I agree,therefore polls like this are irrelevant.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

'we're ready for it. in fact we're always ready for it. it's our job to constantly be aware of other managers, their strengths etc... and whether they'd fit into our way of doing things.'

I guess it's like any well run organisation. You can't sit back and take things for granted. You should have a continuity/contingency plan... whatever it's called... in the event that something happened to key personnel.

Now in this thread, I haven't gone as far as suggesting replacements. All I've done is in effect ask 'Does BR need to achieve a certain league ranking to keep his job at the end of the season?'. I really don't see what's disgraceful about that?


As long as this puppet yes man keeps us mid table thats plenty good enough for the yanks,the LFC franchise returns healthy profits for very minimal investment and a bargain initial investmet.They are not here to win things or forge a bond with us,they are money merchants lining their pockets from our clubs heritage and history.

Why's that then? A good manager will improve the team much quicker than 2 years!

Back to the poll though, it shows how well FSG have managed the expctations (brainwashed) a large portion of fans. 1 in 4 Liverpool fans would settle for a top half finish!!!!! Jesus Fvcking Christ!!!



The team has improved.

I guess that depends on what you call improvement. On one hand we're ever so slightly better off in the league, but on the other hand we're out of all cup competitions. I'd say we're no better off than last year, despite spending an extra £55m - does that not sound like poor management?

I respect your opinion and in a sense you are correct but i feel that our performances over the season were the best we have had in a long time. We can look back at most games and only wonder how we lost 3 points or drew games after totally dominating games and playing decent football. Take the 2 Man City games for instance. Yes we out of the cups and our league position not ideal but there is definate improvement in the team. A few good signing this summer and we will not be far off!!

The way people harp on about cup runs you'd think we win it every year - it's not a given you know.

The money was spent on the manager bringing in a few of his own players to install his own system (c'mon, even you must have been able to see that.)

We're playing a shed load better than last season, we're a shed load more stable than last season - the moral... everything is better than last season, bar that massive league cup trophy (the mickey mouse I think they call it - why's that???)

Atleast BR didn't fork out 35mil for Carroll - infact made his intentions clear and showed him the door - had the genius to move Henderson in off the wing and actually got Downing to score a goal...

I'd say that's better than last season... wink

Sacking the manager and starting again is not going to improve lfc, we need to keep building, the only other way to do it is spend bucket loads of cash, and we dont have that aparently.

I don't understand why people make a fuss of threads like this, the OP asked a question, answer it or don't.

I don't like continuosly demanding time for managers to get things right, or constantly using Fergie as an example of the virtues of patience, but unless there's a major collapse, I don't think we can sack the guy in the summer. We'll probably finish 6th anyway.

He didn't have that much to spend and was left with a thin squad. He's not set the world alight either and I don't think we should keep harping on about missed chances or the Man City game (same Man City who lost to some bottom half team the week after - Southampton was it? I wonder if there fans go on about beating the Champions and how they'll win it next year).

If he spends 30-40m in the summer and we have a similar season to this, he should go. I honestly think next season he must be challenging for 4th. Forget the carling cup, 2 seasons is plenty of time to play his way and average out any excuses of luck or defensive mistakes.
