And that dispicable, dispisable, distgusting cunt who used to managed Sheffield Utd (so good I can't remember his name)

Dave Bassett? Bryan Robson?

Xenophobic old fogey.

And why should we "take away the night in Istanbul"? WTF is he on about? I suspect even he has no idea.

I wouldn't have expected much less from an inhabitant of our angriest colony. You would have thought that, coming from a community of dudes that actually take pride in strutting about in skirts, a bit more of an openminded attitude might have been forthcoming. I suppose that's what happens when you have a bottle of Buckfast for your breakfast though.

If British, who?

Redknapp is a joke. MoN is unpopular. Hughes is unproven. Hodgson is not up to it. Allardyce is fat. Curbishley is, well Curbishley. Dave Bassett?

Neil Warnock

What a shambolic list. We would be better off with this Brit

Rafa Benitez should not have been sacked but there are other good managers around, managers who can give the team a boost as things seemed to be going stale last season. Whether Rafa could have turned this around is anyone's guess but he deserved the chance.

As for the owners, I think it's quite clear the club's looking for new owners and this might resolve itself during the summer.

So I wouldn't necassirily say we're ****ed.

Because him and Purslow are buddies (and have been for years), if you believe some of the press reports / rumours

The rumours go that it was Purslow and NOT Rafa who brought him back to the club and that Kenny has been advising Purslow / the board accordingly on Rafa's performance

That's even more intriguing. Do you have any info on whether that mean Dalglish:
Had concluded Rafa needed to go and whether he was behind any decision last year to limit funds for Rafa?
Is on side with the hierarchy including owners?

[redstaralex]

I can see Thomspon being approached for discussions

wouldn't be too displeased with Hodgson, he's done well with all his international teams so knows how to get the best out of players and he had the odd big player to control, you could say he's punched above his weight with Fulham but there are a few who said the same when about Benitez after Istanbul, although obviously not Liverpool fans

redknapp can **** right off and if o'neill comes I'm giving up on footy

We can all concoct a plausible enough story here. I reckon Dalglish deserves our respect of playing it by the book and not politicking against Rafa until proved otherwise.

Look, fandangled is not a word. New fandangled is not a well known phrase. It's fangled, always has been.

might have been a word for a while

Damn it Marsh. Now I look like a tit.

AH, well if it's on urban dictionary, it must be a real word. Along with 'snowpocalypse'.

well there being a reference to it in 2007 means it was in use.

whetehr its a proper word i dont know but it is in use and has been for a while

Thanks Marsh
