Here's a link to an ESPN story hinting that we might be selling Suarez:

I usually take what the Daily Mirror says with a boulder-sized grain of salt, but this one has a whiff of truth about it. I think it's clear that the owners are not happy with what has gone on - particularly because we haven't exactly been setting the league alight from a football perspective either. You can say that you don't care about our reputation and that's your opinion but I don't want us to become another Millwall. Like it or not, we're a global club with a global fanbase, and reputation is important in securing sponsorship and advertising money. If you like seeing us actually spend money on players, then you ought to care about our reputation. Personally, I don't want to see Suarez sold because I think he's our best player by some distance, but he needs a serious attitude adjustment, otherwise we're looking at a player who will be suspended for a handful of games every season. His behavior is not acceptable for this club and I hope Ian Ayre has made that fact crystal clear for him.

I did suggest there could be an issue here yesterday, lets hop it isnt true if it is, again if we handled the affair better we wouldnt still be talking about this issue

It could be the end of him and Kenny too. He hasn't handled this that well either.

I hope we keep him and things turn in our favour. It would be a shame to sell another top class player especially as he, along with Enrique, is the only one worth keeping out of the players bought by KD and FSG.

Ah yes,more mischief making from our friends at the mirror,Fergie said we should sell him,must be true so.

Fergie does run English football lets not forget.

the foresight! how do u do it?

Will show how weak we are if we sell him now.

Football is full off characters. And the one's who have a little bit of edge around them, that fire in the belly - they're often one's who have something special. The trick is how to allow the talent to come through and control the behaviour within certains boundaries. Every now and the the boundaries will be crossed at which the player should be managed but also protected appropriately.

Did United sell Cantona, Keane, Rooney or even Tevez ever let alone at the first sign of trouble?

To sell now will be a severe indictment of the owners and the management. Their job in the interests of the club is how to turn the situation around and get the best out of Suarez. The problem they have is that their decisions regarding the rest of the squad have been so bad that Suarez himself might say good riddance to LFC and the EPL rather than the other way round.

I don't think we'll sell him, but could certainly understand the owners and sponsors becoming hot under the collar about a media fiasco caused by him breaking a promise to the club. I think he's on thin ice, but he can deal with that by becoming the player that helps take us to the next level.

Like Captain Jack Sparrow said, life's made up of things you can do, and things you can't do. We CAN sell him. But we CAN'T qualify for 4th on the strength of the squad without him. If he makes himself indispensable then all will be forgiven, and he can only do that by delivering on the pitch and otherwise keeping his name out the paper.

YNWA, but it's up to him now.

agree, but he's in a powerful position. He knows he's our best player by a country mile. He also strongly believes that he's been treated unfairly and the victim of rough justice, and that's putting it mildly. Why should he stick around? He could put in a transfer request tomorrow knowing that Real Madrid or Barcelona might be happy to take him. I wouldn't even put it past Fergie to try and take him somewhere down the line.

The problem is partly due to the owners and management themselves. They have failed to add to the squad with quality similar to that of Suarez, and this may have clouded how they dealt with the situation. And now they risk losing the best player, have little chance of 4th even if he sticks around and they have very little room for manoeuvre.

A real bloody mess all this, Whether we believe the papers or not if the owners do tell Kenny to sell Suarez then I think Kenny will leave of his own accord,that's if they don't don't do away with him first after all this trouble. I will watch how it goes over the next few months but i'm not optimistic right now but i'm war wary at the moment.
