Gillett and Hicks (ownership saga)

[Antynwa]

We're two points off top and you think it's too late for this season??? Seems like we need a change of supporters' attitude more.

 

2 Points on Top with the Mancs having a game in hand.

 

:whistle:

[Antynwa]

Don't blame it on Parry, Don't blame it on SOS, Don't blame it on diverse opinions.

 

Blame it on the newbies

 

No they won't, no they won't, no they won't just toe the line.

:whistle:

 

Hand on heart if i told you at the start of the season we would be at this stage just two points off the mancs although they have a game in hand would you have taken it.

 

I would because i know there are a few twists to come yet before someone is crowned Champions.

Yep I would have.

 

That is without knowing the results, I you told me would draw against the aforementioned teams, and still be in with a very good shout of winning it. I'd laugh in your face.

 

I don't intend to bring this back up in May, nor do I want to, I want to be proven wrong in the feelings I have and the opinions I have on why this season is going tits up. I want us to win the league.

"I don't intend to bring this back up in May, nor do I want to, I want to be proven wrong in the feelings I have and the opinions I have on why this season is going tits up."

 

You are writing as if you are showing a huge degree of foresight right now:

You are not:We are 7.4-1 to win the League on Betfair

 

The season has not gone "tits up" which would imply throwing away a great position

We have never been close to favourite & we have never traded properly lower than 3.5

 

We have only been ahead of the Mancs for under a week.

They never started badly but instead got their hard games out of the way early which the betting market understood.

 

And can you please explain how we can be more cautious than the Mancs but concede more, score similarly & be involved in more total goals in our games?

It isn't possible.

When you're done here, you have a cracking career in front of you as a World War II French General.

:D Excellant.

[coop]

For me we are showing progression as the table shows you we are second and in with a shout of the title.

 

This is progression from the previous seasons under Rafa.

 

Now come next season if we are fighting for fourth place and well off the pace for the top then i can understand peoples feelings towards Rafa as this would show we are going backwards.

 

I honestly feel we are very close to something special.

 

We have a superb first team which only needs possibly the addition of a world class winger away from having a team that can go on a dominate for many a year and allow us to add to that quality much like the mancs do.

 

It would be crazy to potentially set ourselves back two or three years whilst a new manager comes in and brings in his own ideas and players.

I would have "shut the fuck up" as the last line, but it doesn't quite scan.

With that in mind, do you not think a shorter contract extension may be wiser than the current one on offer?

[coop]

Rafa has 18 months left on his contrct and i could fully understand if the board only offered a two year contract extension onto the current 18 months he has.

[ScottyT]

He won't accept that though will he?

 

The irony is all that protesting to save his job has made him untouchable with the owners, so now if we suddenly fall apart next season we'll have to fork out a huge amount to get rid.

He wanted a 4 year extension to 2014, they wanted to offer a 2 year extension to 2012. They met in the middle or at least thats the way I see it.

[Owen]

Christ on a bike.

 

When did the "must challenge for the league this season" goalposts get shifted to "must challenge for the league unless he starts well, in which case he must win the league. Oh, and play scintilating football. With a team entirely comprised of academy products. And never make a single substitution that every single fan doesn't disagree with. Or any decision for that matter. Ooh, and he has to solve the ownership issue without making any mention of it to the press. Else, RAFA OUT?"

 

Fucking douchebags everywhere.

[JMARKH]

It mattered when you thought you could use a quote from your hero as a stick to beat Rafa with, but quickly changed your tune when, yet again, you got shown up to be fucking imbecile.

 

"Sigh"

 

Don't get shown up by your kind and Mourinho's won more titles than Rafa so he can say what he likes, he talks the talk and walks the walk.

I wouldn't have accepted it as it is not a great position to be in really especially as we still have to go to Old Trafford.

Bless you child, what's up, is your hero fluttering his lashes at Chelsea again?

[taliesin08]

When we win the league this year, can all the bellends please fcuk off.

[Dicko]

id like to see all of them out to be honest,im a fan of Rafa,but i dont think hes good enough to win the title,hes far too negative,his transfer record is far worse than houlliers

and him coming out in the press every week with some shite is not the liverpool way.

his rant will be remembered in years to come and used against him if we dont win the league,and at this moment in time i cant see us winning it as much as i hate to say it,

all season ive believed we would win it,but after last night i just cant see it happening,going on current form in 2 games time i can see us being in 4th!

 

Biggest load of shite ever posted on TLW.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

I've not used "ignore" on here for ages, but it's been put back in use again this weekend.

 

 

I love you too

 

Not that you'll see this message, mind

[BorizJeltzin]

It proves that if you have not won the league in your first four seasons at a club, you probably never will do.

 

You could also say it proves that all really good amangers will win the league during their first four years at a club, like I said put out a list of what you nconsider to be the best 5 managers in the world and how long it has taken them to win the league with their clubs.

 

Edit- A bottle of Rijoa obviously influences your typing.

 

"It is not likely to be manager more than 4 years" :

List of English Football League managers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

In Premier League: Gareth Southgate is no. 5 with 2 years 254 days. That says a lot!
