backer or backstabber

"Tom Hicks today admitted the club’s owners held a meeting with Jurgen Klinsmann over the possibility of becoming the next manager of Liverpool - but that Rafa Benitez can now count on the full backing of both chairmen."

- That was what I read from the Official Liverpool website and my blood was boiling as I read that. What the damn hell is Tom Hicks trying to do making such a statement to undermine Rafa's position ? There's nothing positive to be achieved here, only to further destabilize the team :(

"In November, when it appeared we were in danger of not advancing in the Champions League, weren't playing well in our Premier League matches, and Rafa and we were having communication issues over the January transfer window, George and I met with Jurgen Klinsmann to learn as much as we could about English and European football," he explained."

-Hicks doesn't have any faith and patience at all with Rafa. We did have a bad patch in October but to think of replacing Rafa just like that is ridiculous. Why consult an outsider to "learn about English and European football when we already have a great European Cup tactician and manager in Rafa? There's no doubt they are a tag team of Dumb & Dumber. And they obviously didn't watch our 2005 Champions League win, they have absolutely no idea what pedigree Liverpool has in Europe. We were pushed to a dead corner, but the supporters and team will bounce back. If we had just gave up like the Dumb & Dumber did, then Istanbul will never become a reality.

Backer to support and move our great club forward or a backstabber who had gone against the Liverpool Way ? The answer is obvious now and I really hope to be proven wrong in future.
