The Reds falter further...

Not rubbing it into the faces of Liverpool fans but seriously... the team's not a lousy team. Lots of good, hardworking players and etc. Just that seriously, it's time to admit that Rafa has to go and check himself into a mental institute.



The Spaniard twat continues to deny that the club's off-field problems is affecting the team. Like DUH... if the company you work for, has shaky top management issues and with the chief executive walking away, do you think the organization has a stable foothold? Would you still continue to think your job is a mental rice bowl? How do you expect your players to play with a dark cloud of uncertainty looming above their heads? It's obvious that he's not a very good motivator and is clearly getting involved with matters beyond his required role in the club.

Those that don't understand why some of us are so passionate about soccer, clearly don't see the game beyond what it really is. It's not just about 22 men kicking a leather ball and winning trophies. It's a reality showcase of management and decision-making abilities, with the match itself being the acid test of one's managerial skills as well as the art of knowing your employees' strength and placing them in positions that they'll excel in. Thus there's actually 11 technical roles to oversee. It's actually quite enriching to access each season. Take Liverpool for instance. They were mighty and feared several moons ago. They lost the plot when the team was bought over by rich Americans who had no inclination of the game. Sounds familiar? Chelsea's another example. Happens to corporate companies too, doesn't it.

Just because you're the boss / owner, doesn't necessarily mean everything you say is RIGHT. I've worked for several jobs since I joined the workforce and 80% of the reason I resigned is because of blind management. Companies giving key positions to individuals based on relationship, bosses making executive decisions just because of hearsay from friends, management that think a pat on the back is good enough a staff incentive and the list goes on.

My definition of a boss? They're like diapers... always on your ass and usually full of shit.


Which reminds of an incident many years ago, when my ex-boss came up to me and said "my laptop is heating up exceptionally fast. Is it because of the firewall?"

I laughed so hard then that I almost drowned in my morning coffee.
