there is a very good reason why the yanks did not even interview Rafa this summer....they knew the spaniard would have raised hell, once he realised they were downsizing Liverpool FC.
the yanks need to sell up and feck off.
Exactly, dude...and Tes' revelation of FSG selling off the Boston Red sox players adds to the intrigue...
we are now owned by people who can't even stump up 7 mil for a player...
who want players off the books like carroll, aquilani, kuyt, maxi and bellamy first and foremost despite it leaves us in a dire state where it matters most...
who have done nothing about the stadium apart from go for the cheap option...
FSG are obviously in trouble financially...and all that 'we'll fork out for any player that is needed' milarky has long seemed hollow...
Methinks they're thinking that if they can get top five on nowt on their wage structure they can then sell on for a nice profit. The problem is that they have no football men to run the show and is based on blind optimism...
they gave kenny handsome funds because he knew what he was doing right cos he's king kenny and all the merdia say so...but any quick check on his previous history since leaving blackburn showed he was useless at buying players and well out of touch...
all you can say is that for rodgers it comes in a shape of 'reap what you sow'...he's been slagging carroll off since he's been here and got his just rewards...
now we'll really see if either carroll or rodgers is any good or not...
carroll on the playing side
and rodgers on the management...if this means using the youngsters like sosa, pacheco, morgan and the like...then we'll see hust how strong our youth development team is...oh wait...we've even fecked that one up...
part of the football so far has been encouraging...but treatment of players, keeping his mouth shut and realising that he's not the big 'i am' has been to our detriment......
come Xmas we'll know for sure if Rodgers is upto the job...
