Fabio Capello for Liverpool report is 'utter rubbish'Dec 5 2007
by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo
LIVERPOOL today emphatically dismissed speculation they want Fabio Capello to replace Rafa Benitez as manager.
One report this morning stated that Liverpool had made contact with the Italian boss with a view to him taking over at Anfield.
But Reds chief executive Rick Parry moved swiftly to knock down the speculation, describing it as “absolutely, completely and utterly untrue”.
The report claimed 61-year-old Capello – who has already thrown his hat into the ring for the England manager’s job – was contacted twice by Liverpool last week, before and after the Champions League win over Porto.
But Parry insists no such approaches were ever made and is perplexed by the rumours.
He said: “Capello has not contacted us and we have not contacted him.”
Parry must have wet the bed ! Up early and actually making a statement in reasonable time.
