Considering that you are now successfully winding everybody up GYBS it is a wonder that you are not getting carded. You are actually ruining threads, even duplicate ones which you've created yourself.     

jesus christ what is wrong with you people give it a feckin rest for gods sake. Asking for cards when the bloke has only started a topic?

I am not asking for  him to be carded, but I got a card for exactly the same thing GYBS is now doing, we hate double standards don't we? anyway as said we all need to chill.

Really? Well he is quite experienced with England but wasnt it him who oringinally wanted Sven?

Barwick was the main player behind getting maclaren , everyone else wanted hiddink or scolari apparently .

Yeah but he also got Capello in

[GRAHAM01]

the Heinze from manure embarrassment, and also players wanting to come to us like for example malouda preferring to join Chelsea.




If rafa can't get his first two choices I would have preferred he saved the money until the next transfer window instead of wasting it on a player he doesn't want.

other teams not willing to sale players well like you said there is nothing that can be done about that and in no way would i blame parry for that, the way i see it is if they don't want to play for liverpool then don't go in for them they would not be the player a manager would want as they would not be putting in 100%

you have a point with putting the money back in your pocket and wait till next time or the next right player becomes available, but in the prem it's a spend it now thing isn't it! i have money in my pocket so i must use it sort of thing the only person ( and some times it is to his detriment ) that ever seems to do this is wenger

Yeah but he got Mclaren, the positive of Capello does not outweigh the huge negative that was Mclaren.

Well it doesnt matter becasue Rafa is going nowhere anyway.

Which in many ways is probably why Arsenal are in their best financial postion, yes yes I also read about there repayment problems but I would still think they are in a hell of a lot healthier state than us, manure or the chavs.

Who else is out there than can do the job ? do we need a Ceo like the manc have got - ie no one knows who the hell he is cause you never hear from them ?

I'm not so sure, I have a feeling there is more going on behind the scenes than we realise.

Anyway, aside from all bickering I guess we will employ a new CEO. I take GYBS's point about Ayres or Eyres or whatever he's called, but I thought he was marketing or accounts or something. Ultimately, someones got to employ the groundsman, the bar managers, the catering manager, the cleaners and all that stuff. Liverpool football club probably employs 100's of people all told and certainly turns over multi millions of pounds, someones got to be in charge of it.

I've got to be honest here, I don't overly have any faith in Brian Barwick either. Why do football clubs fell the need to employ "football people" in these positions? If we are going to completely let rafa control the transfer side of the operation (which I don't agree with but anyway), why not employ a proper CEO, someone who has business expertese? It doesn't matter if he hasn't got a clue about football, just get somebody in who make siure the marketers do their job right, make sure the sponsorship deals are right, make sure the various factions at melwood and the first team manager are working together?

Yes we need a CEO IMHO, but not some FA fuddy duddy clueless c...

Did parry do all the emplying of people like that mick ? and parry had plenty of business expertise - look what he did with the prem - i think its his lack of football nounce that may or may not of let him down a bit. He seemed to have no probs selling the prem around the world so why not us ?

As I've already said mate, i have no idea what the feck parry did. I would also venture that neither does anybody else on here either, which is why I find the laying of blame at his door a bit hard to take too seriously, but anyway.

My point about a new CEO is more of a general football point. I'm just saying that if Disney Inc need a new CEO, it's not a pre-requisite that he has worn a Mickey Mouse tie all his life and saw the original screening of Fantasia. Given the fact that we are effectively looking ot get a bloke in who is going to have absolutely minimal input into any football matters, why not just get someone in who is business orientated?

Brian Barwick FFS? You wouldnt put him in charge of your local Mcdonalds. This is a multi million pound business we are talking about here. Not slagging Liverpool off as I say, it just frustrates me sometimes that the football industry seems to think the best way is to operate entirely outside of normal accepted practice. I'll tell you this right now, whoever comes in should be employing three or four people who are in charge of promoting the club in China, Chinese people preferably. We should be looking at TV advertising and brand marketing in China itself. Football needs to wake up and grow up.

rafa will be staying now for sure

He would be well enough known

[Roger Red Hat]

Will this open the door for Rafa to have more control at Melwood?

[bigmick]

Well it will open the door for a lot of things Lee hopefully. Some people think that the power struggle which hs gone on between rafa and the youth set-up which has meant that none of the kids have had an opportunity to come through is a disgrace. Apparently, it was a consequence of the rift between Parry and Rafa and in that sense, clearly it's a good thing that one of them has fecked off.

Equally, presumeably the door has been opened now to signing players for 20 million quid that are handles better than the last one was. Once again, in that sense that particular door opening can only be a good thing.
