      The article is pure rubbish, I mean for a start off we are broke, and it would cost 20 million to pay off rafa early.

      The only possible way rafa could go early is if a club like Real were to come in and offer to buy out Rafa's contract. The point of the article is to try and upset, or destabilise Rafa in such a way that he might jump, if such an offer from Real came along.

      If ever that scenario were to come along, then there is no telling who they might replace him with. If it happened anytime soon it would likely be a cheap short term option such as Kenny Dalgleish, or this other fella mentioned in the article. They would want to make it more appealing to new owners who could come in and change it without the expense of paying out a huge debt to a manager.

      I actually agree. Just not sure he has done enough to warrant the job at Anfield mate.

      Let's not kid ourselves here.

      If people want Rafa gone, this is the standard of manager we will probably get. Someone who has shown enough to the owners to suggest he works well with no budget. Mcleish fits their bill.

      Even Mcleish seems to be getting more of a budget to work with at Birmingham though.

      Makes you wonder if he'll even want to come here. Sad times when Birmingham boss is more happy being there than with us.

      (Which is also a good thing as i don't want him)

      Did Fergie do enough for the United job? Probably not but he's now become the best manager in world football.

      Is how I feel, definitely not a sh*t manager though, done well with Brum, nobody could question that, they look to be an established prem side now for the foreseeable, which is pretty good stuff considering they were promoted this year, with Wolves and Burnley struggling away. Deserves a crack at a bigger club, not here though I don't think.

      Is that what we're aiming for now? An "established" Premiership side?

      Suppose with our finances the way they are, soon we might be hoping for just that.

      Well I personally dont think he has the caliber to manage a Top Club like LFC nor he has the Image to attract Big Faces. If he comes he will be a muppet of the YANKS.He would completely f**k up our club and remindind that he has spent more than us  it will be a waste for selecting him as the next manager.

      Well this is absolutely fantastic news. Never been prouder or happier to be a red when you wake up and see your linked to alex mcleish. Exciting times ahead. Maybe we can sell torres and bring in boyd. Sign ferguson and mcfadden whilst were at it. Then rival stoke city for 12th place.

      We have the media and all the Anti-Rafa fans who have caused aload of pressure for him and the players since week 3 or 4 of the season to thank for this so well done, a big massive congratulations to you. Really do hope your happy if Rafa is moved on and we bring some tosser like Mcleish in to manage us.

      How many times have you watched the so called experts on the TV, they all reckon that as a new manger you need at least five years to sort out a club, but ask yourselves this, was our club in such a mess when Rafa took over? if so why? and i bet you all thought that the ones who failed were the best things since sliced bread when they took over and i know that we have had some bad incidences over the years which have affected some of them, but i agree, give Rafa next season to see if he is right, but six years to sort out a club?

      As I said in another thread.

      If Rafa goes to Madrid or whatever it's going to be comical seeing all the names we are linked with. And I'll probably wet myself when the next manager is actually revealed.

      But then, after the laughter drains away, we'll be crying.

      ;D, alex mcleish? good manager for a mid table team, that's all, not for lfc my friends :) anyhow, if it's in the mirror, it's bound to be bullsh*t so it doesn't worry me at all.

      i read in the "lawnmower monthly" magazine that grame sounness was coming back....let the nightmares begin.

      McLeish is just after a better contract with Birmingham, his agent claims we're keeping a close eye on him to the press.

      Load of sh*te!

      Mcleish is a good manager dont get me wrong, but for a club like Liverpool there is no way anyone of his calibre should even be considered, even in our current affair's.
