Redray

Ha ha. First thing to make me smile in weeks that.

Well he should have remembered Paisley et all regardless. It's his own fault he was born at a young age.

Why is it a problem for you if it his opinion that Rafa is the best manager here in his lifetime? At least allow him the freedom of his own thought. The autocracy on here is amazing.

What do Texas Rangers and Corinthians have in common whilst Hicks was at their helm? This baffles. If it is correct that Rafa came out and backed Kenny then this does worry me for obvious reasons.

There you have it. Thought it might happen but King Kenny is not getting it. The dreaded vote of approval from the ousted man. How low can we go? You would be surprised.

Sound points. But I still say he is a mouthpiece. We are conducting our public relations in a manner not befitting of this club. What the hell. That ship has long since sailed away.

No he's not. He is Purslow's mouthpiece. The very same w*** who feeds him morsels to deflect from his own failings. Remember Maddock claiming we spent 20 million odd net on transfers last summer? The w*** knows we made a profit. Purslows constant leaking of his s**** to the media for whatever agenda he decides upon on a given day is driving me to f***ing madness.

You are saying he is the one keeping us in the public eye?

f*** off Maddock

Coleman. 'kaka has lost it.'

Hahahahaha! Great we won't have to listen to this bag of s**** anymore. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment_and_arts/10322048.stm Robbie Earle sacked over World Cup tickets ITV World Cup pundit Robbie Earle has been sacked by the broadcaster after tickets for his family and friends were passed on to a third party. ITV said a "substantial number" of tickets for the Denmark v Holland match on Monday had been passed on, breaching Fifa rules. It has been claimed a block of tickets were used by a Dutch company for an "ambush marketing effort". A spokesperson for Earle said a statement would be released shortly. "Following claims by FIFA that official 2010 World Cup tickets may have been used for ambush marketing, ITV has reviewed its entire ticket allocation for the tournament," the TV network said in a statement. "Immediate investigations indicated that a block of ITV tickets would appear to have been used for unauthorised purposes during the Holland v Denmark match. "Further enquiries have revealed that a substantial number of tickets allocated to Robbie Earle for family and friends have been passed to a third party in breach of FIFA rules. "As a result, Robbie Earle's contract with ITV has been terminated with immediate effect." The announcement comes after officials ejected 36 women who were wearing orange mini-dresses during Holland's game against Denmark. The women were accused of "ambush marketing" for a brand of beer. Members of the group, accused of promoting a brand that is not one of the tournament's official sponsors, were found with tickets understood to have been part of Earle's allocation. The tickets' terms and conditions stipulate they must not be passed on or sold to anyone else. Earle, 45, an ambassador for England's 2018 World Cup bid, played for Wimbledon and Port Vale as well as for Jamaica in the 1998 World Cup.

What a s*** world cup this is.

Still doesn't look right. Give us our manager back you f***ing b******s.

Sky's Vinnie O'Connor: "I bet you thought you got rid of me Rafa, can we have a question in English?" Rafa (with raised eyebrows) "What, can't you do it in Italian?" "Really diffcult to leave Liverpool. Not easy, the fans have been amazing to me. The situation changed, which is why I'm here. I've been in contact with a lot of the players. Majority of the players have thanked me for what I done and wished me luck, and I did the same for them". "The owners are the owners, but I'm here now". When asked about players wanting him out. He said, "I've spoken to 95% of the players and they were positive, but of course, there will always be others that are happy that I've gone". Can't think who he could mean.

Yossi's one seems to have been another 'matter for the board'. Maybe someone had a word in his ear that it would take three years to sort the mess out and he would be better of elsewhere or at Chelsea.

Ironic. Barrett is telling it like it is.

But you have the same initials as him. Can you explain that incredible coincidence?

Yes, it's difficult to see where all this negativity is coming from. Doesn't reflect the actual situation we are in one iota.

Don't knock this 'Lean & Mean' approach to squad compilation. I'm sure it will work a treat.

Positive vibes.

So your suggestion that all put this episode behind them and move on obviously doesn't include him?

LANDED Rafa Benitez: "Guiding Inter is one thing that excites me." Tomorrow the presentation of the Spanish technician, who does not seem to weigh the inheritance of Mou. Milan - Rafael Benitez has finally landed in Milan. The 58th coach in the history of Inter landed at Linate airport at 17:38 with a private flight. He was accompanied by his wife Maria de Monserrat, with whom he arrived shortly after 18:00 at a hotel downtown where they will reside in order to find a house. Italian and firmness Smiling, in a shirt and jeans, a bag with his faithful PC in hand, Rafa was given a taste of Italian, but also with firmness. "I will speak on Tuesday in the press conference. First impressions? The flight was very good," he said as he was leaving the airport. "I am very happy to be the new coach of Inter. Am I concerned that I take a job of a team that just won everything? No. In fact, I am very happy for the success of the Nerazzurri." He and his wife in the evening dined at a restaurant. His friend, Amedeo Carboni, was expected but the new technical adviser of Inter until late at night was not seen. Route to the market So today, Benitez will meet with the leaders of Inter to lay down the foundations of their work. "The transfer market? I'll talk with the team" was his only words regarding this issue before disappearing in the lobby. This transfer campaign, as confirmed by the same Moratti in recent days, will begin with a sell of an excellent player. The financial fair play wanted by the UEFA president Platini lies and follies of the past will not be replicated. In mid-week, a meeting is scheduled with Real Madrid and Florentino Perez to discuss Maicon and Milito, but for each Inter call for 35 million. Same for Samuel Eto'o. Outgoing money includes the 16 million for Mourinho, 7.3 million from Quaresma, who has yet to say yes to Besiktas, and possibly with the sale of Muntari to England or Genoa. Landed yesterday - Only smiles to the journalists and cameras: New Inter coach, the Spaniard Rafa Benitez, was just landed at Linate (private airport), while his driver was placed at his disposal by the Inter Club to bring his luggage to the car.Immediately, triggered the onslaught of the reporters and cameras, Rafa Benitez appeared amused, he gave many smiles to reporters but was a little beaten. Then, he said goodbye and quickly tried to reach for the car from Inter.One he passed the journalists, the 50 year-old technician sat in his car (next to him was his wife) and left for Principe di Savia, the hotel where he will spend his early days in Milan.Ranocchia and Mascherano For the defense, which has an average age surpassing 30, is Ranocchia (but he will remain at Bari for at least a half of a season to regain match fitness after serious knee injury), however the big investment will be made for the midfield. The number one on Rafa's list is Javier Mascherano. He will be costly however. For the Argentina captain, Liverpool are asking for 30 million. On Saturday, after the victory against Nigeria, Mascherano said: "Italian? I'm studying it here in South Africa but I don't know what I will do later. We'll see."
