    Default Rafa Explained

    This was sent to me by someone I wouldnt doubt......... as with all stories make of it what you will.




    Some lad I know who has good contacts within LFC (and is by no means a bullsh*tter) met one of the directors after the match on Wednesday who was once a business partner of his dad. Anyway this director told him that the misunderstanding was down to Rick Parry. Apparently Rafa was instructed to conduct his transfer activities through Rick Parry, then Parry would inform the owners then get the ball rolling after he'd had the ok.

    So, as instructed, Rafa told Parry he wanted to bring in three players next year, one free, one cheap and one on a Bosman. He also planned to sell one player for a fee greater than the player he wanted to sign so the club would have actually made money.
    Here is where the problem occurred.....Parry failed to inform the Americans of Rafa's plans.

    Anyway Rafa waited and waited but obviously never got a response from the owners so he phoned them just before that infamous press conference last week. The Yanks told Rafa to do one and conduct his activities through Parry and in the meantime concentrate on coaching his own players (hence the repetitive statements at the press conference).

    Here's the scary part, Rafa wore that tracky at Newcastle as a final dig at the owners, then handed his resignation to Parry on Sunday. Realising what he had done wrong, Parry confessed to Benitez that he had failed to inform the owners, and Benitez immidiately withdrew his resignation. The level of comparitive peace now at Anfield is due to Parry informing the Americans that the misunderstanding was all down to him. The owners are still said to be seething at how Rafa handled it in public but accept that it was down to Parry's ineptitude.

    Cheers

    I think 'Rafa' is having some kind of breakdown. His 'I remain Focussed on coaching and training my players' about 10 times was hilarious and childish at the same time. Although his results are pretty good at the moment, he is a complete laughing stock to other managers and fans for his off the field sulking antics.

    Thanks Baron, an interesting read.

    Personally I think it is some sort of smokescreen as we are playing well at the moment. As for what is it a smokescreen for - who knows.

    Yeah I would say that Rafa is a sulky fcuker...just like the majority of footie fans...kopites and yourself the exception, obviously

    You obviously haven't seen any of the interviews recently either.

    I said Rafa is sulking...and that Liverpool fans and yourself hadn't recognised that...if you'd have seen the interviews you'd know what I was on about

    I read Allardyce's comments about 'Rafa' in the Mirror last week, he basically called him a twat who couldn't take losing like a man...I also know what the likes of Moyes, Wenger, Ferguson, Mourinho think about him i.e. sore loser, ungracious at all times...isn't this what the thread is about...Rafa being a sulk and making it public knowledge? I fail to see how anyone can feel sorry for him given the amount of money he's spent

    who says he wants you to feel sorry for him?

    Or is this more of your insider knowledge?

    Can you substantiate your claims that 'you know' what Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger (could not give a flying fuck about Moyes) think about Rafa? Or is this a normal bullshit claim made by yourself?
