How the hell has it got so bad? I lay the blame at Rafa's door, he can say he's been underfunded if he likes but i just think he's bought rubbish. Hes spent a lot of money on average players simple as that

i have to agree completely - he may well have not got as much money as some, but it is up to him to spend what he has got wisely .... you only have to look at the players on the pitch to see he hasn't spent well

At least he shows dignity unlike some other managers.
He wasnt giving excuses after we loss even after the beach ball incident
Bruce is an arse

I want an English Manager someone who understands Liverpool's situation.

We had english owners they didnt understand the way forward, they brought in foreiners, then we have foreign players. I reckon may the best man get the job. yea

If he german,spanish,argentinian, brazilian, just make it happen:)

I would much rather have the team we have now than the team we had in 2005, even Rafa was amazed he won the Champions League with predominately Houllier's old players.

i would agree with you if there were someone good enough, but there isn't...

you can't even find an englishman for your national team...

i don't care where the new manager comes from (if we'll get one), i only care about if he's good enough for lfc...

Sorry player for player there is not much in the 2005-2006 team than the one now, not much at all, only difference is nearly 200 million pounds worth of players have been and gone from the club since.

Totally agree!! Manager's are jugded on their signings and although he's bought some great players they are in the minority and most of the rest are just way out of their depth in the premiership!

Exluding Stevie G and Carra who were in both squads I'd rather have Torres than Baros, Reina than Dudek, Agger and Skrtel than Hyppia and Traore, Mascherano just edges it over Hamman, Johnson rather than Finnan, Benayoun/Riera rather than Garcia/Kewell.
