Am I the only one who is fucking excited again!

Excited isn't the right word, but I'm hopeful for the first time in a long time.

Ultimately everyone at the club needs fucking off, but this is a start and hopefully new owners will come before long.

Be it Hodgeson, Dalglish, Van Gaal, whoever, this club clearly needed new life breathing into it, and now we've got that opportunity.
 
What a shit thread.

Rafa might have made mistakes but surely he deserves some respect.

Who's showing disrespect?

It's a long drawn out saga finally coming to a close.

It's all about relief and looking forward to a new regime.
 
You have a strange way of showing relief. I can't imagine how you show excitement.

Now we are going to get some mid table manager, we've got a mid table budget, and unless we get new ownership, more likely than not, we'll end up...

Considering you've been one of his biggest supporters I find your composure remarkable, Raf.

Especially since some others on here seem to have gone over the edge.

I hope his replacement does a good job, if it indeed is the end.

If in the very possible event he doesnt, I hope those same parties dont gloat.

(I dont mean you, of course)

We all want what we think is best for the club.

FWIW, I do think he did his best.

It couldn't possibly more remarkable than 7 one line paragraphs.

ANyway, you only make posts concerning Rafa..so now that he's gone you're likely to fuck off and ride into the sunset.

So today hasnt been totally sad.

And, yes, I actually dont need a man since I'm married.

But I'll be sure to 'get a life', you sanctimonious devotee.

I hope you and your husband are very happy.

What on earth is there to be excited about?

We've lost more stability and continuity leaving us with none.

The essential problems with the club have not been addressed. New ownership, then if they want, a new manager. That's how this should have been done.

Now we are going to get some mid table manager, we've got a mid table budget, and unless we get new ownership, more likely than not, we'll end up...

A new manager, new ideas, new way of playing.. a new everything

Whats done is done mate, i don't see the point in booing about it.

We've just got to hope that the new mananger is up to the task now.
 
Once Kenny or a Football person is involved it should be a good decision, and not just the business heads...

If we replace him with someone worse, then what was the point?

Well we've spent £6m to get shot of Rafa mate, so you'd hope that they've got somebody decent lined up already.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but i can't help but think that something is going on with regards to the ownership, or H&G really are going to invest in the team this summer. If this isn't the case then i simply don't get why they'd spunk that amount of cash on getting rid of him, only to leave the new manager without a pot to piss in.

or the money is coming from selling torres and gerrard.
 
Not a lot of managers would do worse than last season with the same squad.
It was the right move at the right time.

Out of all of the names being mentioned, he's one of my least favourite options.

If we end up paying £6m to get rid of Rafa + a few mil in compensation to end up with MON, i think i'll join you in booing.
 
[quote author=Judge Jules link=topic=40463.msg1112769#msg1112769 date=1275593215]
I'm hoping the compensation payment we'd have to make will prevent this from happening.

He's only got a 12 month contract though JJ.

I can see the logic of paying off the current Manager to the tune of 6m and then teaming a banker with the club's ambassador to look for 'potential candidates' as the obvious timely move; in a world cup year when everyone's attention is diverted and the club is up for sale and there's no money left...

Let's hope the bigger issue of ownership and finance have been sorted before this announcement or it's going to look like a farce in the coming weeks and months.
 
[quote author=Sheik Yerbouti link=topic=40463.msg1112774#msg1112774 date=1275593314]
If he's so shit, why would we have to fork out a load of compensation?
[/quote]

Because he's still under contract to Villa (albeit a short-term one as Rafa4 says), they don't think he's shit, and they may need the money if Lerner's tightening of the transfer purse-strings is anything to go by [he says hopefully]. I'm also banking on the fact that the compo payable wouldn't need to be that exorbitant to put us off, given our current financial position.
 
I'm just glad he's gone. His time was done, his methods don't work in the long term. His philosophy and football is complete nonsensical and watching a number of people try to defend things all season long that were blatantly ridiculous made me hate the site and hate those who were defending the indefensible.

We need somebody who'll do the basics of the job, motivate players, pick players on form and all those things that "lesser" managers than Rafa have managed to get right.

I'm not excited, but for the first time in a long time I'm actually hopeful.
