Rafa lacks Emotional Intelligence....

Premier League Liverpool, Man utd,Everton, Chelsea
by TheSuaveOne (U7313729) 27 November 2007
comment on the article

Its obvious that the man is very intelligent, atleast at the cognitive level but he seems to come short where emotional intellegence is concerned.He made me cringe last week when he tried to play politics with the media, so inept was he that you could tell he was digging himself a grave he might not get out of.He seems unable to play the media let alone office politics.He also seems to struggle with social bonds involving players.He rather reminds me of the a sufferer of asperger syndrome, all tactical, methematical and calculative, but out of depth when it comes to anything that doesn't involves formulas but calls for emotions and self expression.Mourinho,Wenger and SAF all excel at this. I think he absolutely messed up on this one...

It is getting boring, you're right about that, so let me tell you about my life.

I have the best set of friend's a man could have - my trusty PC, a variety of software programs and an internet friend. I'm not embarrassed to say that I met my best mate online, as sometimes the most meaningful connection is through the power of words.

Maybe some of us could be friends in the future?

I write code like no-one else so my Einstein title is definitely justified, seriously though I can develop such robust databases with accurate code and fantastic functionality, but I don't like to brag about it so we'll leave it at that. Just understand that I can write code brilliantly ok

The only thing I'm not happy about is my weight problem, that's something I'm a bit more ashamed about but when you get to my age things start to droop, a bit like my old lady laugh

Forget Hinkley bottom, try wrinkly bottom laugh

Hope the old bat's not reading whistle

I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.

Out of the title race? are you mad its not even christmas, if we win our game in hand we will be equal on points with Man Utd, so they must be out of the title race along with all other teams underneath us. Don't think so

Rafa shouldn't have had a go at the owners in public...but they need to listen to him and especially Rick Parry because they know what they're doing. Wenger was right when he said the reason he has been successful is because his owners give him breathing space and there are no clashes of egos. There was a clash of egos at Chelsea and look how that ended up.
But Rafa shouldn't wash his laundry in public-it's something Liverpool aren't used to doing and shouldn't start now.

In Rafa we trust.

"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

------------------------

Well !. Are the Swiss not the nation with a tight hold over most of the world's richest people's cash and holders of the lost Nazi gold ?

You are so transparent in your posting it's difficult to describe.

If you are in such an anguished mental state you need serious help my friend, and you won't find it on 606.

You have more than crossed the obsessional borderline - please, give it up.

Your antics don't bother me in the slightest, but I fear for your sanity.

Peace.

Yep, that awful, awful defence that just KEEPS ON SHIPPING GOALS.

6 in the last 13.

So much so that Reina looked genuinely disappointed at the offside flag when he saved from Viduka in the newcastle game.
