... I want FSG to see how stupid they were to overlook a man who was available (no compensation), living in the area, who knew the club inside out and would have taken the job without reading the contract... Perhaps FSG feared that Rafa would expose them like he did H&G and Purslow. BR is a young, up and coming manager, still learning his trade it seems, and therefore unlikely to confront the owners even when he's been seriously insulted. Can you imagine the fuss Rafa would've made had he been the one who wasn't backed with £6m to sign an expereienced striker after letting Carroll go on loan? I think we'd have heard about it every week when challenged about our failure to score goals. (remember when he did that press conference where he gave nearly the same answer to every question - http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/spor...64375-20148765/  ) FSG would probably have been publiclly slated by Rafa. Unfortunately, BR doesn't have the authority or the gumption to do that at the moment. To be fair to BR, he may know more about the situation and may have decided that it's not in the interests of the club to rock the boat too much.

I remember that press conference! Rafa had spoken out the week before and Hicks or Gillett had told him that he needs to stop talking about just concentrate on coaching and training the team.

I agree with you, that was one of the main criteria when FSG made their choice, the manager should not be one that would speak his mind, therefore they needed somebody with low profile.

Actually, FSG's decision on a new manager was made for them because everyone else pulled out! BR got the job by default.

You have absolutely no backup for that statement - just your usual conjecture. I notice the same people that rush to gang up on Faz are the same people always whinging about being allowed to speak their mind on other threads. And Bar... what is your obsession with him? Everything you post these days is a dig at Faz! Do you have backup for that statement....?
