If he's going to leave for Juve, I'd rather he didn't resign in the hope that Juve cough up some compensation (unlikely as that may be). Rafa would do well there I think.
Whether he stays or goes, I'm concerned for next season. We need serious investment come the summer and the cash doesn't appear to be there.

I think Juve would be a good fit for him and I'd wish him well there. I think new scenery will suit him just as I think our club needs fresh ideas.

Yep. Win-win. Do it, Rafa.

Yes, I think he could be quite suited to Italian football. More so then the Premiership anyway.
And he's better than the last few fucking clowns that have managed Juve.
Plus he will be reunited with Sissoko and can finally create his dream Central Midfield of Lucarse and Brains.
And how Serie A will quake
Seriously, can you imagine that scenario? Benitez walks, we pay no compo, he takes with him Lucarse, Insua, Maxi, Eggnog et al and Mourinho joins this summer with £100m to spend.
*dream on Brendan. Dream on*

If you were taking a punt on it (not what you'd like), where do you think Rafa will be next season?
Juve
Real
LFC

I'd be amazed if working under the Americans would appeal to Jose. He'd only come in if there a possible takeover had been agreed and was promised the decent chunk of cash we need.
However I have more faith in the Americans making the decision than others. It's easy to put too much emphasis on the Klinsman debacle, however he was only sounded out when Rafa was looking to leave instantly and they had to consider their options abruptly. Plus he was their mate. It was ill-conceived but understandable.
This time have plenty of time to consider their options and hopefully come to a decent decision. I suspect they'll use the opinions of Dalglish and Purslow, too, who should safe-guard us from the shitcunt managers out there.

I want Montse and the girls to stay though. They must be fed up with him too by now.

I think the Klinsman thing is very muddy water too. I think Klinsman made more out of it than just a tentative inquiry/advice to get himself the Bayern job.
Ha, ha, @Doctor Mac's post............

Does Purslow speak any other foreign languages apart from Spanish?
BTW, any chance Del Bosque might quit Spain if they win the World Cup?

even in your dreams, £100m for that deadwood looks wildly ambitious.

I suspect the £100 mill.would be extra to any money that lot might bring in (which might just about reach £10 mill.IMO).

I doubt it was meant to be that focused. I think it was another part of the overall dream in which Brendan was indulging.
If you're gonna dream, might as well dream big.
