Gillett on fans anger and backstabs Rafa

What George says sounds like total crap to me. From the 1st point when he claimed he was shocked that the fans hated him it is utter bullshite. Does he even get on forums to know about how we feel. Is he that illiterate not to read what the press produces, and does he even not know of the protestors and hard feelings against him? And suddenly when McKenna approaches him its as though its his first time hearing that the fans hate him. C**t.

All he reads is the footsie index he probably thinks thats near enough.

At first i thought Gillete was the lesser of 2 evil's, but I have recently change dmy mind, he is just a yes man.

At least Hicks seem's to be backing Rafa now.

I think if Hicks got rid of Parry & gillette we may be better off, but it all hangs on money, and in the current climate, there aint a lot going round!

I could spend 10 pence and get as much done as they have.

If they have spent £100M then they've wasted most of it.  Probably like everything else these clowns say it's just another pack of lies.

RAWK reporting that Gillet & Hicks took out short term "specialist" loans to cover the original purchase of Keane and to deal with more recent 'short-term associated costs'.

"According to very well-placed sources in the City, our club has taken out not one but two specialist loans with the Professional Sports Team at Barclays Bank: one in the summer to pay the Robbie Keane transfer, and the other in January to cover 'short-term associated costs' (which i think means covering player wages). This is worrying on so many different counts - firstly because one has to ask where all the money in the RBS loan has gone; secondly becasue we're just piling up debt, at high interest rates; and thirdly because using a third party to finance transfers could, arguably, be said to be against the spirit of the new FA transfer regulations introduced after the Tevez deal, because it effectively meant that keane was mortgaged by Barclays.

For people who don't think we're in financial trouble, or insist that it's no more than that faced by other clubs, let me spell this out: we're taking out loans not only to pay for transfers BUT also to cover player wages."

Smells like cash is being stripped out of the club and laundered through architects and building consultants before these two bas**rds ride out west.

I await the publication of the reds accounts.

I'd be surprised if the above were true.  We withdrew a loan of £350 million last year and I would imagine most of it is sitting in a bank because the club hasn't spent it on a stadium or Kaka.

All will be revealed when the accounts are published.

^^^^

Fuuuuck! Hope those sources are exaggerating!

Where's the panic button when you need it?

Worrying times - how can things be going so well on the pitch and so badly off it?

Who is actually the 'city sources'?

Probably a bank manager !!

“I then went to walk away, and he came after me saying, ‘A few weeks ago, we were in first position, then a certain individual from the club attacked another individual from another club, and, since then, we have lost form and slid down the league.’

“I was stunned, and asked if he was blaming Benitez as a result, and in saying that, was he not backing the manager?

“Rather than confirm or deny as I expected, he replied ‘that’s your implication’, before I walked away and back outside to the real world.”

So are you publically blaming Rafa for the run of bad form or not?? sounds to me like you are Mr. Gilett. But sounds more like trying to deflect the meaningful questions and concerns of us fan's onto a subject, that IMO, is total nonsense!! surely going from 1st to 3rd would be an 'on the pitch' issue, not a result of merely words alone!?!?!

Too clear things up - I hate american football more than you I am sure - I have to deal with these people all the time and it sickens me  - loads of American sports fans are fickle and have little understanding - I've been playing football my whole life and it's not easy being playing a sport that is mocked and misunderstood in the states so your preaching to the choir.  but I am not gonna sit back and listen to someone tell me That most Americans are greedy!  Thats Pathetic.    ---I appreciate the explanation of how sports work in America---- but that is not the discussion.  I'm just not gonna sit back and let someone bad mouth my country.  And I've been supporting this team WAY before Gillet and Hicks came along     so change your tone on your posts and Redirect your anger towards something worth while.                

I think they are schmucks but its not because they are American its because they're Schmucky people.  And Greed doesn't start and stop at the Atlantic ocean.

First off I never slighted Americans, I slighted 2, Hicks and Gilett. There are plenty of Americans who understand how to run a professional sports team, quite well. I could list off my favorites (starting with my man Zygi Wilf, Skol Vikings) but it would be irrelevant to most football supporters.

Second, I live in Canada, and 'dealing with people' isn't really a problem, the only moaning I get is about diving, and the rolling like a girl that ensues, I for one agree with these people. These people that are 'mocking football' sound like they have the same attitude as you do regarding their favorite sports. You get what you give.

If you feel I put you down by me trying to explain why American sports owners have it much easier than football owners, then you need to reread my post because I was just making it clear that these two clowns need to get their grimy prints off my team.

What does that even mean?

 Okay, I get it.  Because I am American I don't understand football or I don't love it.  Its the love of my life I eat it and drink it up everyday.  Takes a lot of nerve to take stabs at a fellow Liverpool supporters validity...

This isn't the thread for these discussions so I vote we end them.  As much as I want to write why I'm just as in love with liverpool as anyone else,  I feel like I should be in the company of people that don't require those sort of things.

no you don't get it. I'll end this discussion when you quit trying to pin me as anti-American.

I said "These people that are 'mocking football' sound like they have the same attitude as you do regarding their favorite sports. You get what you give."

I said it because you said you HATE American football so if you're telling someone you "hate" something they have a passion for they will have no problem mocking something you love. Not because most Americans like to mock soccer, but because they don't want to hear soccer fans mock what they love.

Again you keep on trying to differ from me and say I'm labeling Americans, I'm North American too. If I said you were less knowledgeable because of living in America I would be labeling myself too.

fair enough

Gillett is now reported as saying that Rafas comments about whisky nose have affected the teams performance and has played a part in the recent loss of form     what planet are these people on.

He said this to SOS last weekend before the Chelsea game mate.

Just the media trying to find old news to stir things up, seeing as they can't directly have a go at Rafa for yesterdays team selection.

With owners like ours Sir Alcahol doesn't have to say  a word.
