I am absolutely livid with this.

How the fuck can Rafa be expected to work under conditions where his successor is actively sought by two cowboys without a fucking clue?

Sacked if we didn't make the latter stages of the Champions League?

What a fucking disgrace. An absolute fucking disgrace. What the hell has this club come to that this arrogant fucker can come out with this dribble and think it's acceptable. They haven't got a fucking clue and the sooner they fuck off the better.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rafa handed his signature in after this. And I wouldn't blame him in the slightest.

I really am fucking livid at the minute.

Most reds I know think Rafa's had his chance and that we're clearly never going to get a title challenge under him and attractive football.

Come here though and it's Drama-Queens R Us. ;D

Yes Hicks was wrong to admit it publically (and i'd love H&G to go back where they came from) but the act of looking for an 'insurance policy' I have no problem with, does anyone seriously think we weren't speaking for months to Rafa while Houllier was in charge.

Seriously, the Yanks have to fuck off now. Approaching a small time manager to replace Rafa is one thing, admitting them in front of the press is another.

I have come to a conclusion that Hicks try to force Rafa out instead of firing him, just to save a few pounds that he couldn’t afford.

Dreadful, depressing, disturbing … fuck off…

If you're happy with 6th place at the end of the season.

Ever occurred to you that Benitez has been undermined to the point where he can no longer do an affective job?

If ANYONE had any doubts that people within the club were briefing against Rafa in private, this very public move by Hicks has shown their hand.

It sounds like a defensive move to me. Something's being said by Bayern and Hicks is trying to play it down. The fact remains though that it hasn't been denied, which leaves us with the scary situation that these people think Klinsmann would be better or as good as Rafa.

And I'm one of them.

That said, even I think this is disgraceful treatment of Rafa. He hasn't hepled his cause, sure - but this is way beyond acceptable, fair treatment.

I STILL think Gillet is actually OK - it's just unfortunate he had to take that fucker Hicks in with him...

For once in the history of crazed media speculation, they were right. I supposed it had to happen sooner or later, you throw enough beans at a cup some of em eventually have to go in. The cocks really didn't come out to support Rafa, because they really weren't keen on him staying.

Hope we really shove it up their arses come Luton, and every other match until they fuck off.

Dark times indeed. We can only pray they don't get their re-financing. It's hard to fathom what they are thinking. Surely they must realise that we need to be a success on the pitch in order for the club to maintain it's value? The whole saga beggars belief.

Disgraceful! After everything that has happened, I always thought that these guys would know how to run things, how to handle these sort of things. The media, employees, fans, issues etc... have respect for our club and honor our values, especially regarding dirty-linen...

Seems I was wrong and their complete and utter *IDIOTS*!!!!
I wanted to use a bad word there, really; because at this moment, I am fuming. After all that Rafa gave us. This is how he gets repaid? Treated with suspicion, like a would-be-traitor and disrespect? And Hicks- the subtler of the 2- goes one step further and admits all this shite!?

They're not fit to run this club. If there was any doubts about our owners- this should get the ball rolling. A 'fan' would be a better choice as an owner- someone who loves this club- and I wouldn't waste time supporting DIC now.
