So bassically your saying,lets wait to see if we go down,then if we do its ok to sack roy?

I think we have enough quality in the team and squad to turn things around and end the season with a top ten finish. The point I am making is give Roy the time to turn things round, he has made mistakes yes but he is still getting used to the Club and players. I think the main problems Roy has had to deal with stem from whats happened before he arrived, we are a Club in decline, a team on the slide who were lucky to finish seventh in the end, players who are feeling sorry for themselves and have hid behind the ownership problems to cover there own incompetencies on the pitch and a previous tyrant of a manager who still hangs over the club like a huge black cloud due to the fans blind loyalty. Roy has a difficult job on his hands if he is to fail, give him time to show us he has failed, it's far too early to judge any manager yet.

So the ownership problems were insignificant to our decline and to a certain degree Rafas decline,if you want to be a mid table team for the whole of the roy years then fair enough but i'm turning 40 next year and i at least want to experience another league title before i start to decline into old age and dementia.

Can't help yourself mate can you. Last seasons table doesn't lie, we finished seventh cus that's what we where worthy of. However, giving Roy time till the end of the season, nah. He's got till Christmas, we've had a good performance today from what I've heard, cudnt make it today ad a christening today so will watch the full match tonight. We've got four away games coming up and our Next two games, Bolton away and chelsea at home. I can still only seeing us getting one point.

am afraid you need to start getting a bit wiser am the same age and I have accepted the fact I cant see Liverpool winning leagues anymore. The game has moved on and although we have a big name in history we stopped being a big club and major player a long time ago. I am not being a defeatist just a realist, our problem was that we let the grass grow under our feet under Peter Robinson and John Smith and never built from a position of strenghth to the point that clubs caught us up and then overtook us. We might pick up cups here and there over the years but whats happened to us happend to the likes of Leeds United and Everton before and I cant see them winning leagues either, History is fantastic to talk about and look back on but unfortunately it does'nt get you nothing present day which is the most important.

If you look more closely at the league table we were lucky we built up a few points early on because if you look at the final few months of the season we were going backwards big time and hardly won, I will go as far as to say if the season had gone on for another week then Everton would of finished above us because they finished alot stronger then we did. This is one of the reasons why the form for last season has continued into this season and why it requires time to turn things around.

Dont confuse wisdom with being an egotistical dik.
