ponsaelius

They dislike him due to dithering over a new contract then buggering off to Madrid leaving Liverpool with a fee that was much deflated from his worth at the time. Plus, like us, they also were annoyed that he put England first and foremost every day of the week. That and joining Liverpool's greatest rivals.

He was better than his predecessor, that's about it. Looking at stats alone, Capello's squads won or drew in 86% of their matches. Granted that includes meaningless friendlies and what not and I understand the sour taste left after the WC. But still, that's the best non-loss percentage since Venables. Winning percentage at 66% was best in the last 60 years. The problem isn't necessarily that Capello was let go, but that Capello left such a bad taste with the English that they decided to ignore everyone who wasn't English. As if all foreign managers are like Capello. That's all well and good but tournament performance is really all that matters at international level for a country like England. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, wanting an English manager to do the job. People seem to have this bee in their bonnet about "bloody little Englanders demanding an Englishman, how small minded" - correct me if I'm wrong but isn't two foreign managers two more than Germany/France/Spain/Brazil/Argentina/Italy/Holland have ever had? Personally I don't really see why the rules about international management are any different to the rules about international players and imo they should be from that particular country just the same. Holland have had 12 English managers, 14 Dutch, 4 Austrian, 2 Scottish, a German, a Romanian and a Czech. France were managed by Romanian Stefan Kovacs in the 70s. You're right about the rest though

What's a young Steven Taylor doing there?

If they're willing to interview the likes of Martinez and Rodgers maybe O'Mong isn't out of the question?

Despised.

Liverpool fans well and truly turning on the owners. To think they were bumming them at the start of the season.

It's taken a while for Martinez' methods to finally click with the Wigan players. He won't get the time to do it at Liverpool. They already want him out and he hasn't got the job.

AVB is a good coach. Extremely meticulous, knowledgeable and plays good football. He just made a terrible career move.

"Liverpool always support their managers"

Holloway.

Spitting fury on RAWK. Not good enough for them.

He'd be top 5 if you went last 40 years.

noooo

You'd top Wullie's hate list if you appointed him.

Wasn't that you? edit: oh aye, slow

Like I said, such puffs.

Aye I posted that in the Cabaye thread. Dribbling all over their keyboards in fury.

Going to Liverpool.

West Ham.

Gareth Barry crying.

That's what I said. It'd be absolutely perfect in first crippling both fanbases, and then damaging both clubs.

Sigurdsson is going to cost too much I think. I don't see us spending anymore than around £10 million net.
