So Odin is a massive dobber then. What about this lad that supposedly had twitface chat with this lawyer dude?

Without Rafa does the valuation of the club reduce? Logic would say that if the main 'thing' which kept us on the PL gravy train is no longer there then the value takes an immediate hit. So does he not want to sell and doesn't give a shit about valuation or was it his refusal to give Rafa what he wanted, Rafa wouldn't sign so he had to do something.... and will get a patsy and stick them on a 1yr contract whilst sale gets sorted..... if new coach gets a 3yr deal think we can safely lock this thread.

I know it's probably going to turn out to be bollocks (no offence intended Odin!) but I'm going all just so I've got some hope to cling on to right now.

Still can't believe we are taking about a replacement for Rafa..... In my dreams a takeover will happen soon and Rafa will come back, failing that a takeover and Jose comes in. But back in the real world and if I was a betting a man then my money would go on it being Steve Bruce. :'(

So for the next incoming 'person' will have loads to contend with: 1) you are not Rafa 2) you can only bring in one assistant/coach 3) we only want you to work with kids under 25/24yrs old 4) you are not Rafa 4) you wont have final say (or any say) on transfers 5) "your" transfer budget will be the lowest in the league 6) as soon as it's goes 'south' you're a dead man walking 7) press/fans will be all over you (goldfish bowl effect for want of a better word) 8) you're not Rafa! 9) a takeover *may* be in the pipeline at some point so probably best just to stay in a hotel 10) you will receive no real support from those above you 11) oh, and you're not one of the best managers in the world! Anyone taking it either has balls of steel or more likely is a fucking pussy desperate for a fisting.

never seen/heard of these guys before but quite a good video summarising events.

Obviously I'm biased but wtf?!

This. I thought this was just me Me as well. Feel like Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting.... favourite part of the day is when I get up and fire up the laptop and log in here, that sliver of hope as the page loads.....

Brilliant!!!

Off topic but by God! What a tune! From a cracking album too!

Fuuuuuccccckkkk!!! I'm so excited!! :frantic: :frantic: :frantic:

Thanks for the explanation!

Beat me to it. Can someone enlighten me also?

ARRGGHH!! My eyes are bleeding!!

but but.... two teams from the best league in the world tho!

Game has been fucking rank. Barca v Ajax would have been so much better for so many reasons.

Fucking ridiculous. Funny that is was Moussa but c'mon...never a pen!!

Sad news. RIP. Couldn't give a fuck how good of a footballer he was, 35 is now age to go. :'(

WTF has gone on? Left the office and this thread was on page 11 and it was like "talking but long way off" etc and now all this!! Just worked my way through every page. Can't believe it. Hearty welcome back to those returning members. Working from home tomorrow so going to have SSN on all day hoping for the confirmation. Only thing that could top it of was if Hayley McQueen facetimed me to give me the news personally. Wish I was in the toon but got the next best thing... this forum!

Testimonial?

Absolutely brilliant result!!! Now for someone to come in and buy us.....

Know this is petty as fuck but love that famous anfield atmosphere

Wanted Ajax to win but think spurs will provide tougher opponents for pitypool in the final.

I hate football.

I just love watching this Ajax team. Fingers crossed they win the final.
