Sunday papers on Rafa and Keane

Parry evidently spent more on Keane than Rafa intended.

To prevent Spurs from repoting us to the FA for tapping Keane up. Ironically that's what we're "supposedly" now accusing Spurs of doing.

Might help to get that 15m back for him! Not that he's even worth that in reality. 
 

Didn't really want to get involved at first, but what the hell.

I'll be supporting Rafa through thick and thin, purely because I support this club and want whatever is best for this club - and there aren't many out there that can replace Rafa.

Going by your theory in another thread DLS, if you don't support the manager you don't support the club.

IRWT.

The manager and players should and are supported in the stadium. Forums are here for people to give differing opinons on the internet, not in the stadium.

Or do you want this website to only admit fans who see Rafa as a messiah? You should mention it to the mods.

And that has what to do with anything that's being posted right now? Nothing. Who has said they don't support Rafa Benitez? Nobody. That statement has what relevance to who bought Keane? None.

Exactly the reason I was reluctant to join in, as I knew my posts would be misinterpreted.

I'm not condemning anybody's opinion of Rafa at all, I am saying that I will be supporting him whatever.

In the same post, I am referring to somebody else's theory - not my own.

I'm slightly intrigued by the fact that the people who this appears to have got up the nose the most appear to be Robbie Keane's fellow countrymen.

Liverpool first.  National pride second.

Them's the rules.

The problem is this isn't the first time Benitez has made things public to score points.

Knock it on the head DLS.

Rafa said 4 words in response to an accusation from the press about how much money 'he' had spent on Keane.

And on pretty much every other 'outburst' Rafa has come out with he has been spot on.

I'm Irish and could never stand Robbie Keane in green or red. But the way he has been treated by Benitez is amateurish. Whether he was Irish or Chinese makes little difference to me. Liverpool FC paid 20m for him and we ain't used the expensive asset very well

Lets be honest and look at it with our eyes rather than tinted glasses either way.

When the owners come out and say anything it's "it should be kept in house" "it's not the Liverpool way" and what other cliche people wanna use.

When Benitez comes out and says anything "he's well within his right" "he should be telling us how it is."

Becuase of what's happened in the past, people's views are clouded. Benitez has made outbursts that haven't been needed and haven't helped the club any more than the yanks outbursts have. The entire club should hush up whatever differences they have.

Huge game tomorrow. 48 hours left in the window. Regardless of whether the qoute is accurate or not, this is the worst time for this story to break.
The fact that keane isn't in the squad shows petulance by someone or genius by rafa. Just so unnecessary and ugly. Hope is keane is injured because ngog and babel are no better than an average performing keane.
As someone else wrote earlier...one way or another someone's opinion will be proved right.
Time for all at LFC to shut up and get on with getting results and deal with the mess in 4 months

DLS.

Rafa said 'The club spent it'.  Does that classify as an outburst? I think not.

Hop on over to the Knee Jerk thread.

Rafa said "the club spent it" need he say it at all? I think not.

Hop on over to the HURRY: Offer Rafa a new contract thread.

I must now say something I thought I would never say, based on the breaking story being true, Rafa must now leave his position.

Why? Because Liverpool football club is no longer his main priority.

I'm embarrassed to see you type that.

Already posted in there.  Thanks for the invaluable guidance though.

Making a mountain out of a molehill here mate. It could so easily have meant "I didn't pay for him personally, it was from the club's funds".

If that's NOT the case, then it could just as easily mean something else. It's not to say that Keane isn't wanted by Rafa.

Any time.

Don't worry mate. Rafa has appointed a media man, Juan Francesco, to scan the press, tv and internet nowadays for people criticising him, just like wacko Houllier in the end. He's probably visited this site. He'll report Brian78 to Rafa.

Excellent point.

Totally agree with Res'

This whole thread is basically a stupid newspaper reporting something and as always some take the bait. We are playing Chelsea in 15 hours and this is what we're talking about? No wonder why we're in a slump.

Source?

Excellent point.

Dig about a little and you'll access the source. Rafa and Houllier have both been encouraged by the adoring fans to develop a Caesar complex at Anfield so it's inevitable they would tread the same path of paranoia.

If you know the location, please provide. Or don't post any "info" anymore if you're unwilling to link it to a source.

I don't want to dig about a bit.  You come on here making a wild accusation so I want you to post the source and the author.

Why are you not prepared to?
