Boro, Citeh, Wigan & Fulham are all going to have tough seasons. I think Sunderland will have a mid-bottom finish as i think spending isn't finished by a long way. As for the two other promoted teams, they'll be in amongst it, but the 4 i mentioned at the start are making all the wrong moves so far to suggest they are going to improve on last season.

Roy Keane has already proved he knows what he is doing at Championship level, and all things considering he could possibly be a very talented manager in the near future. One thing is for certain, if he has a good season, a really good season and a decent sized club came in he'd drop Sunderland like a hot rock. This is a real test for him, but i think he'll come out the other end, however like most i want to see him under pressure when things aren't going well, but if people think he's going to fail or fall flat on his face when the happens, i think you'll be disappointed, them man thrives on that sort of pressure, its what he's all about, winning is the only way, and that is coming through already in his management skills. I would love to see Shearer come into management and battle against his old fiend, would make for interesting viewing for the next generation of fans.

How could Butt possibly not be a candidate. Personally i don't see why he would be a candidate. He basically shares all the weaknesses that the other 3 have, he's too quiet like Given, he's too rash and prone to the odd mistake like Taylor, and his place in the team isn't assured like Solano. Not a good candidate IMO. who would you have then? Its a tough one: (In brackets who applies imo, although Barton is obviously hard to rate) Of high ability, always 1st team choice and one of our better players. (Given, Taylor, Barton) Respect of players & staff (Given, Butt, Solano) Respect of fans (Given, Solano, possibly Butt & Taylor) Vocal with players. (Barton, Taylor, Butt) Vocal off the pitch with media and fans. (Given, Taylor, Butt) Motivator. (Taylor, Butt & Barton) Able to handle pressure. (Butt, Given, Solano, possibly Barton) Ability to organize and think quickly. (Solano, Butt, possibly Barton) Positioned in the field where he can see everything and communicate with everyone. (Barton, Butt, Taylor) likely to still be here in 3 or more years (Given, Barton, Taylor) Calmness and professional (Given, Solano, possibly Butt) No one ticks all those for me, however Barton gets closest, he needs time to win over the fans and new team mates, if this was a year down the line he'd probably be perfect.

That would help lower league footballers. Not everything surrounds the superstars of the EPL you know.

That's blatantly Tevez by the way. Aye, can't actually believe i didn't think of that one. Imaging Sheff Utd if Lord Stevens named that transfer right now. Sneaky cunt though for hiding it if it is that transfer, all should be treated the same, stop protecting the FA you old jobsworth boring fuker!

Everyone contacting SSN's to deny any wrong doing. Bit of a joke finding in the end.

So none of the clubs can be directly indicated in the findings, which means nothing is going to come of this. If this is the level of 'bung culture' in the game, then we all have nothing to worry about.

50% stupid and 40% a cunt. 10% unknown.

allegedly means fuck all in a court of law mate . I can see Souness trying to sue me, its would be a laugh, i'd counter sue for trauma , with 52,000 witnesses, i'm bound to win!

Its why Dream Team was canceled tbh.

Or just make him take his coaching license. TBH, i think the cunt is finished with management, we made sure of that, its why he wants a club to co own.

I think this guy is innocent tbh. I hope he takes them to court and wins.

KEY FINDINGS FROM FINAL QUEST REPORT: Doesn't really finger anything with us though, just Souness making shit up, which wouldn't be the 1st time. This guy on SSN's is going fuking hell for leather.

Hopefully we can put all the heat on Souness for this since all of the transfer are his, can the club play dumb or not? PS: Chelsea are involved, we won't be docked points as they wont have the balls to dock Chelsea.

Luque's agent! Emre & Boumsong & Faye all named as unhappy with. So recap. SA's son, Barton's agent, Luque's agent & Emre, Boumsong, Luque & Faye deals all have question marks over. Not to mention SA and the Ben Haim deal!

Aye, he's crap and i would be disappointed if we signed him, but he's a class above what we've got at RB, shameful.

Nicky Butt - Probably the right candidate, but i expect him not to be here and if so only as back-up. Steven Taylor - Too young, needs a strong captain to learn off, possibly our next captain though. Shay Given - Can't command his defense, terrible position as well to give a captaincy too. Emre - Fuking hell, we are desperate. Nobby Solano - Should be used sparingly, if at RB he has too much to think about there to lead a team. Joey Barton - Natural replacement for Parker as captain and the one SA will go for. Michael Owen - Scum. Other - There is no other

They've already got Fletchers and SWPs, what they need is Rooneys and Ronaldos. I agree for liverpool to actually challenge the top 2 then they need to be buying one or two world class players and not just squd players they already have enough of those to survive a long campign on 2-3 fronts But a lot of those types of players are leaving. Zenden,Kewell & Gonzales for starters which leaves fuk all down the left, and only Pennant down the right. Garcia is another possibility but he is total hit and miss anyway. They need worldclass signings, but they'll also need the like of Benayoun to fill in the gaps. true and squad players keep getting older so I know what your saying but like us they have a list of priorities and while I feel we need to add 5-6 squad players sinse we are really short I see that the big money and energy needs to go in to the big world class big hitter type signings and then work on bringing in one or two, I really dont think they should be proud enough to act shrewd get players on loan, swap as part of deals to get rid of the shite they dont want to get better in. They dont have a bad squad but they will soon feel their "third best" slot slip away if they dont invest this year, as they cant count on the rest of the league playing catch up forever The Liverpool task this season isn't as easy as it 1st looks, especially when you've got an issue over the budget ATM. Rafa has done an average to good job spending money so far, although his reliance of La Liga must come to an end if he want to have a title race next season. EPL proven players cost though, and if he wants one or two stars on a £40m budget then he's stuck as fuk, and time is running out to capture those types of players that Liverpool desperately need. Liverpool have a good keeper & a solid defense, but a big injury to Carragher and that defense would be very stretched over the season, their strikeforce is strong but not scoring enough goals, there is not genuine goalscorer amongst them, all of them are setup/support or worker type forwards, they need someone to finish it all off on a constant basis and for a top four club, they have fuk all down the flanks. That's a lot of issues to address at once, especially on a £40m budget. we will crush them then next season...... I dunno its hard we have learned the hard way loose players in important areas and you suffer. Liverpool have not felt that to the same extent loose Gerrard and they are fucked, strikers are fine but like us something is lacking in midfield as you expect them to get more. They are really at a cross roads as much as us, being taken over does not leave them minted and while rafa will still be licking his lips at the prospect of 40+ million to help him develop the squad I agree if he wants world class it will buy him 2-3 players max not enough to cope for a full season and challenege but as many people have written there is almost a bigger gap from third to second than there is from 10-5th at the moment testiment to how powerful chelsea and manu are at the moment IMO, and this will rile Liverpool fans, there isn't much difference between the team Rafa inherited and the one he's got now. Its still a lopsided, and considering he's had the time and the money he should have a better squad. However you cannot argue with what he's done in the CL, and has brought Liverpool back to one of Europe's elite in that competition, but has in the meantimes neglected the need for certain players in a tough league, namely consistent ones. GH had a 5 year plan to deliver the league and was driven out when he didn't manage it. How long will Rafa get? What year is this 3, 4? Also Rafa started with a much better team and it wouldn't surprise me if he's spend the same in his time here as GH.

Milner is a Gary Speed in terms of fitness, just one of those players who can keep going. He'll be fine, its only an extra 3 games at the rate Lita is throwing away England's hopes!

I didn't see it but i heard he assisted.
