Hi eds, and all fellow fans

not been on for a while.
just heard that the board meeting held on Friday, was to discuss the fallen 1s post, voted 3 to 1 to keep him in his position until January 17, voted for him to stay was BK, JW, RE, Alexander Ryazantsev voting to remove him under Farhed orders. any truth in this

Thank.

{Ed002's Note - No. It sounds like the sort of nonsense that people put on Twitter for the extremely gullible fans. Board meetings do not sit and vote like it was considering someones membership at a golf club.}

If, as reported, Mr Moshiri will increase his shareholding to become the majority (over 50%) shareholder - while BK (and maybe JW) not only reduce their shareholding, but also have less day-to-day involvement with the club and perhaps even cease to be directors - then why would the board retain any staff that are not favoured by Mr Moshiri and his associates? Besides, if there is a preferred replacement for manager - who would surely be someone in demand if he became available - then why would the club risk missing out?
It's all just rumour, speculation, guesswork and craic that's fuelled by social media and encouraged by broadcast/ press media. Only those at the top of the club - and any experts they're consulting - would have an inkling and I would expect all those involved to keep matters in confidence until the club is ready to state was has been agreed to take the club toward on all fronts, both on and off the field.
It's frustrating - and sometimes enraging - that we fans don't "know" what's happening, but on balance I prefer the club - and any experts/ consultants it's using - to be acting professionally and diligently and keeping their mouths shut rather than acting in a cavalier fashion and casually leaking stories to the media.
Am I being too understanding and accepting?

There is no evidence that Mr Martinez is leaving the Club in fact the opposite is true. All that has happened is that the media have (as usual) been playing with their abacus and gathered 2 and 2 make 5. Martinez would have to be thick or naive to conduct his interview with Carragher in the manner he did, if he had knowledge of his Managerial demise.
