    He was asked just now in a press conference about the club. He just said the media should note that he's already stated he won't discuss anything about LFC, and reporters should 'show me some respect' because 'I'm focussing on a big game for me country'.

    I have to say I really hate the Englishman. Everything about him. I bet he doesn't even play golf. Bring the Scotsman back!

    You're alone, without a dream in your heart, without a love of your own. That's why you have the time to pester us.

    Doesn't his club have a massive forum of its own?

    He's also just been offered double his wages by Fulham, and the 'Woy for England' story has resurfaced, so maybe it's not as certain as it seemed.

    Once again: how do we know who has 'taken a step forward'? It's usual for such people to do so quietly behind the scenes, not trumpet it like Sven did (which wouldn't have gone down well at all). Top managers don't normally stick their hand up in the air and shout 'Oooh, please sir, me sir!' They get their agents to make discreet contact with a club, or, more often, they wait for the club to contact their agent.

    There is only one man who can make Steven see sense: If leaving me is easy...

    Some of these reporters are desperate to see players leave. The Mail has just published a report that says Kuyt wishes Rafa luck but notes he's under contract to Liverpool and owes the club a lot. Then they've stuck a picture of him there with the caption 'Yes, I'm leaving'! Pathetic. Rafa Benitez returns to Liverpool with £33m offer for Dirk Kuyt and Javier Mascherano | Mail Online

    I quite agree with the logic that suggests caution about someone returning to management after a long time out. But then again, there can be (not always, but sometimes) big surprises. I remember when Kenny left, Tommy Smith was interviewed on TV about who might take over, and the interviewer, thinking about the 'keep it in the family' ethos, mentioned Keegan. Smith collapsed with laughter, saying he had no interest in today's football and spent all of his time on the golf course in Spain. Then Keegan came back and had his great spell with the barcodes - something that still surprises me a bit even now. So there are exceptions to the rule. The right attitude, the right backroom staff, the right luck...who knows? The point is it's a gamble. It's not absolutely silly and it's certainly not absolutely sensible. Here and now we just can't be sure.

    Hello, it's Ronnie 'Theatre of Dreams' Whelan here, asking you to support my charity, 'Missing Letters in Names'. I first got involved with this great cause when I met the author Roald Dahl, who told me about the harrowing day when he woke up to find that the 'n' in 'Ronald' had just vanished into thin air, and he was faced with a life of being called something that no one could pronounce. Ever since then I have been growing spare chins to raise money to find these missing letters. Our latest cause is Roy Hodgson, who used to be 'Roy Hodgeson' until the 'e' in his surname was kidnapped by gangsters in the mountains of Calabria and was never seen again. Please help us by either growing a spare chin of your own, or donating lots of money. Thank you and God Bless.

    Why not answer it now, you lazy get?

    This is the article that really endeared old Woy to me. He's good taste in literature, and sensible about football. Doesn't mean he'll cope at LFC, but I like the man anyway: 'It's always been a crowning glory to be asked to coach your national team' | Paul Hayward | Football | The Observer

    Woy's wife is a Scouser. Amazing how these little details slip out now.

    Imagine a heatwave, some unemployed bloke sitting stewing in some tiny house somewhere, and then those horns start up - he'll snap. They'll be loads of stories of people going nuts after a week or so of this hooting and droning.

    Lunchtime today: walking down the high street, suddenly what sounded like a swarm of bees started up. It turned out to be loads of little kids coming out of ASDA with those fecking plastic horns. It's going to be bloody murder!

    I think you'll find that's somewhere like Notts County. Talk about spoilt!

    He's got a spare room? Bloody hell, he's expanded his organisation! (Along with his waist. He actually sounds like he's eating a pie even when he isn't eating a pie!)

    I just hope Kenny doesn't walk away over this. I wanted him back for so long it'll be terrible if he leaves again. But him managing would be a gamble for him as well as the club, regardless of what Kenny might think here and now. The only 'safe' way to ensure he keeps his dignity would be to appoint him as caretaker, see how it goes and then, depending on how he fares, either appoint him full-time or thank him for minding the shop and announce a full time manager has finally been found.

    Incredible. I hadn't seen the twat for ages - he's turned into the bloke on Family Guy! And I love that 'okay?' tic of his, like he's trying to explain Hegel to a five year old. What a pompous tosser!

    The Dalglish rumours have really become interesting. He's clearly talking to Winter and Co now via his 'friends' (the telephone). Rather Rafa-like. Here's his new book, which will need delaying by his publishers by the look of it: Kenny Dalglish signs for Hodder | theBookseller.com

    Don't be silly, I wasn't making a strong comparison between them, I was making the point that the obsession with 'big names' is questionable. And don't rewrite history - there was a certain degree of anxiety when Paisley took over and there was quite a bit more when Joe took over, it wasn't all 'Yeah, great, evolution not revolution' - that's been exaggerated retrospectively with the massive benefit of hindsight. At the time, only insiders were REALLY confident about the prospects. There was certainly more trust and faith than now, though, that's true.

    Fagan wasn't a 'big name,' and people knew little about him, but he was given a chance and did superbly well (admittedly with a great squad). I dread to think what whining would have gone on if forums had been around then. Actually Hodgson reminds me a bit of Fagan in terms of personality and tactical style, but who knows how he'll do if he does come - but for chrissakes cut the man some slack and cut out the self-induced masochism.

    Those who point to the appointment of Hodgson as manager as a sign of 'where the club now is' are making some questionable assumptions: how do we know who else fancied the job? The fact that Roy has been offered it is not in itself proof that 'bigger' names didn't fancy it, any more than signing, say, Voronin was proof that better players didn't still fancy playing for us. Who we can afford to get is one factor, who we want, for whatever reasons, is another. I'm not aware that we have enough information to form a clear view as to what Hodgson's appointment 'means' beyond the fact that he's regarded as suitable for at least a short-term project.

    Is he going to bring back the Murphimator when he comes? From Murphy to Mascher to Murphy again.

    The intriguing thing is he's not even considering the possibility that the club might be taken over and get some cash to spend, even whilst those rumours are all over the place. He's talking as though everything else might change except LFC's current poor state. That's quite odd of him, seeing as how happy he is to nick other stories and add them to the mix. It sounds rather like he knows any sources he had at the club have gone and he's moving on. Good riddance!
