rather than a breakdown in negotiations between the parties – which contributed to Klinsmann not signing it.

Klinsmann never signed the contract with the Americans, probably because he knew his popularity would start off very low and would struggle to increase, and also probably when considering that if this sneaky way of doing business and managing key staff is how the American work, it was perhaps as well he steered clear.

Yer gotta give respect to Klinsmann in all this though the lad has kept his mouth shut.
As you say Saint it most prob opened his eyes to the way he could be trated if he accepted

Agree there with you NANNY.

Of this whole sorry mess the only one who is going to come out higher in my estimations is Klinsmann. Even though he could quite easily have used this to endear himself to the Bayern  fans even more (by claiming he turned down another European giant to join them) he decided to refute the stories.
Instead he left it to that Yank numb nuts to put his big fat cowboy boots squarely into his own gob by declaring to the world that YES HE DID GO BEHIND THE MANAGERS BACK PIMPING HIS JOB ABOUT!!

Rafa how does it feel to a manager that has won the CL, been to the final twice, won the Uefa Cup, La Liga twice, the Super Cup, the Fa Cup.

Then be informed that they have offered your job to someone who has won absolutly nothing.

Rafas reply I am happy we won tonight and I am concentrating on beating Villa.

Im am more livid than yesterday when the news broke.

of course he isnt going to admit being offered the job and having talks behind Rafa`s back because then he`s just as big a as the other two.

tell you what hicks gillett and klinsman in an office having a discussion about him taking the liverpool job, who out of them three is more likely to leak it to the press, bingo klinsman gets offered the bayern job, yeah lets appluad him he`s a fooking genius.
