Without looking at the list I bet we have paid off three of them to leave - adds up this manager stuff.

[The Acolyte]

Rodgers doesn't even make the top 30?!

Not actually surprised and surprised I don't actually care!

Is that so?

Not a single fuck given.

We are obviously saving our way to the top, its a well known recipy for success in sports.

So not paying a fuckload for a manager is a problem?

[Fugitive]

When was the last time code started a thread that was not utterly pointless or agenda driven shite?

[KopOut]

I see Rafa isn't there - did the Russian dude get him on a free???

[Trucker Paddy]

O'Goblin is on that list, staggering

[Coro]

No Van Gaal.

 

We've missed a trick there.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

I don't think that he is saying that.

 

The point seems to be whether the our owners are prepared to pay a fuckload for a manager.

We are a big club, but here is the thing:

 

We have a young manager that is trying to build his team, that was never going to happen over the course of one transfer window and we always knew that we were going to struggle this season after what happened in the summer.

 

In the first half we were dreadful, but then I saw the character our team and guess what....they actually started to play well around the 20 minute mark, stamping our brand of football in the game. Hendo unlucky to level things before they went 2 up.

 

The dreadful start costed us dearly, but when they emerged for the second half, there was belief in the team that they can turn it around. We missed our chances, but we forced a goal. At that point, I knew that no matter what would happen next, these players will fight for each other.

 

The point is Code, you can shove the worst start bollocks up your ass. This is not a time to point fingers and say that our current manager is shitest of all the Liverpool managers. This a time where this team and this manager need our support and our patience. The change has come and it will gradually start bearing fruit.

 

Fuck off with all that agenda driven shit that you post day in and day out. The stage is set where we only need a few key signings to really make this team tick.

 

On top of that with Lucas coming back we are going to be more solid in the middle, something that we have sorely missed.

 

Rodgers was right, we were coming up against a side that are building their squad for the past 3 years, but at some points in the game pinned them back playing some great football whilst doing it.

 

Give the man and the team time, and you will not be disappointed. Its a slightly easier job when fans back the team and manager, instead of having to put pressure on the man whose job is to bring back our golden years.

Rafa is gonna be in there pretty close to the top when that thing gets updated. I guess that means Code wants him back.

Who gives a fuck.. the job isn't vacant.

Top post.

No need to be so aggressive, I wasn't saying it was.

 

As much as I hope Brendan does well here, you do have to wonder if the owners chose him for financial reasons, rather than footballing ones. And i'm not solely talking about his contract either.

Wasn't being aggressive... It doesn't matter if they are seen as willing to or not as we're not shopping for a new one.

While some of the stuff you say is admirable, and indeed true...I don't feel its a fair depiction of things right now.

 

Many of our fans seem to have an 'either end of the spectrum' view of everything regarding our club.

 

The only way the club is going to get better is through a self-critical - but not fatalistic - approach to the club, in both a footballing and business sense.

 

Things are not as rosy as you propose. The manager has made countless mistakes. The owners simply have not demonstrated either the finances or knowledge to suggest they will take us very far. Bleak.

 

That said, sacking Brendan would be retarded. Nearly as retarded as ignoring a certain CL winning manager this summer.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Well, it does matter, because their willingness to invest in perhaps the most crucial role at our club is quite indicative of their willingness to invest at all.

 

We aren't shopping for a new one, but we may in the future - who knows? The owners are impulsive, thick cunts afterall. Similarly we find ourselves approaching January shopping for a new x, y and z - which will no doubt leave many of us disappointed.

 

This thread hasn't got much to do with the manager. Its to do with the owners.

 

The cunts.

I agree with some of this - but will the Owners sanction the key signing we need?

Really? It matters? And how do you quantify if they are willing to invest in the managerial position when they are not interviewing candidates for it?

 

By magic ballot? Do you pick names out of hats? Are you clairvoyant?

 

As for the willing to invest 'at all'? Well, they invested big two summers ago --- That went well.

 

They invested 30m last summer. That seems to be ok, without sarcasm, and we're making noises about looking to add players in January.

 

I guess you must be clairvoyant because you've suggested that we're going to be disappointed with our additions with 'no doubt' behind your prediction.

 

Let's be honest here... You could have just typed "The owners are cunts" and it'd make more sense than the post you just made.

[liverpoolsno9]

You get what you pay for eh? Well we didn't last season you boring cunt. We had a manager who was the 7 th highest earning manager in World football. Earning the same ad Slur Alex & we still finished 8th. Below Alan Pardews Newcastle. So, proof that you don't actually get what you pay for, you boring, horrible, agenda driven twat. God, I hate you.

I am not overlooking the mistakes made by the manager nor am I in any fantasy land regarding our owners.

 

The point is we have a young manager and a young team, both that will make mistakes. However that counts for very little based on the brand of football that we are playing. The players need to learn the new system and the manager needs to learn his players. I cannot say that its been overly disappointed with what has happened as I think we are playing great football at times.

 

Regarding the owners and transfers, we have said that this coming January will prove their worth. There is a glaring need for a striker, who needs to be bought in early on in the month so that we can him up running before that sequence of games start.

 

I hold off my judgement until then.
