Am not blaming just you for using it, but the " we are 2 or 3 players away from being this or that " has to be one of the most overused cliche's in football. In all honesty how many team's can say that and how long have we used it ourselves over the last 20 odd years and we are no closer.

Kenny was at the helm when we fell from grace in 1991. Yes we won the league in 1990 but if you were around back then you will know there were cracks all over the place. We have had our moments since then but never got it back what we had. Other teams moved forward while we stood still. And thats the upshot of it. Its my belief this was more to do with off field and the club than any manager. Kenny had lost it but had we got the club right another manager could have taken us to the title but we never had the resources. Sounesss wanted to signed Roy Keane but we were not in the game had we been able to sign players like him and others at the time the premiership started who knows what would have happened.

Original post was utter nuts. Raul in the premier league? Now!? It'd be like Morientes plus a Zimmer Frame! Sessegnon - you've gotta be kidding me that'd be like signing Ngog's twin brother. As for De Rossi! 5M! 5 Million what? Peanuts!! That's what this post is - utter nuts. Menace2U I share your frustrations but you need a little love in your world.

all in all souness was probably the worst manager ever at lfc and we still have nt recovered from his shocking reign.

Sounness was a ddisaster. As mentioned in another thread, he didn't want Cantona either. He got rid of our good players and replaced them with tosh.


That was my recollection of it. Maybe there was more to it, but anything to do with Souey chasing Keane at the time is certainly news to me too. Suppose it's kind of irrelevant at this stage anyway.

Kenny wanted Keane for Blackburn,Fergie pipped him and Kenny went nuts according to Keane,he probably did go mad but Keane has an issue with exaggerating alot of things.

I've just finished reading kenny's book for the 2nd time - keane was almost a liverpool player. He was never going to blackburn.

Upon reading that back, I've put those 2 clubs the wrong way round. :-)

So in other words: He was never a LFC player and he was never a Blackburn player either? wink
