Rodgers In

[Guest davelfc]

Sorry I think 'see sense' is perhaps unfair on Rodgers. I dream that new owners would have a better plan than the current one and therefore want to use different personnel, proven and experienced personnel to achieve this plan.

 

If you want to be up with the best you need to hire the best. Thinking you'll be up with the best by simply working your way slowly upwards only ends up with any decent people you have being head hunted away.

Lot of sense there mate.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I prefer to think if we had better owners, ones that had a fucking clue and some ambition that they'd see sense.

 

Rather than the 'grow your own' know nothing fuckwits that are very very quiet at the moment.

 

You see, I have a problem with this. Firstly, I want to 'grow our own' players, like we always have. Secondly, we've spent amazing amounts. What your saying just doesn't match up to what has happened.

 

Oh and if you want to force an answer, yes, today, this minute. Send him packing. Get in a decent CEO and an experienced manager that can attract players that will put us back up there.

 

I just can't believe you - somebody I respect on here, regardless of a few angry words - can say something like that. It's all a bit 'Newcastle fan'. He has been here five minutes and inherited a dog of a squad. To turf him out before he has a chance to make the squad his - especially if we got owners like City - would be incredibly premature.

Set em up and knock em down eh?

 

'Like City', where are you intentionally taking this discussion? I didn't have to wait too long for this predicted reply from you. You've been casting your bait out for weeks and weeks and think you've got a bite.

A club of our stature shouldn't be looking at 24 years without a league title, but perhaps that is because we aren't quite the club that our fans think we are!

 

Not sure we are performing that much worse defensively either!

 

And in that first sentence the whole situation is summed up perfectly.

 

We can go on about our history, titles one, fanbase etc. It makes little difference. The fact is that, since 2009, we have been an upper mid-table team, nothing more, nothing less.

 

So, if Rodgers is underachieving, then so were Rafa and Kenny.

 

And anyone who compares what Rodgers has had to spend with what Kenny had in 2011 is surely just having a laugh. We fucked up, simple as. It wasn't the first time and, if the last 25 years are anything to go by, it wont be the last.

What the fuck are you on about, David? Anyway, back to 'What your saying just doesn't match up to what has happened'. Obviously.

Agreed with most of the other points, but just fixed the one glaring mistake for ya.

 

And yes, I know, before anyone tries point out it was a spelling mistake

Yep it should be spelt Eighteen.

[Durango 9]

Fucking hell where have you been? Last time you were on here you recommended to someone to go and wank a budgie!!

Have you been chasing the budgie for all this time?

 

Nope,

[Durango 9]

How does that work? He was hired in November and Dalglish was made interim manager in January.

 

Comoli must have been briefing FSG/NESV unbeknown to Roy

[Johnny Cougar 343]

Fuck me, Durango the antique chair specialist is back.

That still makes no sense.

At ease Soldier

[stringvest 12,747]

 

I don't dislike him and you have no basis for that statemnt but I know its a useful ploy for you to discount the view that he should be sacked

 

However I dislike him being our manager

 

Yours and the collective blind faith in a man who has achieved nothing of note in his managerial career is part of the malaise by which this club slowly goes down the toilet

 

Who has blind faith in him? Do you know anyone who doesn't have doubts about his ability to pull this off? I think you should name names, just so they can come on here and ridicule you.

[Durango 9]

That still makes no sense.

 

Did Hodgson sign Cole?

 

FSG/NESV must have had clandestine meetings with Comoli whilst Hodgson was in charge

Cole was signed before FSG took over, by Purslow.

[Code 723]

Given that was his first post, that was a bit of a dumbass comment really, wasn't it?

 

 

Or maybe that was the point.

This would be the FSG/NESV who bought the club in October?

Stranger things have happened

[zigackly 621]

Stranger things have happened

 

Stranger things than making an approach for a player on behalf of a club you do not work for, at the behest of people who do not own it?

have a word with Comoli

[KopOut 402]

 

To be quite honest' date=' Carroll for £35m is enough reason to be sacked. With every passing day it just looks even worse, and if you aren't fucking seething about it even now then you don't grasp just how much money that is.

 

We mortgaged our future on a 2011 version of someone who was potentially as good as Niall Quinn or Duncan Ferguson. But he's likely not even going to reach their level of mediocrity.[/quote']

 

Its enough reason for the Director Of Football to be sacked, yes. He was. I'ts obvious Kenny was sacked for not over achieving in his first full season, after over achieving in his previous six months - and, for just not being wanted in the first place. It looks like BR will get much more consideration.

[RobbieOR 1,511]

No, he was sacked for underachieving massively in the league. I dont think anybody, even posters like Neil G could disagree that he underachieved in the league. Saying otherwise is absurd.

[KopOut 402]

Downing's fee wasn't grossly inflated? Henderson's wasn't? Carroll get 10 goals? KopOut's gone mental again.

 

A player's head space plays a massive role in his playing career. Carroll was coming good in terms of confidence and performance prior to being told he wasn't wanted. Imagine what it does to a player to be told to fuck off. He wanted to STAY. As for the 'system' I've seen nothing this season to suggest he wouldn't have fitted in and partnered Luis - as it is, all those crosses of Johnson Enrique and Downing were just fired into no man's land.
