Guest Stephen927 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 This all seems to be coming from Talksport at the moment, which let's be honest, is about as close to reality as a Harry Potter book. Won't believe a word of it till there's a more reliable source. That's not to say I'm not crapping in my pants right now. It wouldn't surprise me if he did walk away (in general, not now in particular). He's not the kind of guy to take any crap, expecting a transfer kitty of £15-20 on top of what he makes from sales is hardly unreasonable given he's supposed to be mounting a title challenge, and it's not as if he'll struggle to find a new job. He acts as if he has never had a penny to spend, when he has spent and wasted fortunes. More than Manchester United have spent in the same time period. Really? Over the past 5 years, not including this transfer window, Liverpool have spent £24m more than Man United. They have indeed. Not that that says much at all. Do you remember the squad we had 5 years ago and the one they had? Fergie has only had to fine-tune his squad for over 10 years. So Benetiz can't complain when he has been given a fair amount in comparison to his competitors. What fair amount is this? He has spent £224m in 5 years. Perhaps if he didn't waste his money on a overrated right back or on tosh like Dossena and Keane he might go places in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his gross spend is still less than that of Chelsea, Man City and Spurs. Sunderland and NUFC spent £150m and £120m gross respectively over the same time frame. We've gone from fighting against you for fourth to fighting Man Utd and Chelsea for first. I'd love to know what standards you're judging Rafa by here.

Guest Phil K Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Talksport and half of Merseyside reckon he has. I wouldn't know though. I hope he has coz I'd love them c***s to drop like a stone. Would delight me, TBH - I rate Benitez, and if Liverpuddle "drop like a stone" (they won't) we'd may begin to see that one of the national rag journo's favourite teams' fans aren't as "fiercely loyal - through hell and high water" (you know - the OPPOSITE of what they keep attacking us for) as they keep intoning. Sadly, I think it's all bullsh*t - after all he's in thew process of signing someone else at this minute anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 he was giving a post match conference on sky last night...kind of leads me to believe he hadn't walked.. wouldn't surprise me if he did go, the american owners at liverpool are up to all sorts of dodgy stuff with finances and loans...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Its alreet, the club's debt will catch up with them soon enough. Especially if they crash out of the Champions League or have a poor league season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they crash out of the Champions League or have a poor league season. I think H&G would sell the club if they couldn't service the debt. I think Man Utd and Arsenal would be in a spot of bother, too, if they missed out on CL footie. The CL is worth a metric ton of cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 they would want to sell the club but it is easier said than done. Selling is easy. Getting the price they want is hard. Anyone offers £500m, H&G will bite their hand off, but if push comes to shove, they'll accept a lot less. Arsenal could survive without Champions League money, fact, it's been said on many occasions from people at different levels of the club. Survive, of course, but it would put a big crimp on transfers. Given Wenger's spendthrift ways, it'd affect Arsenal the least on theory. In practice, it'd probably come down to holding on to players first and foremost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Alex has to defend his title with a minus 50m budget, Arsenal minus 15m, Chelsea haven't spent tons as they have in the past. He should get on with it.

Guest Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Funny how Rafa isn't world-class, but leaving Liverpool who'd just finished 2nd would have lead to them 'sinking like a stone'. Any chimp could have lead a team with Reina, Carragher, Mascherano, Alonso, Torres, etc. to second place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
