Firstly, I have no idea why people use Matteo as a reference point for top managers haha, he's been at Chelsea a matter of weeks, inherited them in 4th or 5th place, in the running for the FA cup and in the running for the CL. All he did was finish the job off. Equivalent to somebody baking a cake and him running along and dropping some sprinkles on top. Besides, he's mates with half the team, how hard could it be to get them motivated, especially when their mood was at an all time low before. It's no different to Kenny come in for us for the last part of the season, gave everyone a lift and it produced some results, but it's like a false sense of security. Di Matteo can't be judged until he spends a full season in control (if he does), like Kenny did. We know what happened there.
Anyway, to the point at hand. I just think I've resigned to the feeling that it's going to be an exciting season ahead WHOEVER we appoint and they're going to get my full backing. There are people I'd prefer over others, and a few of them seem to be out of the race now, heck I even like the idea of Rafa back, but like I said, whoever comes in, full support. Who knows, Martinez might click with our players, make a couple of great Spanish signings, boost morale with his portrayal of the club in the media, work well with FSG's plan and a new DOF and we can become a huge success again. If I learnt anything from last season, between us finishing 8th, Chelsea scraping the CL, City pipping United to the post, Newcastle finding incredible form for the first time in years to become a top club, Swansea and Norwich taking the game to everyone and finishing around mid table, Villa coming within a game of being relegated, Spurs being in the running for winning the game in the first half of the season based on their form, us beating the likes of United and City, a Gerrard hatrick in a Mersey derby but still losing to teams such as Wigan and QPR, between All of that, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. Things have never been so open. So chill out in the sun to the Euro's, see who gets appointed manager, get excited about potential signings all summer but most importantly, get behind WHOEVER takes the helm. As that's the Liverpool way, and the fans of this club can be like an extra player at times, so remind everyone what makes LFC great and live up to the reputation of being some of the best fans around the world.

He deserves credit without a doubt, but really he just kept the ship steady, exactly what Dalglish did when he took us over.

i think your right in sayin its gonna be an exciting summer the new manager is surely gonna get some funding and be interesting to see who comes and goes, im finding it difficult to think kk steadyed the ship after spendin vast amounts of money and leadin us to a lower finish than last season is hard to take but thats gone now i suppose as you said just got to get behind whoever comes

I was referring the latter part of the season that Kenny took over, not the season just gone.

I don't think he's gonna get huge funding possibly 25-30 mil. He'll hopefully be able to sell on a few players though to boost it.
Aquilani (sell or keep- no more loans)- 5-7 mil
Cole- 5mil
Adam- 4-6 mil
Kuyt - 1-2 mil
If we managed to sell those 4 players it would reduce the wage bill easily by 300,000 a week and give a working budget of 40-45 mil which coupled with smart free signings, ie hoilett, can give the new manager a good base from which to start this year and build.

The two of them were at the 70% off sales. Bargain shopping anyone?!
