lovejoy

i know he is hated on here, and pretty much everywhere if we're honest, but i thought that was a good read

a good read that actually and the 'american interest' is also intersting

"At this stage I have not even discussed with Michael as to whether he will be back for us on Sunday. "He is 50-50, but he will not return until, in my opinion, he is in pristine condition. "And he has had a slight groin strain which he picked up in shooting practice at the end of last week. "His groin is a bit sore, but this is what happens when players have been out for a long time in as much as they pick up niggles in other parts of their body.

im all for keeping him for next season as well. as you say, the season is over

according to glenn on ssn

we're at home though

i think his head went down when we signed duff, effectively replacing him, actually. maybe he is huffy. but i would be fucked off too.

hard to tell. The guy who wrote it - Chris Bascombe, is pretty close to Liverpool, although not as close as he used to be I don't think. He actually hates Houllier with a passion (cos Houllier wouldn't put up with him at the end of his time here), so I'm amazed he's managed to write something about him without turning it into a slag fest. Bascombe gets a little more right than your average journo, but he's also as full of s*** as most of them Also, I really wouldn't have a clue how he'd know what Houllier's intentions are, being as I kinda doubt they speak to each other surely he will still have contacts who know houillier though? maybe he is still mates with cock nose thompson or someone? who knows. here's hoping though

what makes you think that? He's a manager - he'd want to manage at the first sign of things going wrong. Plus there's the Evans thing at Liverpool. exactly, worked a treat imo, evans f***** off!

what makes you think that?

thats what this lot think of it http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=172710.0

Explain? i think he is a very good manager and has done well at lyon (in champs league etc) even though he has had to sell some of his best players, he also won a few things over here not so long ago. a good gaffer and a vast improvement

would be a great move

Couldn't agree more, Shepherd did unbelievably well to get Souness then Roeder from all the ambitious and confident managers from the list who were willing to snatch the job again macbeth, i think this was due to timing. im pretty sure if we had sacked bobby when we should have, i.e end of season when liverpool did houillier in, we would never have ended up with souness.

according to glenn, we are to expect a 'eurpoean feel' to our recruitment team in the near future. ooh er

Nobody seemed to want the job when Bobby or Souness were sacked, if they did want it then we surely wouldn't have had Souness or Roeder. i think that was timing to be fair mick, managers dont tend to like to come during a season. good ones anyway.

sack him. everybody is fucking sick of his shite, players included probably. sad thing is, im pretty much hoping we lose the last few games so that things come to a head, souness style and we have no choice but to let him go.

aye, he's away i reckon

its in the notw, the times and the express ( i think), just been on ssn. all papers have claimed he would be reluctant to leave as he 'owes nufc'

or in a position, at board level, to exploit it.

personally, i would love him here as gaffer. shows how far we have fallen as on the day we sacked bobby, it was widely reported on sky etc that houillier would come in (as caretaker i think), and i was gutted back then.

dawson is shite. spuds need rid of him, i have never seen a centre half look so lost (apart from some of the shite we have had) as he did at sjp this year. they should have fucked him off when they did davenport, another pile. same goes for robinson. this fat fucker is awful. drops clangers left, right and centre. couldnt save up. i may be alone here but i dont rate lennon to highly either. his jazz hands are funny to watch but i dont realy see him do anything great, he seems to lack end product. having said that he is very very young and games like west ham this season make me think he will def improve. jenas isnt good enough and as someone has already said their strikers are not clinical enough. oh, thay lee young whatever is shite as well. apart from that though, theyre alreet! still better than us like!

fucking wanker. pair together them 2. what was he on about anyway?
