Backing of the fans. Alonso is idolised here so would have more sway due to the potential backlash from us if something goes against him.

 

The other side of the coin is the fans will stay behind him if its a difficult start. The Portuguese fella won't have that. Tbe fans will want him gone quicker

[Moo]

Meh.

 

And if it's not Alonso, and I'm now near enough convinced it won't be, the next fella will have to get off to a really good start. I don't envy him.

So we are buying Everton and using it to develop players then 

Fucking hell he's good but he's not a miracle worker 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Sounds like he wants a doer-upper club he can tinker with, so he's not left twiddling his thumbs like he was once Klopp got his team together and shifted approach to more established players.

 

Still don't like this multi-club lark, but I guess if you can't beat 'em and all that. The vote on the matter not going FSG's way must've swayed them.

Oh 100% but my point was more on who Edwards might want in to fit his vision and having someone come in that's more willing to listen to his way as opposed to making decisions themselves (Klopp with the Henderson contract extension for example) 

 

Like I've said, I could be completely wrong in this and I hope I am because I'm desperate for Alonso to come in.

Imagine if we're still fighting on all fronts at the end of the season going for 3 more trophies. 

 

Klopp himself struggled with leggy players the season after his quadruple battles, going to be difficult for a new guy to follow that, and have the transition period.

The next manager of Liverpool will have the best platform any Liverpool manager has had since the 70's.

[Anubis]

Ha ha. Everton voted multi-club because they thought 777were a shoe-in and we were against. They’ll be against it now.

[Megadrive Man]

If we are going down the multi club route, there's a little blue club not far from here that are struggling to get a takeover approved?

I've heard from a mate whose brother works for a company that fills the vending machines in the canteen at Newcastle  and apparently Almiron has handed in a transfer request.

 

The pieces are all falling into place

[bossy]

Ah, a good old Tuesday signing. 

[No2]

I think I hate him. Reading the achievements listed on that statement like he scored 40 goals is a bit nauseating. Stay in the background and crunch the numbers you cunt.

I hate it. I understand it as you can't get left behind but from a 'good of football' view I think it's a disgraceful system

Edwards did well in a certain role. He's now been brought back in another role. Hopefully it will work, but there's no empirical evidence it will. His speciality is precisely what the person he'll hire to be sporting director will now do. If he's not repeatedly overruling whoever gets that role, I'm not sure what he'll be up to that's based on his expertise. 

[Bjornebye]

Fucking hell I forgot Benteke played for us

There's no empirical evidence of people getting promoted to do a job higher up the organisational tree than the one they have previously excelled at? It's practiacll6 every person in a senior role.ij business.

 

Doesn't mean hull excel again, but there's plenty of prior.

There's no empirical evidence of HIM, Michael Edwards, being suited to excelling at this particular new role, rather than the particular old role, to which he has now been appointed, given the fact that, since leaving his old role, his consultancy work has been much the same. How you can possibly, honestly, apply your hermeneutic skills to my post and arrive at that ridiculous generalisation, without wishing to score some deluded cheap point, is utterly beyond me, and, I dare say, everyone else on this fucking planet.

I guess this ends the tiny vestige of pure denial that Jurgen might change his mind!

Signed Gomez, Milner and Bobby in the last pre-klopp summer. Ings and Clyne too who were both solid squad additions for little outlay.

 

Less said of Benteke the better, but that's more of a mentality thing on him than anything, plus Klopp wanted Bobby as his sole striker so a bad start became terminal.

 

Benteke was all Rodgers, if I recall. I think he made a right fuss about getting him so they ended up signing him and Bobby.

The fella has got a promotion. Like a billion people before him. He might be great at it. He might not. 

 

I really.dont know why you felt the need to get all pissy about it and vomit a thesaurus. Other than, well, it being you.
