Richard Hughes

[New Old Cherry]

So you think he's a, "shagarama baby" (Austin Powers). Good luck with that.

??? Over my old head !!!

"When Liverpool’s new sporting director Richard Hughes received a phone call from the agent Inaki Ibanez this week, it only served to confirm what he had long since expected: Xabi Alonso would be staying at Bayer Leverkusen this summer."

If this report from The Athletic today is true, WTF is an AFC Bournemouth employee doing working for another club?

Yeah I get what you are saying but I think Inaki Ibanez is also AI’s agent

I’ve been telling you for years him and Blake have the morals of alley cats….

He resigned ages ago… should have been put on garden leave and a large fee demanded like Newcastle did with Ashworth…

No though, keep greasing the palms…

I think it's serious that an employee of a PL club is also acting for another.
We need clarification on this. Imagine a player or manager acting in the best interests of another team other than the one they were contracted to?

Serious questions would have to be asked if there is any transfer activity between the two clubs in the near future .

Very easy for him to tap up our players.

I've messaged The Athletic's correspondent who wrote the story.

There were many deals before between Edwards and Hughes… makes you wonder. He certainly saw him coming on Ibe and Smith..:

But Neil, you think he’s crap so why does it matter?

Happy Easter Neil and I hope spiritual deliverance on your Hughes religion eases your soul.

Red meat for Neil this

Because it means we are not a rollover. So yes while I’m happy for him to be finding them the next Traore if there was money to be had for us we should have grabbed it.

I'm not a betting man, so can anyone tell me how I can place a bet on Zabs becoming a Liverpool player within 3 years?

Another great Hughes signing. As long as the fee's decent who cares.

Still we get reminded of two signings 8 years back....yes 8 years ffs.

Thats because we were talking about his relationship with Edwards who we signed them off. If you want more recent examples of wasted money/big wages there’s plenty starting with the three keepers and moving up the pitch…

It was a serious question r h as I would like to make some money on it happening!

Walk into or phone up a bookies and ask them to quote you the odds!

Neil. You're still trying to prove a point with 35 regular posters, two nutters and a dog (probably).

Clearly if you want to be good at what Hughes does its probably best to have these sort of relationships, that's how the world goes around and things happen. We had a couple of duds - who cares, clearly Eddie, Max and Bill Foley didn't.

 

[purbeck67]

There's a serious point here if Hughes has already acted in any capacity for Liverpool. Let's not regurgitate every old argument. This needs to be addressed by the club.
