Topic: Hicks - "We lined up Klinsmann"

[Mad Men]

I am depressed. FUCKING depressed. Its been a miserable start to 2008 thus far....can it get any more worse?

[LFCsnoopz]

benitez walks, so could alonso, torres, skrtel, gerrard and god knows who else could want to leave, i think the players love benitez

I dont know, so far I've crashed my car, injured my back...

[kick316]

I've noticed a few people on here trying to lay blame at David Moores' feet. Behave yourself!

He's not and never has been the business brain of the outfit, he never failed us as chairman and rest assured, would have done everything in HIS power to find the right buyer. He may have had bad advice, he may have had people lie to him but never question his integrity.

Fuckin morons.

You describe Moores as a simpleton who only has the best intentions of the club at heart but was deceived by those around him. So Parry is the brains and Moores was just a figurehead?

What business does he have of being the chairman of one of the world’s biggest club if he was so easy to take advantage of?

yes it can... and I now honestly think it will in the next couple of days

[12Kings]

Make a stand for your club now boys and girls, this has gone on for far to long!

[cornelius]

How many on here  dismissed the Klinsmann rumours out of hand as tabloid bullshit?

I think people can be forgiven for that don't you?

to be honest I think most people found the idea of it being Klinsmann that was insane, not the idea that the yanks might be up to something.

[merseypride]

It's close to becoming a farce.

How many on here  dismissed the Klinsmann rumours out of hand as tabloid bullshit?

I was one of them!!

[davidg]

I was one of the few that was still somewhat backing these guys. I dont know what to say after reading that article.

I do, it's conclusive proff that they're c*nts who have been undermining Rafa all season. The fact that he is still here, and we haven't totally imploded is testemant to Rafa.

[Jokerfish]

Tom & George you bunch of twats, you had us with you at the start you gave our dreams some hope and now look where we are.  We are a joke, a laughing stock, now fuck off and take your fuckin clown Coco with you.

[Wombat]

We are beginning to make Newcastle look lika stable,well run football club.
The Scum and the Blueshite are gonna be loving this.
I think that DIC will sit back now and try to snap us up for peanuts at the end of the season.
The players and staff must be at Melwood now,realising something fukin huge is going down,and feeling like the rest of us ---GUTTED!!!

[¡Basta Ya!]

How many on here  dismissed the Klinsmann rumours out of hand as tabloid bullshit?

It claimed he was offered the job, he said he wasn't, Hicks has said he wasn't and he didn't accept it if he was offered it.

Half truths on both sides again.

None of us will really know what's gone on between them all in secret meetings.

[lucid-tentacles]

Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.

[Hank Scorpio]

What the fuck has this club become?

I would like the answer to this question too mate.

WTF is going on?  I don't know what to think anymore.

[Onward Liverpudlian]

protests and anti G&H movements would have the leaches in the press rubbing their hands with glee

Exactly!

I think Gillett is ok and would love DIC to take over Hicks shareholding.

Protests would be just drama-queening though by people saying 'look at me' and 'arn't I a great red'.

[LFCsnoopz]

I was one of them!!

please let that anger out, over G&H's house

[macmanamanaman]

Allardyce for Liverpool, Rafa for Newcastle?



Seriously tho, I had, naiively, dismissed all this as the usual paper talk. But I guess I was wrong.

Seems like the only thing keeping Rafa at Liverpool now is his severance package.

He wont walk, and Hicks doesnt want to pay him off.

If I were Real/Barca/Bayern/<Insert Potential Rafa Suitor here> I would sense a real opportunity to get one of the best Managers in Europe for 'free'.

[Ben S]

well played david moores. i knew the five year search for investment would eventually lead us to the right man...

Can't blame him, Parry employed accountants to do the search etc etc. It's all Cocos fault.

[jaykl]

Un Fuckin Believable.

I'm not sure which is more fuckin stupid... them trying to line up Klinsmann or him coming out and admitting it in the fuckin press.

What the fuck has become of our club. These fuckin idiots havent a fuckin clue.

[¡Basta Ya!]

AC Milan must be rubbing their hands together.

[BHB]

THIS CLUB IS ALL OURS
THIS CLUB IS ALL OOOOURS
FUCK OFF TO TEXAS
THIS CLUB IS ALL OURS....

[lfctitch]

I think we need to stage the biggest protest in the history of the club; and not just for Rafa we need it anti-yanks now. We have to tell them we don't want them here. They can't do this to our club, can we really get something big going for the Luton game; or will we have to wait for the weekend?

Please get rid of these 2 guys, they are ruining my passion for football.

[Cassiel]

With all this shit flying around, would anyone seriously blame Rafa for having a hissty fit and walking away? Many other managers would have. The fact the bloke seems determined to stay and see the job through does him immense credit.

[Yorkykopite]

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's worse than that as well. Hicks has shown his hand because he HAD to. Klinsmann's people saw to that the minute they talked about Liverpool's "very detailed offer" to their man. Hicks was effectively smoked out.

All of which means we're being run by people who are both devious AND incompetent.....not to mention broke.



 

[Red Zeppelin]

protest at the inter game! telling ya! burn the flags! BURN THEM! then rip up the seats in the kop

[Rafadom]

Its sad to see this happening, hopefully the fans can now really show the owners how strongly we feel, as everything that has been said can now be gospal truthm so we are up shit creek luckily with have a paddle in Rafa, we just need to get the boat back and stop these fucking pirates from sinking it.

[Walter Sobchak]

cant see rafa staying now. really cant

if the last 3 1/2 years are anything to go by the man has too much respect for himself and his family to stay in a job where his bosses have been discussing his position with possible replacements.

i mean i wouldnt stay in a job after being treated like that. would you?

[Henry Chinaski]

benitez walks, so could alonso, torres, skrtel, gerrard and god knows who else could want to leave, i think the players love benitez

That's a bit exaggerated, just look at Chelsea.

[AdoptedScouse]

Somewhere in Texas, a village is missing its idiot.

A ray of hillarious sunshine on an otherwise cloudy and dark day

[ABJ]

This is a fucking disgrace, Could they have undermined Rafa any more if they had tried. They must be hoping that he walks so they will not have to pay him compensation. Klinsmann for fucks sake...This just goes to show that our 'owners' don't have a clue about football...If Rafa goes (Which I hate to say looks very likely now) all the top european clubs will be queueing up to appoint him...

I am fucking livid with these c*nts 

[bryanod]

Try Jamaica
(I) think they'll take you

How do you do?
I'll make a quick stop
My fair-lady pill pop
Before catching the bus to good lord knows where's what
(Catch me)
Falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out here

Salad nicoise
Good to meet you
Carcasonne hon
Stands next to no one
The rake at the door has been taking a tour of this tar (and) feather land and good lord knows that I am now
Falling out of line
I'm calling upon North Carolina to help me out again

Yankee go
Yankee go home
The gas prices are getting higher
As the rain falls upon dry land
Yankee go home

Senses burn man
When the deck-hand

Plays a flute which
Reminds me of you oh
But there's a land in the distance
That might have some patience
And girls who are singing or strangers and sailors
There are gunfights
There are neckties
A little history
A little sunlight
Alright

They said
Yankee go
Yankee go home
Yankee go
Yankee go home
The gas prices are getting higher
As the rain falls upon dry land
Yankee go
Yankee go home

Papa said
Pa said get used to it
Pa said get used to it
Pa said it gets so goddamn hard but I get used to it
Pa said get used to it

[Valore]

I suspect if all of us were like you, and gave up before the Porto game, and being negative, Rafa would be gone by now. Judging by your almost perverse need to see Rafa gone, without any care for the consequences, makes me think you're a bit of a c*nt who would love nothing more if the club went to hell, just so you could parade around and say 'I woz right!'

[LFCsnoopz]

protest at the inter game! telling ya! burn the flags! BURN THEM! then rip up the seats in the kop

yeah that solves everything

[Rox]

There's no justice like angry mob justice...

[ben]

this is all going to come to a head before the month is out imo. rafa will be gone very soon. who could blame him? who the fuck would want to work somewhere where their employers are undermining and humiliating them on a daily basis.

[NasEscobar]

If he decided to walk i'd say thanks to Rafa for Istanbul.

I'd have liked to have said thanks for the interesting title challenges and attractive exciting way we play too.

We were on the verge of that before the shit hit the fan in November, It's been a slippery slope since then, but surely the goings on behind the scenes will have damaged the atmosphere and morale within the squad, perhaps irrepairably

[Hank Scorpio]

I'm undecided as to whether these two are utterly clueless or just devious and calculating?

Either way they are the worst thing that could have happened to the club.

Me too mate.

Are they trying to force him out with press like this?

Or are they just plain stupid thinking that they can make comments like this without any consequence?

[LFCsnoopz]

That's a bit exaggerated, just look at Chelsea.

but a possibility, i didn't say they'll be strolling out the door with him

[NasEscobar]

yeah that solves everything

We'd have our terrace back

[redrockydennis]

Is that all your arsed about? What the bitters across the park think of us?

well right now i've got a bitter sat in the same room as me, who is fucking made up, so my immediate thought is that is pissing me off,  my shoulder is fucking killing me, i'd like a cup of tea, and i can't believe the shower of shite that now own our club, if i can think of anything else that i'm arsed about within the next few hours or so i'll be sure to let you know fella.
