I thought Alonso turned down Real Madrid? As did Rafa Benitez himself? Neither came here for the money.

 

Real Madrid were interested but I dont remember them bidding so therefore Alonso is a mercenary

[Moschops II]

No chance, I have turned down jobs offering me more money before. I have refused a job at Whitbread for a lot of money because I don't drink alcohal due to religious reasons. Sometimes money isn't everything.

 

Says you. I reckon £6 an hour and you'd be fluffing the reserves.

£6 an hour is a lot of money, you taking the piss cos I am poor?

No, because you're gay.

have to say that this thread is fkin hillarious!! Cant we keep it as some sort o specail induction to new members so they know what to expect from Rash?!

 

Players such as Duff may well not have gone to Chelsea under Bates, as everyone knew they were skint and going nowhere, then along comes Abromovich and it becomes pretty clear his money is going to make them a major force in the game, now dont get me wrong, i despise everything they stand for at the moment but any top class player not already at a massive club would be tempted if Chelsea bid for them, they are going to have a great chance of success and get paid a fortune to do so, hard to turn down, doesnt make them all mercenaries. Those at big clubs, Liverpool, Barcelona, Madrid, Juventus, Milan etc may well say no but the majority of players wouldnt.

Rashid, we didn't bid for him, Houllier had decided against it as he was too expensive.

 

How in fucks name can he sit and wait for a bid that is never going to happen???

 

Duff arguments are where you really show why people take the piss.

Why apply for job with whitbread in the first place if you were going to turn it down.I would have thought at a company like that thier products may well have been discussed at an interview and your doubts would hve been raised before any job was offered.

unless of course you were head hunted.

Maybe he works for a sandwich bar and walks up and down the street with a billboard advertising special offers.

 

And the Whitbread brewery owned pub across the road wanted to headhunt Rashid to advertise the price of their Kp salted nuts and lunchtime specials.

 

Not a dig at you Rash or the Muslim faith, but religions are like a pick and mix mobile phone package. A muslim can decide that alcohol is a big no no, but then still break other rules of the Koran. So, its a case of well yeah I'll follow this rule, but not another one, cos I don't fancy that.

 

A designer faith, if you will.

I was asked if I wanted to work in Marketing at Whitbread by an ex boss!! My dad told me it was not right, and having thought about it I agreed. It wasn't right to Market something I wouldn't want myself. It was a 15% pay increase, not to bo sniffed for anewly married bloke at the time, I said no. Hundreds would do the same. I know Duff would have been offered 10 times more a week (!) and the principle isn't the same but it is an example.

 

Note Beni: I currently sell Burgers on a slip road on the M1. ;) Halal Burgers of course. ;)

Was always under the impression we didn't want to spend a big amount on Duff and he signed a contract for Blackburns sake (so they wouldn't get ripped off and he could only leave for a large amount). Houllier wouldn't have paid £17m and he moved to Chelsea in my opinion because they we're the only one' wo would pay that fee for him and they we're on the verge of big things. He did nothing wrong and did Blackburn a favour.

 

Personally think him moving was more to do with a great opportunity to be patrt of a side that would win things rather than a few extra grand (which no doubt helped.) What a cunt eh?

 

Also, Xabi never turned down Real Madrid and to my knowledge neither has Rafa. Rash with this post and the Essien/Wright-Phillips are shit post i can see why everyone thinks you talk shit!

Wifi technology, eh. Impressive.

I do admire your principles Rashid and the world would be a better place if everyone had similar control. However where do you draw the line. Would you for instance market tobbacco or work in Macdonalds.

Sometimes religion puts controls on the individual which are nothing but a head F**k. IMHO

Islam says to buy someone a drink is the same as drinking it yourself. (Don't worry I always buy the drinks but you get my point?)

 

But working somewhere blatently like that can be avoided. The other thing is Interest is a sin in Islam whether taking it or paying it, but how many Muslims work in banks?

 

You have to draw the line somewhere but alcohal is where I draw the line and I am not even a strict Muslim at all.

So why won't Allah be pissed off about all that interest but he will be about you having a drink?

 

I agree you have to draw the line, I draw it at following rules to appease imaginary characters.

Rashid, your views, ridiculous arguments and 5 page threads make me wanna

 

 

Do you have a social life?

 

Do you post on the net all day?

 

Please go and annoy someone else.
