Yep, but the last thing you should do, assuming you are sane, is listen to mob rule.

Are all journalists taught that as a stock phrase or is Oliver moonlighting under another name?

Not another favourite? Eh? http://www.rfi.fr/actufr/images/055/foot_desailly220.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b9/Didier_Deschamps.jpg Brothers aren't they?

"Souness takes over again :( [pages: 1 2 .. 41355 41356]" Don't even joke about it. Page numbers looked realistic enough though if it did happen..

Oh yeah..

Wonder what fantasy he is typing right now regarding Deschamps as the new favourite for the job.

The water-carrier comments was sour grapes from a bruised ego after Deschamps had recieved plaudits from the French press regarding his contribution to the national side.

A couple of interesting points in this article about both Deschamps and Houllier. http://lyon.theoffside.com/team-news/lyon-likes-juventus-manager-didier-deschamps.html

Only thing I could say is at least Deschamps knows English (British) football. Don't believe le Guen had a clue except for what he might have seen on telly.

If the first thing he does is bring in two players that can thread a pass he'll get my undying support. (Edit: Moncur is frequently found to say things that prove he doesn't have his finger anywhere near the pulse of your average Geordie.)

he must be extra grateful to people to who fix telephones then

Houllier favourite in the betting now.

....and won 6 trophies with.

No spik Inglez?

Nothing really jumps off the page at you.

Houllier quotes from 2004 If he's a genuinely interested contender I guess he's changed his mind about the bold comment.

All sounds almost professional, except perhaps this bit - 'However, we are not currently a Champions League team, and in six seasons out of the last ten we have finished in the bottom half of the Premier League.' That shouldn't be a detractor but a positive. We should have done better and with you at the helm we would have done - and now will if you come on board. Saying we can't get a top manager because we haven't achieved as much as we could have hardly seems apt somehow.

This thread is going to be immortalised on football message boards up and down the country.

Agreed, it's time for Shearer.

Dangling on a string? I don't recall Shearer asking anyone to hold onto anything, never mind a bit of string. If you've been dangling on a string it's because you chose to - don't blame Shearer for that.

The script (romantic version) is tailor-made for him. New owner, transfer kitty, 2nd time lucky. Complete what you just failed on last time.

Head says one thing heart another? Go with the heart every time.

Keegan would probably make the ideal interim manager if the club were going to wait until the summer. Otherwise probably not the right choice. I see quotes attributed to him today on both BBC and Sky, not sure if they're a re-hash of earlier comments though.
