Better performance, great result. I think we deserved to win but in all honesty Bolton weren't really threatening.Comment

If you had, you would've surely noticed the following, no?
Are you now going to try and suggest that that isn't a contradiction of sorts?Originally posted by The Independent
Rubbish article.Comment

The article quotes two different papers. La Republica is saying that the contract is ready to go, just waiting the final ok from lawyers.
Either way, it indicates that talks are pretty advanced.Comment

I think Benitez will probably go. He left Valencia due to disagreements very similar to what is happening at Liverpool.
I wonder if they have someone lined up to take over. No Hiddink and no Klinsmann is a definite for me. Would be interesting to see who else was put in the frame.Comment

Looking at Juventus they don't look in any great shape either. They also need a new stadium and have some financial problems.Comment

Rafa released a statement refuting all claims of a deal with Juve, he wont be talking to them or any other club either.
That clears that one up then.Comment

I guess at this stage of the season - and the way Liverpool are playing - would a soild fourth place be 'good enough' after our (very) poor start?
A third place chase would be nice but Arsenal are playing good tidy football at the moment and I can't see them slipping too much. For me, a fourth place finish would be good even though that is not good enough for some.Comment

I think if we get fourth this season then next season we don't amount to anything again, it's the end of the line for the manager. No arguments there, but realistically we aren't in the same revenue/spending power league as Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U and now Man City..
I guess fourth / fifth place finishes are no more than our power deserves.Comment

Christian Purslow has this week confirmed that Rafa no longer has a transfer budget and all purchases must be funded by player sales. All profit from day to day club activities will be used to pay down the debt.
Not only are we well behind the top teams in terms of spending power we are now some way behind the likes of Villa, Birmingham etc. If this doesn't improve by the summer 4th place will become a massive over-achievement for any manager at the club.Comment

Where was that sharkskin? I've looked around and not seen anything reported anywhere.
Tomorrow's game is concerning, Everton improving their form and looking to carry on. I'm hoping for a win by any means.Comment

If that's true then we'll do well to keep hold of the manager considering what he's achieved since day one. I guess it was to be expected that we couldn't really compete.Originally posted by SharkSkin-Man View PostComment

This is how it was worded.
"The nature of funding the player account is it must balance, no more can go out than has come in. If we have ?30 million in the account, then we can only spend ?30 million. The player account is funded by player sales and any profit. Presently profit goes primarily towards paying the debt..."
He also states that the money from this player account is also used for contract extensions and agent's costs, so these things are also now funded by player sales - which at least explains where the remainder of the fee received for Xabi Alonso has gone.Comment

Hmm, I remember skimming over that. Looks like Liverpool are in big trouble then :/
Dont much fancy our chances of progressing from the team we have now.Comment
