Sorry but that is b0llocks, what about the money for Torres and Mascha. I hate our owners as much as the next Liverpool fan but lets get the facts straight, Rafa has been given money in the last 2 seasons and has bought well. Personally I'm not too worried about the Barry deal falling through, it would have been nice to have him but it was more important to get Keane.

Thats quite risky really, I'd get loans out for that business to make it grow and make the repayments back from that business, still hoping it turns out successful. Then I'd claim whatever the f.uck I could for invested/loaned money into that business back on Tax.

Thats business isnt it ?

And basically this stems back to when Roman Abramnovic bought Chelsea, it went some way to ruining football.

Who do you blame ? is it rafa's fault ? will you be calling for his head ? It is'nt rafa's decision ,to buy this fella , it's the owners (who know as mich about football as i know about anger management.)

Everyone has had ago at some of rafa's buys in the past and it's fair enough ,because they've been his choices . You live or die by your decisions as a manager. Not now mate ,because you've been undermined and the decision making process has been taken away from you.

Surely thats not applicable, what happens if Barry comes here and doesnt fit into our style of play? what happens if he just cant gel with the other players - we could argue all day about it to be honest but they will all be what if's

I dont care whether we buy SIlva or not but a left sided player is needed more than a central midfielder imo and H&G are right on this one, he is vastly overpriced for his age, like s@int said in another topic EVERY transfer is a risk.

its just the way thaty H&G did this that annoys me - not the fact that they did it

Of course it's applicable. Either rafa makes the decisions on what player he wants or he doesn't . Either you trust the manager or you don't . It's simple.

Bob Paisley "listen directors ,kevin keegan is going , so i want Kenny dalglish to replace him at X amount of £'s.

The board " well bob ,we think Joe jordan will be better ,he would cost the same and is younger "

Bob Paisley " Feck off , there's my resignation , stick it up your @rse."

It cannot be any clearer than that.
