Rafa axed to make way for new LFC owner
05 June 2010
Earlier this week I wrote about how depressed I was as a result of all the misery at Liverpool Football Club. Well I'm glad I didn't throw myself under a train because right now I feel the complete opposite. I am in a state of absolute ecstasy.
I cannot go into specific details but I know there are a lot of Reds out there who appreciate my views and updates and it is those Reds that I want to make happy with this brief update.
It's been a busy week and it's now starting to make complete sense to me. Rafa's sacking came from nowhere. They could have axed him weeks ago and I'm convinced he thought he was staying. I accept he was willing to walk but he didn't think they'd have the guts to pull the trigger because of the financial implications. There isn't just Rafa's pay-off to consider, bear that in mind.
I believe that Rafa WAS removed from his position at Anfield so that the new owner (not owners) of Liverpool Football Club could come in with a clean slate.
We've been here a million times before but every deal hangs on whether or not Tom Hicks and George Gillett will accept what has been offered to them. But this time they're listening to what has been put on the table.
I am led to believe that an agreement on a complete takeover is very close with Liverpool officials (not the owners) hoping that the deal can be secured in the next 5 weeks so that the club's best players remain with the club. So great would be the financial injection into the club that they would be insane to leave.
Because the future of the club is at stake here I can not go into specifics. But what I will say is it is not DIC. It's not Dubai. It's not China either. But it is the Middle East. The use of the word 'antelope' will crop up from myself in the future once it becomes public knowledge, but before you go there, it's not related to Qatar airlines who have an Oryx as their logo. Yes I know the Oryx is an antelope, just stay clear of that one.
The cavalry is coming, that's all you need to know. And providing Hicks and Gillett don't **** this up, it will be massive. It will certainly change who will consider taking the Liverpool manager's job.
Now of course I'm going to be discussing this further on our members website and answering questions from our members but don't join purely because of this editorial because anything else I will say will also be very vague. This editorial isn't a teaser for our VIP website although of course I'm discussing it on there. I just wanted to get this news out to our non-members also.
Whether you have faith in me or not, I'm a very, very happy man tonight.
