Dokko Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm starting to think Hicks is the one in the right. If he can get full control of the club i reckon in a few years he'll be the best bet to get them on level terms with manu. Let's hope he fails then. [scrooge/] I think he'll succeed in the end. More balls and front than Gillette, and has basically made Parry place at the club unmanageable. He will refuse to sell to anyone, and Gillette will get fuked off eventually and sell to him. ....there is a good chance the Dubai iirc consortium will take over at some point. It really is getting perhaps too messy for the Americans. I think there is very little chance. Hicks simply will not sell and Gillette can only sell with Hicks' permission, which he'll never get now, not in a million years. GG will crumble to Hicks, make a few million and part ways before the start of the new season. Parry might survive till then with GG's backing.

Parky Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My Spanish mate has just munched down a plate full of paella! There is still a chance Mourinho might go there if they don't get Wenger or Van Basten is deemed too inexperienced. Cruyff has some say there still and will push for Van Basten with Rijkaard maybe going as Dutch national coach or part of that set up. KK would make a good Barca manager imho.

Rafa's got the job unless he doesn't want it anymore. He'll survive any shake-up, especially the one i reckon will happen, its just up to him now if he stays or goes. Got to say, no one will blame him if he heads for the exit doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Tee hee) Don't know an awful lot about either of them but I get the impression Hicks will just dig his heels in. It's a situation that's been managed terribly by them all. For a club which allegedly doesn't wash it's dirty linen in public, they're giving an awful lot of interviews. You'd have thought they'd all just shut the fuck up and phone each other rather than inviting Sky round to discuss things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought they could rise above it, but they can be incredibly petty and vindictive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bendo Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 He will never be Barca manager cause his football is the most boring s*** in Christendom.... So boring that in all competition we have scored more than any of the other top 4, but the papers say it's boring so it must be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So boring that in all competition we have scored more than any of the other top 4, but the papers say it's boring so it must be. To be fair, I thought you lot played some cracking stuff against Arsenal even if the one touch passing of your opponents was better (who does it better than them anyway?). Goals don't tell the whole story however but I don't think you're boring. I think a lot of that is down to Torres who has given you a different dimension this year. I also think 'boring football' is only a real problem when it is ineffective anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Digger Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Scored 8 more at home than Arsenal, 9 more than Chelsea, 1 less than Utd. and broke the CL scoring record. If you go to home games and seldom away, as most do, I think that represents good value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 And Megson recently said: "Liverpool are going to have a massive say in which teams go down. "We would hope that Rafa Benitez will retain the integrity of the Premier League with his squad selection." What does he mean by that? Megson is a cunt. Why should he start playing his best 11 now when he's been doing this all season right before a champions league game? It's Boltons own fault they are going down and they shouldn't be expecting any favours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Benny has a sly pop at Avram... "Rafael Benitez questions spirit of Avram Grant's Chelsea Matt Hughes Rafael Benítez yesterday belittled Avram Grant's role at Chelsea by describing Liverpool's Champions League semi-final opponents as Roman Abramovich's team. In the first bout of psychological sparring before tomorrow's first leg at Anfield, the Liverpool manager claimed that Chelsea's style of play has not developed under Grant and that they remain wedded to the attritional football favoured by José Mourinho, his predecessor. In contrast with the antipathy that he felt towards Mourinho, Benítez has enjoyed cordial relations with Grant, but that has not stopped him questioning the Israeli's contribution. Benítez has always insisted that Abramovich's spending power has been the main reason for success at Stamford Bridge and Mourinho's departure has done nothing to change his mind. “There's no difference between this Chelsea and last year's Chelsea, only in the press conferences,” Benítez said. “I think it's more or less the same. I was watching the game at Everton on Thursday and they were playing more or less the same. “As I've said before, the key to them was Abramovich. In the past I think they have built a fantastic team. You may miss José, yes, but not me. It could be they have less spirit than under Mourinho, you know maybe better than me. I have enough things to do at Liverpool now.
