I was in no way slagging him. I was merely saying that he has to share the blame. He messed up in the transfer markets and while we challenged he still made mistakes in the transfer market involving huge sums of money so can you honestly say he didn't contribute to the debts the club had? Just because he messed up in the transfer market while the ex-owners run the club to the ground doesn't mean he don't need to take blame for his mistakes in the transfer market.

The other players helped yes but you can't deny the fact that they should have done a lot better considering the money spent as well as them being selected by the manager. What I meant about the Gerrard point is that we relied heavily on him which I believe I did say in my initial post and considering their big money moves, Gerrard shouldn't have to be relied on as heavily. It was evident back then that when Gerrard wasn't playing, the team was just not good enough. So I'm trying to say that for the money spent maybe the players brought in should be the types that can cover for us even when Gerrard wasn't playing.

I wasn't in any way discrediting Rafa or trying to start an argument (which clearly some of you have taken it too seriously and failed to see another possibility of what might have happened). I'm merely saying to the general to stop publicly criticizing others. Hence, he have to share some of the blame. I'm not saying he has take all the blame but it is obvious that his mistakes in the transfer market did add to the debt of the club.

You and others took it as me slagging him off when I'm just saying to be a neutral cause we are not there when it happened. Don't take it too seriously, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I was just sharing my opinion as a fellow fan and I didn't in any way say that I was 100% correct. I don't have any hard feelings over the discussions we had and we're all fans so maybe I'm just one person giving a different point of view that you all can think about. You don't have to accept it (which is quite clear by now that you don't) but it doesn't mean that my comments were complete nonsense.

Just calm down alright, yes I can't prove it that he added to the debt but others won't be able to disprove that he didn't either. Simple as that, remain a neutral and just focus on the football of the present. You can say I'm hypocritical, you can say I'm not a true fan or whatever you wish but I was just sharing an opinion and yes it is open to scrutiny but maybe you should calm down and not judge me as a hypocrite? I'm not judging you by saying anything personal like "a hypocrite that I am".

The only reason I said what I said was because I've seen post from others talking about how Rafa would've done a better job if he was still here. We don't know that for sure. Try not to judge so quickly. This is a public forum like you said, so for you to tell me to not mention Rafa at all is unfair. It's public so I have just as much right to bring up a point as you do. I never told you to not mention a particular topic anymore.

Just calm down and leave this discussion as it is. All of us. It was 1 comment only, no need to start "slagging" me now. No hard feelings and move on. We had a difference in opinion, not a big deal right? Let's just agree to disagree lo.

I would love to see this kid Assaidi as well but he's not fit after recovering from injury. At the present moment, i dont see has a big part to play in Sunderland's game and also next up, we are facing Scum Utd. Too big a match for this lad. Dont want Rio Ferdinand to kick him and tell him "welcome to premier league" like what he did to Luis Garcia.

I love arrogant player. Arrogant = confident.
Look at the scum trio of Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo. All arrogant in their own way but successful.

Wayne Bridge, an English defender who sleeps with Vanessa Perroncel. John Terry, an English defender who also sleeps with Vanessa Perroncel.
So Wayne Bridge = John Terry? LOL

Kidding. 

I cant believe Margaret Thatcher also played a part in covering up the truth. God. What happened to good people?

It's ok, bro. Guy's sexiest age is 30 something. Still early 30s so it's cool.
1989 - the year Hillsborough happened. I was still a kid, i remember asking my dad what happened.

Dad: "Stadium crumbled and people died".
Me: How many people died?
Dad: Not sure. 80 or 90 (dad was sad upon hearing the news)
Me: Cannot be. If the whole stadium crumble, at least more than 10,000 will die.
(Dad looked at me disgusted. But then, I was just a kid trying to make a logic out of the situation. )

Then next year, I watched Red fans cried during King Kenny's last match. Sigh... ever since Hillsborough, we have been on the downhill.

I started at the end of Houllier's tenure, around 2004 i think, just before Rafa came in. I remember thinking, 'what's all this fuss about football' as I turned the telly to a Liverpool match. Then I saw this strange looking dude with reddish hair launch the ball in with a long throw. I would later learn he had a sweet left foot too. And that's how I started following the Reds, literally the first team I watched on telly...haha. On another note, my manager yesterday was surprised when I told him I supported Liverpool. He supports them too and said I'm too young to have known them in their prime...sadly I think a lot of people my age are either Chelsea, MU or MC fans.

The owners of the Boston Red Sox are mulling a potential sale of the storied baseball franchise, and have even begun quietly shopping the team to potential buyers, the FOX Business Network has learned.
The team is owned by the Fenway Sports Group, which also owns the English football team Liverpool FC. While no final decision has been made about a potential sale, and the talks appear to be in the early stages, executives at Fenway Sports are debating whether they have the financial resources to run both teams, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.
