This has been lifted from El Mundo apparently and the original article is, ahem, "somewhat" different to what that piece of vermin Beasley has written.
Looks like that c*nt Beasley is out to get Rafa. We need to make sure this doesn't happen.
I think this may be our "friends" email address, although maybe a passing visitor who also works for the NOTW could kindly confirm.
We shouldn't place too much thought on what the tabloids say. Beasly has an agenda, but then tabloids are hardly bastions of reasoned journalism. We play Chelsea today, so they are trying to rock the boat because of that. Then the bigger issue of the ongoing struggle between manager and owners is being exploited.
It is underhand, but that's what passes in the tabloids.
Best to ignore it.
We already know Rafa may or may not be here next season, and we also know that the owners may or may not be here. Everything seems up for grabs at LFC at the moment, and Beasly can tell us nothing we don't already know. He is inconsequential.
He's got to be worried about us, got to be. The daft bald twat.

Beasley stated on Sunday Supplement a few weeks ago that Rafa likes to give "off the record" statements to the press. He asks them to turn off their microphones at the end of interviews so that he can tell them something that they have no proof of him saying. He can then say he's been misquoted.
Beasley referred to it as "classic Benitez".
We know you'd take anyone's word over Rafa's, even Beasley's.

Journalists deliberately change quotes all the time. I've watched interviews with managers and players on the television, which have then been quoted in tabloids the next day, with sentences either misquoted, twisted, added to, or subtracted from. Whatever suits the agenda at the time seems to go. And don't all managers/players/polititians give off-the-record press briefings?

They've used quotes, though. He must have used those words.
For some strange reason, football journalists are given far more freedom than other journalists to 'correct' quotes. They will routinely take some comment like 'Terry Mac was agitated' and add something like 'Newcastle assistant manager Terry McDermott was agitated'. Normally you have to put any changes not actually spoken in square brackets. Footie people just stick whatever they like in a quote, I guess on the basis that few players/managers bother to read them. It's basically because none of the other journalists regard the football people with any respect at all. They can get away with murder. Beasley is quite open about being a Chelski fan, and, fawningly, addresses John Terry as 'JT'. I'm just pleased Rafa has made public what a nasty piece of work he is.
