Will Purslow keep his job under the new regime?

[Il Fenomeno]

Listen, I can categorically state the Purslow didn't ''leak stories'' to Bascombe mate.

 

I think people have been reading too many Ruth Rendell mystery novels on here.

 

He told the News of the World: "If you ask me has the time for Liverpool come to look for a new manager then I have to say 'yes'."

 

"That is not me slating the guy because he forced me out when I didn't want to leave the club in the first place. Neither am I saying he is a bad manager. But over the last year or so the club have not move forwards, in fact they are going backwards."

 

"I will always be a fan. I keep in touch with a lot of people close to the club and many think the time has come for a new manager. I agree providing that process doesn't cripple the club financially in terms of pay-offs."

 

How does Danny Murphy know anything about Benitez' contract? This was in an interview with Bascombe..

 

What about the fact that Carra has argued with Collymore & Durham in the past, but then he was happy enough to go on the radio station and commentate on the world cup with them, and from then on they seemed to know the ins and outs of the Liverpool dressing room.

 

Quite a lot of coincidences.

[Anubis]

Maybe not Bacombe, but he was certainly leaking them to Sebastian.

Everyone (except maybe you) knows that if you terminate someone in the middle of their contract there will be some form of compensation, it would be an awesome point if he continued by stating the actual figure, but he did not.

How many people giving their opinion on whether the manager should be sacked or not, start talking about the pay off?

 

I'm not that bothered, I just hope Hodgson & Carragher enjoy their big, fat contracts.

[TheHowieLama]

Every one who is actually serious about it and its ramifications.

Every one who is actually serious about it and its ramifications.

 

"It goes without saying the team have ended up relying too much on Torres, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher."

 

"Over the past two years Benitez has made too many bad decisions. History says he has won the Champions League and the FA Cup for Liverpool, although even then people can argue about the merit of those wins."

 

"What I do know is that after being there for this length of time the debate should no longer be about Liverpool qualifying for the Champions League or where they finish in the league but actually winning the title. And that's not going to happen again this season. So something has to change."

 

"People go on about how well Liverpool did last season by finishing runners up? So what? We finished second under Gerard Houllier with 80 odd points. Our team also won three big trophies in one season. So things haven't really got much better. If anything they have got worse."

 

No agenda here at all. I'm sure, it's perfectly normal for players from rival teams to talk about other managers like this.

[TheHowieLama]

IMO Danny is a guy who came up in the club and still has it in his heart. Everything he said there was said thousands of times by fans including a fair few on this site.

 

You are correct there is an obvious agenda on display here, but it ain't coming from Murphy.

Got the club so much in his heart that he disparages our most recent trophy wins? Despicable liitle dwarf faced cunt.

If Murphy doesn't have an agenda, then why was he calling for Benitez' head in January, while in October he was saying Hodgson needed time and that Dalglish had been out of the game for a long time so shouldn't get the job.

 

Plus when Hodgson got appointed, Murphy was going on about how it was about time Liverpool had an English manager which understood what the club was about. Funnily enough, out of our last 3 managers, it's the English one that doesn't understand what the club is about.

Danny has an opinion, just like I do.

 

You have an agenda which you are trying to support with others opinions.

[coop]

So Hodgson feels Purslow does not know anything about football after the list he brought to him.

 

Just remind me again who appointed Hodgson.

 

Mind you going on that basis i think Hodgson has a point.

Roy does not yet realise he has a point.

Is correct. Another reason why those who toss the around the "Carra: defo future Libpool boss defo lad" view might be advised to rein it in a tad.

What are you saying? Carra doesn't know what Liverpool FC is about?

[chauncey]

What are you saying? Carra doesn't know what Liverpool FC is about?

 

No, because that would be ridiculous. I'm saying Englishness/scouseness/love for the club doesn't matter a damn if you're not up to the job. See also: Shearer & Newcastle.

[loadsoftrophies]

Shocking bit of arrogance shown by Purslow, seriously who the fuck does he think he is by telling Roy who's good enough to be playing for the club.

Christain please stay the fuck away from the footballing decisions at the club, you're fucking clueless.

[Hermes]

Maybe Purslow's list wasn't long enough. When you have mediocre players in your first eleven it's no surprise that your team is mid-table, which is where we have spent the last two seasons.

Yeah nothing do with the manager I suppose

We've had two managers in the last two seasons, same result.

Has to be said, the only player on that list I would have even thought twice about retaining is Lucas. The rest - and many others like Skrtel, Agger, Kuyt, Johnson even - have shown that they are not consistently good enough to play for anything but a mid-to-low table Premiership team.

 

Mind you, I wish Roy would stop getting confused: one week we're "massively" overstaffed; the next we're "very short" in certain areas. which is it to be, Roy, or does it just depend on the last result?

[Torvald Utne]

Oh, so what you're saying is that Benitez was not to blame?

[Hermes]

Depends on who signed them.

[ChicagoRed]

Hodgson's comments demonstrate just how much Purslow interfered with on-the-pitch matters, including the departure of Rafa and recruiting this idiot.

 

You can just imagine what this is doing in the dressing room. As for Roy, what was he thinking? What is the possible benefit of airing these negative comments in public? LFC does its business quietly. Poor form gets fixed behind closed doors, not in sound bites on TV.

[lifetime fan]

Anyone able to post Roys comments?
