Betting suspended on him leaving, gone by sunday apparently...
Do you know why these rumours have started? Probably just because of the contract talks palava, people putting two and two together. Someones probably seen him chatting to the Real president last night and spread the word! Dalgleish 3/1 fave, not having that!! It's because he's ignored the deadline with regards to his contract talks (and is instead focusing on the games coming up). So, how much truth there is in the rumours is dependent on his reasons (and/or the club's) for not meeting this deadline. Is he just focusing on the task at hand, or is there more to it than that? |

By all accounts within Anfield this is total bollocks. My guess is he'll sign a new contract within the next week.

His interview on Spanish TV was fairly conclusive in terms of him staying.

Wonder how Rick Parry leaving will affect things.

Rafa gets total control and signs his contract. Stops signing players for 20mil and selling them 6 months later just to prove a point that the he should have been able to sign the midfielder he really wanted.

It depends what it means in terms of Hicks and Gillet as well. All interesting stuff, but it looks like the rumour mongerers got the wrong man! |

Rafa didn't sign Keane. |

Rafa didn't want Keane but signed him anyway. CYP - It's a change not certain it's a fix I don't know that for sure and can only speculate but alot of managers seem to only sign good players and another person in the makes the signings that don't work out. Parry probably signed Dossena, Babel and Voronin too. |

This is one of the reasons the contract negotiations have gone on for as long as they have. Rafa does not sign players at Liverpool. |

This is one of the reasons the contract negotiations have gone on for as long as they have. Rafa does not sign players at Liverpool. That's not strictly true. Rafa wanted Barry as a priority and Keane was his second choice for the summer but no one was to be signed before Barry. If the budget was not big enough for both then Keane wouldn't have happened in Rafa's eyes. Negotiations with Villa went on so long the board bought Keane in the interim (knowing the fans would love the signing after leaking the rumour) then told Rafa they couldn't afford Barry who only had one year left on his contract. As you can imagine this pissed Rafa off no end - probably even more so now that it looks as though Vila will break the top 4 and Barry will stay. Rafa basically draws up his list in order and leaves it to Parry to sort out the prices/contracts etc. Thank the lawd Parry is off. He was very clever at imposing his own will on things. But make no mistake, Keane was on the list. |
