What idiots. Only thing worse than getting Klinsman would be getting Mclaren.

zing.

To me this looks like the yanks wanting to make Benitez unsure and uncertain about his position, so he might resign or something so they don't have to sack him. Otherwise why would they do that? Apart from the fact they're idiots of course

Because News of the World reported last week (Tuesday i think) that they met with Klinsmann...clearing it up i guess.

I meant why would they reveal that they spoke to him, not why they spoke to him in the first place. I was unclear though...

Hmmm spose telling the press they did speak to him makes sense if the NOTW or the Sun reported it....although they clearly don't know those papers very weel because they could have said it was made up and no-one would question that.
