all managers have bad and good buys. he hasn't had any real money to play with .he was buying in tesco not harrods.
How rich that you say this, but criticize Rafa who was in the same position. Get over yourself, emp. It doesn't matter how you look at it, net spend, gross spend, bad buys etc, Roy is no better than Rafa in the transfer market. And you HATE Rafa for the way he conducted transfer business, but Roy is a saint? You're a joke.
Like it or not, Roy will be here until the summer. The reasons are fairly simple - the owners do not trust any of the managers out there without jobs more than they trust Roy. Read into this what you like, whether you feel that makes Roy special or lumps them all together in the sh*t pile makes no difference. NESV have a record of being winners in sports, and they probably do not trust the current crop of selectable managers to be "winning" enough. Why be forced to pick from managers who have just been sacked rather than wait to pick someone who wins his league and may be enticed with money and increased challenge?
Should they decide that Roy too is not "winning" enough (and frankly if they can't see that from his results with us and with other clubs in the last decade, from the way he handles his press conferences etc then let's just say I'd be very surprised), then the best way to replace him is to butter up someone they DO think has that quality between now and the end of the season, when all bets are off and anyone can change jobs.
So just because he's still here doesn't mean they like him, emp - or do
you claim to know their ideas?
They have to weigh up the risk of missing European football (and the loss of quality players who will come to LFC as a result) by staying with this clown vs the risk of missing European football by replacing the manager with someone they don't necessarily trust mid-season. They're in a difficult position.
