RobBright 35 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Why a facepalm? If they sacked him, then they would have to pay 16mil, this way, the rumoured amount is 3mil. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You seem to be missing a rather large point. By "we", I was referring to United fans. And probably fans of other teams too. Rafa is too funny. Please stay!! Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 And in other news: Barcelona have made their move and Arsenal have responded with a firm but fair 'sod off'. 'We received an offer from Barcelona for Cesc and in response, we immediately and resolutely told them once again that we have no intention of selling our captain,' say the Gunners. They have ruled out any further discussion. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 It will be truly sad if he goes. Overheard last night --- - Here Rafa, take £3m and just get the hell out of here. Please. - But my contract is worth £20m, pay me that. - We can't, you've spent all our money on shit players and won **** all so we've nothing left. - OK I stay. - Please please please go. - No. - OK, you can stay, but we don't really want you. Every day you come to work expect to see us wave an angry fist at you. - Gives me £40m to buy Bobby Zamora and Nigel Reo Coker, and everything will be OK. - Please **** off.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 But the mirror (yes, I know) has this Rafa Benitez’s Anfield reign is over. The Liverpool manager was sacked last night, after the club board came to the decision he had lost the dressing room. Player power proved his downfall after several of the Reds’ biggest stars, including Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, made clear their loss of faith in the manager. Some had even stated privately that they would leave if Benitez stayed. Benitez, who is on holiday in Sardinia, was hanging on only to negotiate his payoff. He has a £16million clause in his contract that must be paid in full if he is dismissed, and the only detail left to be finalised late last night was just how much of that money he would receive.

pie-eater 207 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hopefully he won't accept it and it will become this horrible mess. Ideas for new manangment: AVRAM GRANT!! Or, where's Sven these days? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 I suspect it won't be over that quickly. We shall see! I think Sven's off shagging somewhere. And getting paid millions for it. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 There was an interesting feature about Brian Glanville, UK footie journalist, on NHK just a minute ago. Seems like its tons of footy docs and so on on for the next few weeks Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Nice one bobby. --- Quote: News of Benitez’s impending departure has sparked outrage amongst a section of the club’s supporters and a protest is to be held at Anfield at 6pm today. Though opinon on the Spaniard is divided with some fans critical of the latter years of his reign and therfore happy that he is about to leave, others remain staunchly loyal to the man who helped Liverpool to win their fifth European Cup. Apparently some United fans going as well to show their support for Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites
