This reads to me as follows When the Chelsea also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated, and the remaining Europa League qualifiers are moved up one place, Tottenham and Liverpool, with the final place (with the earliest starting round) taken by Liverpool, provided they do not already qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League. Otherwise, this place is taken by the highest-placed league finishers that have not yet qualified for the Europa League - Newcastle So the order is Tottenham - group, Liverpool playoff, Newcastle 3rd round.

It's Hughton by the way. Anyway it's an aside, if Rafa gets the job I'll take a bet with you that he can survive a season, I see no reason for the old adage to go unrewarded and the HJC to benefit. We can talk amounts then. He took them from 2nd to 11th as well.

Not a great one when discussing what one looks for in a director of communications.

I'm going out with the lads tomorrow night, I don't get out much, what a night it would be if Rafa came back, you know what it would take the edge off a Chelsea win I wouldn't actully give a f***. A Rafa Munich double and I'd explode with happiness.

We interviewed a range of candidates and have decided Rafa is our man. We thank Mr Martinez, Guardiola, Villas Boas and Klopp for making themselves available for this process.

Hopefully there wont be any scandal to manage. As far as I'm aware Liverpool's history is not flush with race rows.

Just don't, please, got goosebumps just thinking about it. Rafa back, too good to be true.

Crickey, so we now have a massively pro Rafa communications director. Seriously WTF is going on. This is mental.

It makes no sense to judge a managers financial contrainst based on his activity in one window. Which is I presume why we are looking at the numbers?

It isn't it's basic maths.

You can't take net spend in one summer in isolation, it makes no sense.

That photo is the screensaver on the laptop

Didn't they sell Charels NZogbia for 11.5m?

Surely, what have they done to lose it is the more pertinent question, or did they never have it?

I also think this is why they are speaking to Martinez, Rafa recommended him to Swansea apparently, if he isn't being considered and was asked his opinion he may well put Martinez in as manager he feels can work well with a DOF.

Maybe Cruyff?

I'm well happy with it, if you know f*** all about something, it hard to judge whether someone is bulls***ting you are not, so interview 5-6 people and you can better judge the merits against each other. All this process has told us is Whelan is a loud mouthed c**k and Rogers doesn't think he will get the job.
