hes got a ok cv, but he inherited matinez work,style and squad at swansea. so i 'd prefer martinez. just seems a little underwhelming to me. players didn't want kenny gone and now in comes some northern irish hardhead. think the players might have been more interersted in a spanish approach.

If the new manager can improve our 9% conversion rate into 15+ % then he will be safe & celebrated at the end of the season..

As I originally said, we should have kept Kenny.

He got us to 2 cup finals, hardly his foot we have a squad of players not worthy of the red shirt is it?

3) They know crap about football. Period. And yet they want to make executive decisions in running the club.

4) They don't know what it means to do business the LFC way. Never in my life have I witnessed such circus-like drama in the media over the selection of our manager. I will cringe if we leave it to them to sign players. They will make sure the eskimos in North Pole hears about our targets before making any offers.

5) They are known to be ruthless and I respect them for that. But it will only work if they know what they're doing like baseball. Not in a foreign sport that they know feck all about.

6) Once this newly appointed manager fails to deliver again next summer, they will probably fire and hire again. All paid by the club's coffers.

We're becoming an american franchise.


Look at Barca in 2003 and how they restructured the club in its entirity.Its this "Liverpool way" that left us in the quicksand during the nineties and all our rivals were moving with the times.Too much emphasis on the manager i think and FSG maybe trying to get an infrastructure in place where the manager will only be a cog in a bigger machine.

The circus as someone called has been created by the media Liverpool or FSG have said nothing and denied nothing. They are not to blame for the media circus.Its all the speculative know nothings. Let us see what happens and give FSG time to put their money where their mouths are.

stop saying they have spent 100million, they have not!. Mr Henry's wallet so far is missing 30-35million depending on whose figures you look at. For 3 transfer windows that is rather a low figure for a team who have not finished above 6th in the previous two seasons. This has not been an open spend policy, argueably the net spend on compensation is as much the net spend on players.
