You and everyone else on here, know fuck all about managing a football team, but that doesn't stop you from telling us constantly that the manager is making a mistake by selling this or that player.

 

Considering that Rafa has worked in football his entire adult life, I'd say he knows more than the people who've run the club for the last 20 years.

 

Fat Sam or Tony Adams or Gazza etc. has also worked in football their entire lives, doesn't make them the fucking gurus of the football world. Rafa perhaps knows more than the people that has run the club for the last 20 years, but just because he has been in football for his entire life, doesn't per-se make him more knowledgeable.

He's been given his contract and control, and with that extra responsibility. Can't see why people are getting so upset. He is making the changes HE feels need making. Having specialised in Youth and Academy at Madrid, I'm sure he knows a thing or two. If it works in the long run then great, the club is all the better. If it doesn't then alot on here will get their wish and he'll be sacked himself. Just sit back and see how things develop over the next 18months instead of organising a witch hunt because the man who goes down the spar to buy the penguins for the half time cuppa has been told to find another job in Tesco.

I think rafa is going to do absolutely everything himself now. I say "himself" but he has been busy building a machine to clone himself and the other day he made his first successful rafa clone.

Fat Sam et al, haven't won 2 La Liga's, a Champions League, UEFA Cup and an FA Cup.

But Fat Sam is British and does a lot of work for the Fergie Appreciation soci.... sorry the LMA, so that sort of evens things out !

 

Oh, yeah. Forgot about the English element of it. Of course it means they know everything there is to know about the game. After all it was invented in England.

Only the real one had a belly-button. That's the only way to differentiate.

Based on what? Seriously Ant this does you no favours.

 

Now I'm not defending Parry, I'm just trying to merely indicate that people wanted a more ruthless man intent on delivering objectives.

 

We will now have that man and he will pull no punches, any other CEO would not have done what the club have done for Michael.

I don't get what you mean? It reads that the club have been good to him, under Parry, who is still the CEO is he not?

The cull must be linked to the poor state of finances for the club which have now been confirmed.

 

I think there is likely to be a smaller more agile organisational structure put in place by Rafa with the goal of being more effective with a cheaper overall cost.

Agreed

It'll be streamlining rather than replacement, that'll be the order of the day.

Maybe the Reservs arn't going to have a kit man ? Seeing as are reserves are all kids coming through maybe Rafa will demand that they look after there own kit as part of the learning process ?

 

Or Maybe Rafa is ensuring that there will be no more leeks of any kind regarding what goes on at Anfield returning us back to the day when you didnt know we were after a player till he signed and had his picture taken with his shirt

 

Either way these types of things are what we all go through when we work for big Business, Rationalization, Streemlining, Cost Evectivness, Company Review, call it what you will it means the dole for someone

Maybe in future training session first team vs reserves matches will be 'shirts v skins'?
