btw...the names kev..and its good to be back...

well then welcome back kev. i dont know what it used to be like on here (i use to have a commodore 64 :)) but you can basically expect most threads to descend into either chaos or handbags after about 6 posts.

so not to much has changed eh?

good to hear. i thought we were draggin the place down.

sounds like a lot will be decided next week. personally i hope he joins juve asap

I think he is going to stay, i think this article is misleading to teh extent it comes across as though rafa will confirm his resignation next week. While in fact i think news on the sale will be out next week. This is teh way i read this situation.

A ideal match to owning the club will be 50-50 china and arabs.

Juventus Ready To Close Deal For Liverpool Coach Rafael Benitez - Report

Juventus president Jean-Claude Blanc will fly out to Liverpool next week to close a deal for Rafael Benitez, who has informed the Italians that there are no problems relating to his future arrival in Turin, according to Sky Sport 24.

They report Juve's strategy as being a clear and concise one. First, Blanc will wrap up the transfer for Benitez after agreeing a deal, then he will head to Genoa and seal an agreement with Sampdoria sporting director Giuseppe Marotta. Blucerchiati president Riccardo Garrone has already given the Italian the all-clear to join Juve.

Marotta will then approve budgets and transfers strategies for Benitez to use in the summer.

The Spanish coach will earn €4 million per annum wages, with an extra €1m to spend on his backroom staff as he intends to select his own team of assistants.

Juventus are now trying to negotiate with Liverpool to help the Spaniard climb out of his 2014 contract. Reports have suggested it will take €16m to release Benitez from Anfield, but the Old Lady is hopeful of doing it for half that amount.

Blanc will now head to Anfield and speak directly with Liverpool so all parties can reach an agreement that satisfies needs and ensures there are no further obstacles.

yep. i don't believe in any of these reports. but i still hope there will be a change at the manager post this summer (but as it looks he will probably stay)

My gut feel says Rafa will stay and Jose will end up at Real.

jose is waiting for sir alex to make way. i think all us LFC fans should forget Jose, he is not a long term manager, after few years he gets the itch.

according to the post swede put up earlier in the week, it would appear that the chinese want rafa to stay if they invest.
