If that had been Rafa, the press would have been tearing strips off him because it's "good old arry" nobody says bugger all.

Nando is second only to Lando when it comes to being respectful to other posters :)

I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my chair when Lando accused you of being childish and churlish though,

pot, kettle........BLACK!!!  :D  :D

in my opinion Lando's problem is one of intense insecurity, mixed with sociopathic tendencies whereby he cannot tolerate or comprehend any differing opinions to his own and so he lashes out violently against them instead of trying to debate like most of us do.

Nando26 I haven't figured out yet, but I'm leaning towards him just being a &%¤#!  :p  :D

Surprise, surprise...a thread diverts from football to talking about the merits of posters and Heimdall's got his oar in.  is there really any mystery why proper football discussion is few and far between on here?  Some people seem far more interested in stirring. :glare:

Look, Nando's been spoken to and the other stuff was posted weeks ago.  Best we all move on, eh? ???

"all"?  ???

One wonders whether selling Alonso was planned after reading that, and after watching how many players we have signed.

Interesting read that Igor brought.

BENITEZ DELIGHTED BY PURSLOW IMPACT
Paul Hassall 14 September 2009

Rafael Benitez and Christian Purslow have today spoken of the burgeoning relationship they believe can lead Liverpool into a bright future.

The Reds' managing director has made an impressive impact during his short time at Anfield and has developed an understanding with the Spanish manager that they both believe can help bring the club a new era of success.
 
"We are working very hard together, very close," said Rafa.
 
"I would say we have a meeting not just every week but every day. We are on the phone and as soon as I try to do something or want to do something, he is there.
 
"So we are working very hard here and I think the relationship is good. I am really pleased.
 
"I think he understands the club. He was telling me about some games and he remembers who scored the winning goals and things like this – so sometimes it's a problem for me!
 
"He loves the club and he wants the best for the club."
 
The boss' glowing words are echoed by Purslow, himself a fluent Spanish speaker, who is full of praise for both Rafa the manager, and Rafa the business man.
 
"An absolutely key part of my job, is to make sure that the business and football side work well together," he said.
 
"And in people terms that means Rafa and I working well together.
 
"My view is that we have an extremely close professional working relationship. We speak all the time. We have very specific plans that we work to and stick to.
 
"I enjoy immensely that part of my work. Again central to success in any football club is the relationship between the leadership of the business and the football manager working well.
 
"And I couldn't be more pleased three months in as to how that is working.
 
"And Rafa – he's a pleasure to work with because not only is he a great football manager, he's extremely commercially literate.
 
"But I wouldn't be too excited about the Spanish – in that Rafa's English is excellent and he constantly tells me that my Spanish is terrible!"
 
The Reds' new managing director was also keen to point out that he has no intention of getting involved in team affairs and is committed to the 'football plan' he has helped devise alongside Benitez.
 
He said: "It is entirely the manager's job to decide who he wants in the football club at any point in time and I don't believe that should be second guessed. And it isn't.
 
"My job is to support that and to provide the financial backdrop to make that possible and that's exactly how it works. So every player at the club today is a player Rafa wants here.
 
"That's the way it must be and that's the way it will always be between him and I. We work together on that basis.
 
"And no, he's not going to buy a player because I want him to and he's not going to sell a player because I want him to. He's going to make all of those footballing decisions.
 
"And where we have to work well is in making sure we do so within a broad framework.
 
"We call it 'The Football Plan'. That's what we have and that's what we work to. And this summer for the first time we road tested the idea of a Football Plan – of having a list of players to sell or buy for broad values, within an agreed budget.
 
"And I'm delighted to say that we achieved all of those goals over the summer transfer window."

good read...

If the relationship is so good and if rafa is happy about the transfers we had so far, maybe we have someone quality lined up for the January window?

Interesting.  I call it civil discussion and a much more desirable contribution to the forum than the barrage of text speak and one liners that passes for posts these days.  Your brother has already tested my patience with this "boring" approach so you might learn from his mistakes and leave it.   :;):
