Rafa Exclusive in The Times

[Paul]

Babel, Voronin, Dossena and Degen leaving simply to reduce the wage bill would be a move in the right direction, in my view. We'd lose some utter shite, save some money and create opportunities for youngsters to fill the gap. I wonder what percentage of possible games they've started on average over the course of their Liverpool "careers". If it's 10% I'd be amazed and yet I reckon they've cost us well over £30m and counting so far.

This is why you need a director of football as well as a manager someone to balance the books on the wages and make decisions about players being bought in and there wages in the whole scheme of the total players wages. In some cases the DOF would tell Rafa he cant have X without sellling Y. Its much better having someone who knows something about football making that decision rather than Purlsow or Parry

No, Mad Nick, it isn't.

 

It's the fucking exact opposite.

Whats your problem with all the insults?

[silverlining]

Bloody hell Nick, "mad" is affectionate, really.

[Vivaldo]

So this is what it feels like to be an Aston Villa fan!! Now I get it!

 

On that notion expecting to win everything is like being a glory hunting MANC fan:whistle:

[Durango]

the debt of 80m when he yanks took over is probably down to Diouf going for next to nothing plus diomede,biscan and daio going for nothing having been on big wages for 4 plus years.

The debt when the Anericans took over was approx £45m

and so, the point being made beyond any argument or debate you can come up with....the trite stuff starts to allow you to believe that distraction will solve the problem for you.

 

Transparent.

 

hello there, Kenny.

[Ted]

Didn't Morgan reveal that the total debt on the club was approx £70m in 2005/6 at an AGM?

[Red Nick]

Whilst it didnt look a great deal at the time it looks like Moores did a great deal for the shareholders

Why post something like that if you are not looking for an argument?

 

Maybe he did, maybe he didnt, doesnt mean he isnt a sell out and a twat.

[Durango]

Nah john it was 80m, ask mick and gillett

If Gillett told me tomorrow was Friday,I wouldn't believe him,

Gillett told Mick that he never made those remarks about "spades in the ground" within 60 days.

 

Not that I don't believe Mick,I wouldn't believe a word out of the mouth of Georgie Boy.

 

Go and check, when they took over, the bought the Club for £175m Approx and took on approx £45m of debt, £220m approx in total.

[Hermes]

Silly question, how the hell do I know? But we'd have had £17m not spent on a right back. Darren Bent isn't doing too bad for £10m.

 

20 league goals in a poor team.

[stringvest]

Yep. Someone was deluded enough to bet me that Kuyt would outscore him this year. Like taking candy from a baby, and in this case, giving it to HJC.
