Did Joe Fagan rub his hands at Graeme Souness?


Well?

  1. 1. Well?

    • Yes he did. The pervert.
    • No he did not. People don't do that type of thing. It is utter fiction.

We've all heard the whispers that this is why Souness, but to those who haven't, it is alleged that Joe Fagan told Graeme Souness that "they(the club's hierarchy) can't afford to sack me" at which point he began rubbing his hands vigorously.

 

I just wanted to know if anybody had heard any corroborating evidence, or anything to dispute this claim? Also, I would ask that we not get bogged down in semantics as to what constitutes "rubbing".

Rafa might be. Say he wins another 16 league titles and 10 European trophies (evens split between Europa/CL). He'd literally be bigger than us.

 

Nobody is bigger than this club. Not yer Nelson Mandela's, Mahatma Gandhi's, Churchill's, yer Beatles' or yer Michael Jackson's. NOBODY.

Fagan can personally fuck off. The treble season, in my opinion, was lucky. It wasnt his team. And how can you say he's a better manager than the Roma manager at the time? How can winning a penalty shootout mean your a better manager than your opposite number when you can do nothing during the shootout to effect it.

 

A lucky manager who should never be associated with the club the way he is.

Lets just look at his 27 years service fondly, the treble being the pinnacle.

The 1986 team wasn't Kennys.

The 2005 team wasn't Rafa's.

Why would he be sacked in the first place? It's only nowadays that runner up in the league and European cup is considered a failure?

Joe Fagan was a fucking patsy.

This thread is a load of bollocks. Before getting the job as manager Joe Fagan rivalled Bob Paisley as being a tactical genius. He was along with Bob Paisley ''the brains behind the Anfield machine''.

 

Let's not forget in those days, Liverpool had a number of characters that needed to be kept in check. Souness although a great player needed a kick up the arse by times, as he had an enormous head. Tommy Smith had his difficult moments, and Emlyn Hughes rivalled Bobby Charlton with the amount of arse-kissing he did.

 

All great players, but none of which were perfect. Even Phil Neal had very habits. In 1985 Neal was sent packing by Kenny, because he refused to call Kenny ''gaffer''.

 

None of the players were perfect. Joe Fagan kept them in line. Even though they fought amongst themselves. The reason why is because they were all strong and conflicting characters as individuals. However they as a unit were a trophy collecting machine.

 

Joe Fagan was one of the reasons behind that, as was Ronnie Moran and Roy Evans.

A good post in full.

 

Robbie's comments were an absolute disgrace.
