KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Benitez Comments against Hodgeson

raffa said to about hodgson "some people cant see a priest standing on a mountain of sugar".

Agreed.

They both just need to shut up and get on with their jobs ..

Need to fkin concentrate on LFC at the mo because it really isnt going well and rafa should shut up for the sake of Inter milan.

Its not nice for their fans having your new manager constantly talk about his old club .. How about focusing on the job at hand and stop worrying about past lives ..

i dont know, but im sure raffa thought it was clever.

When Rafa responded to Roy, he also said: "...some people cannot see a priest on a mountain of sugar...". Confused? Well what Rafa is trying to say is that the truth was staring Hodgson in the face. In other words, the priest's black robes can be spotted against the white of the mountain of sugar. Rafa is basically saying, 'stop concentrating on me, stop blaming others, concentrate on getting your team up the league'. Rafa knows best.

I think Rafa is saying that Roy shouldnt try hide what a mess he is making of the Liverpool job by blaming others as its as plain as day to everyone what a poor job he is doing (like a priests black robes on the white sugar.) Probably thinks Woy is trying to deflect all of the criticism away from the awful job he is making of managing Liverpool by blaming him.

i aint veri happy with ROY

he should be shooting fergie the red nose.. and not RB!


he is in cahoots with fergi!

The 'priest on a mountain of sugar' means a person who cannot see the blindingly obvious. A priest traditionally wears black and would therefore stand out on top of a mountain of white sugar.

In my opinion, I think this whole business with Hodgson goes to prove what I have felt from the moment he was appointed; this club is too big for him !

The start has been a complete and inexcusable shocker and the thought of Liverpool being in a negative goal difference, at this stage (although not long into the league) is absolutely not acceptable.

His purchases have been laughable and the players that are rumoured are also pathetic.

He seems to have no concept of the feeling we fans have towards the scum, and I can see that whiskey nosed F@@kpig walking all over him.

So just shut up Roy about the rubbish you have inherited, we know all about them, as we had to watch them last season drag the club to a new low.

As for Benitez, I lost confidence in him a long time before he departed because of the bad purchases, and shocking style of football he brought to the hallowed ground.

He did have success though, but Istanbul was a largely Houlier team and that can’t be denied.

I don’t know what the future will bring, I am sad to say that the NESV takeover sounds like frying pan and fire. Truth is that the future for any once great football club has to lay in the egos of money men from the east. The sooner we get ours the better. In the meantime, for the love of god Liverpool, go get O'Neill, before somebody else does.

Hi Emp
the sugar priest thing is a spanish proverb.similar to the english proverb ' you cannot see the wood for the trees'. Rafa rightly points out that there are 13 top internationals yet Roy indicates he has nothing to work with, hence Rafa states 'cannot see the wood from the trees'

A very accurate assesment in my eyes.

Further proof that Hodgeson doesnt know what he is talking about can be seen with his comments about Agger:-
----------------------------------------
Last week when he was making a little dig at Dan
"After being injured, Agger is now sick, so he has ruled himself out.”

And today he comes out with with the fact that Dan has been out with a calf injury since September 25 and that he still has a serious problem with it:-
"Daniel Agger has quite a serious problem with his calf," explained Hodgson. "It's a question of time and there's not so much more the physios and medical staff can do. We have to be patient”
----------------------------------------
The guy is a mess. Very very worrying that our club is in this delusional mans hands. He cant even keep up with the random drivel he is spewing.
