Why didn't you rate him when he came considering his track record up to that point?
I rated his record, I just didn't like the way Liverpool played a lot of the time, they were very huff and puff whenever I watched them they often beat technically better teams with effort alone. When you're watching as a neutral and want decent football, it's crap to watch. When it's your own team, it's brilliant. That and him wanting to replace Xabi Alonso with Gareth Barry, which is still absolutely crackers, as much as I love the man.
Did you not read the reason why he tried to do that?
Yeah, I did. Versatility and the English Gerrard/Barry relationship iirc. Still daft imo.
I was referring to him having to sell Alonso to raise funds, he said people always question why he wanted to sell him - but he didnt.
