you can but you won't make much sense. i can say its a chain of wrong decisons made by one person that will get everyone behind my back.. I just think you want everyone behind your back :winking:

Can you tick all of the above?? (edit more options on the poll since i started writing.. so just the ones below) Dalglish should have been a good appointment he had a fantastic track record, but never understood or became one with the passion of the area. Whilst he did wonders to repair the damage Keegan had done scrapping the reserves and restoring the youth teams, he got rid of some of our best players and replaced them with sub standard quite frankly terrible players. It went wrong there. Appointing Gullit, another wrong decision, had the charisma but not the tactical noose or ability to handle the players around him, like Dogleash brought in some real pap aswell. It went wrong there. Sacking Robson should never have happened, he should have been gracefully moved up to a DOF role months earlier, his input to the club was invaluable, he loved the club, we loved him and he had alot more to give to the club. It went wrong there. Appointing Souness Disciplinarian, the dressing room was full of out of control ego maniacs, Souness was never going to be the right appointment, hated from the start, he neither had the Charisma, Charm or reputation anyone but the boardroom wanted. More money spent, good players out, some bad judgement signings in. He was never the right man for the job more so than Gullit and Dalglish. Completely the wrong decision, but maybe the patsy that would rid the club of the people that the board didnt want at the club. It went wrong there. Roeder being appointed whilst its too early to judge what the outcome will be for Roeder, (the majority can hazard a guess) we had another chance to get the right people in to turn this club around. Roeder like Robson should have been moved upstairs or somewhere else at this club. It went wrong there. Out of them all Keegan Leaving was the only thing wasnt the wrong decision.. but most certainly without a doubt It went wrong there.

Dissapointed Roeder doesnt Fancy Distin. But if we are getting in better defenders fair play, Distin was good for the price and what he would bring, but there are many better players for us out there. Zat Knight and Woodgate, Meh... Glad we arent after Viduka aswell, I think we could do with somoene a couple of years young at least.

Quoted for Truthery.

At this rate we are going to need a song for Nicky Butt when he gets on the pitch! bluebigeek.gif

Dont know, almost fancy Luque could get a start Zog, Pattison, Butt and Milner around him with Martins up front. Then again he would have to start Luque so we can consider ourselves safe from that scenario.

Curbs possibly to be announced as soon as tonight/tmrw morning! mediocre appointment. Even with money i dont see him getting them any higher than pardew would have done. Wont get them into the top 4 IMO.

Great news, he will play. Unfortunately we will probably go 4-5-1 sit deep and play for the draw, but we will invite the pressure as normal, and will have no chance in coping with it. To be fair what ever we play its going to be lambs to a slaughter.

Martins is quicker than Owen ever was and is much stronger and more robust, would be interesting to see who was the better finisher. Certainly Owen is better in the box, but he is older an wiser. What holds Martins back is his decision making, he has to learn to make the right runs and make the right pass. Id say he has the potential to eclipse Owen though. As of now there is no contest who is better though.

Isn't that up to the manager? Surely Freddy isn't the one picking the backroom staff we hire. Should be, but its not Roeder that holds the purse strings for the wages. Roeder certainly wanted to go down the DOF route, why he has cooled off that idea i dont know, be it no-one interested/good enough for the job, or the fat man vetoing it who knows?

Yeah I had the displeasure of sitting with my Blackburn Supporting mate in the home end though. I was crying in joy each time we scored. The first half was just comical. I shat myself a bit in the second truth be told. But it had just about everything you would want from a game. Bar another 8 Newcastle goals and a performance in the second half.

I agree, Roeder needs more experience and support around him. Maybe harsh comments on Clark, he is a far cry from the yes men we are used to and many of us have witnessed him flaring up in Roeders face if he thinks something needs to be said during a match. Experience is his flaw. A D.O.F. would ease the pressure but we certainly could do with at least another EXPERIENCED coach.

Well if he brings in Long Ball Lucas Neill I guess someone has to be up there to head the ball down. I hate the long ball, infact i hate goal kicks half the time i swear it would be better to build up, 8/10 Goal kicks give away possesion with us.

Sounds like Emre and Solano might be back for the Carling cup. Will have to see what the scans show up. Might be spoilt for midfield choice by a week weds. Then only a couple games until we can re-enforce

excellent news. Hughes obviously starting to feel the pressure now. Seems his mentality is rubbing off on Pedersen though who was also whinging in a similar matter to the lancashire post. Possibly the best football game ive been to in years.

Cant say im keen. Wouldnt turn the signing down, but i think we can do better for that kind of money. Plus im pretty sure Liverpool wont sell him. We know he can work with Owen, likewise surely with Martins. He can hold up the ball very well, is reasonable in the air and would certainly be close to the type of player we need. He doesnt really have the power, strength and heart I think we need. But he would bring us something, im just not sure what...

Certainly remember him and trezerguet before Henry made the jump to Arsenal. He certainly bloomed in to the player he is now in London though.

Sacking him would be a disgrace. Depending on how the next few months go I am more or less pleased with Roeder, he obviously needs more help though, add pearson and we have seen the difference the extra imput gives. Im prepared to give him until the end of the season, like most I dont think he has the magic to take us where we need, but I guess the ipswich fans said the same when SBR nearly relegated them, and like wise with an early stuttering Alex Ferguson at Manure. Not that im saying Roeder will ever be in the same league as either. But consistency is the key. If anything I would move Roeder upstairs at the end of the season to the DOF job he was made for, his vision is great, he has a love of the club like most of us and is an intelligent man. Its either that or appoint an Experienced DOF that he can turn to if things arent going well. The worrying thing is that more than likely he will make the step up to DOF, but it will be for the prodigal son returning home to make the step up to manager...

Think we would struggle to get Bent for £10m let alone £7m. Depends if Liverpool want to let crouch go or he wants to leave.

Id agree, all he has ever needed is competition, he has been complacent from the get go here, who is going to dislodge him when fit? He has never had competition and he knows he will always start if fit. He is popular amoungst the players for some reason as backup I could cope with him being around and im sure we will see a better player. Like anyone else i will be more than happy to see him leave aswell.

Are we setting a record for the worst threads in a day ever? :confused:

Is Parker back for Weds? Sky were saying he was in contention for the blackburn match on friday. Maybe Pattison and Butt on weds?

Has alot to do with the fact we are breeding more confidence, which is partly due to the fact the chances we were creating are going in at the moment and we are having a bit more luck rather than punishment when we mess up at the back. Alot of the team are playing better due to it.

joke, I bet there are a hundered more deserving youngsters in other sports, even if no one has heard of them. He hasnt even had the chance to do anything let alone do it.

Luke young really isnt that much better than Carr. Upson is injury prone and will be stupidly expensive for what he is. Brown and Distin would be good purchases. If we cant get bridge we should be enticing Baines or Matty taylor. Although the latter will never come here after the way we treated Ambrose.
