Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "icon_lol.gif
Go on then, tell me how Roy would have been superior to Souness and Evans. They were both managers pretty much before I began understanding football properly, so my knowledge on them is fairly limited, but if you can tell me what you had seen from Hodgson in his time as Liverpool manager that made you think he'd improve us, I'd really like to read it. Go on, make my year

I have no expectations for next season yet, we've not even started pre-season and Rodgers' influence at the club will be miniscule at the moment. However, if the reasons for discontent were fair and justified, would it be wrong of fans to voice them? You talk about Liverpool fans whinging about discontent, I seem to have an annual argument on here with blues about Moyes still being good enough, yet I'm repeatedly told he's took them as far as he could and he can't sign a good striker. I know a fair amount of Everton fans who have longed for Moyes out almost every Christmas for about three years running now, yet at the end of every season it's the same old "Moyes will get the United job soon, etc."

We will probably struggle to make the top 6 this season given the considerable gap between the top 6 and the rest (I doubt Newcastle will have another year like the one they just had, but if they do, good for them). With the right ins and outs, rapid progress could easily be made, just look at Newcastle as an example, but Newcastle's success seemed to come from extensive research and savvy spending and selling. Can't imagine we've had anywhere near enough planning done to sign with such quality like they did, but you never know.

Quote: Conroy "Who are regularly chasing the Champions League places as opposed to struggling to reach the Europa League.'"

Reguarly chasing the CL places? They were in it for the first time in their hostory in 09 or '10. Hardly regular is it.

They have a better team at the minute but if you truly believe that Spurs are a bigger club thsn Liverpool, I suggest you go for a lie down.

They have more chance of signing a top class player than you do.

The attraction of Liverpool is still there, we're still one if the biggest clubs in the world, and playing for us still appeals. Us and Spurs are both in the Europa League this year. If Spurs want to pay silly wages like the 70k i believe theyre willing to pay then thats fine. I personally wouldnt pay him that much a week, the same as Rodgers.

Liverpool are a bigger club than Spuds easily.

It might be nice to return to the comp., as it starts again tonight, as opposed to parochial matters.
Just a thought.

No you didnt "have to put up" with it. You b1tched and whinged about him, helped by your saviour in chief KKK pecking away at any authority he may have had and got him the sack without him having a real chance to impose anything at the club. That's embarrassing.

So you think Kenny and the fans got him the sack? Deary me.

What I was saying we had to put up with was idiocy from people in the media like Henry Winter and Paddy Barclay. Of course, you'd miss the point.

Indeed, but if we are talking about Jonny Foreigner, for some London will have more of an allure than Liverpool / Manchester / Cheshire

A puff piece about the new England manager. There's never been one of those before. icon_rolleyes.gif

99% of people would have read that and dismissed it as being the puff piece it is.

Bitter scousers like you won't though. Just like you only saw the bad of the England games in Euro 2012, just like Schevchenko getting a goal is a reason to bash Michael Owen, a puff piece about Hodgson is something to link to and mock.

You are the embarrassing one.
