you've got to wonder what goes through his mind, if anything.

He must be happy like a pig in ****.

Roy Hodgson ffs.

I mean I respect the guy, but at Liverpool? That's way out of his league.

Maybe 15 years ago, but it's not like he's about to build a dynasty is it?

A steadying presence. Better than the likes of Jurgen ****ing Klinsmann that those cunts wanted to foist on us a couple of seasons back

Well, yeh, I mean don't get me wrong. Actually I like the guy, he's just a little too old and a little too ..... 2nd grade...

Still better than gutter grade Klinsmann, granted.

I just don't understand how he would have lost that dressing room so quickly. Either there's an element of truth in that or that is all bollocks being fed by Purslow and al.

Feels like the club is downgrading...

Maybe because we lost 19 games in one season?

Nail on head.

It does feel like that.

I can't see anything else if we get rid of Rafa.

Echo reporting 'reports' now. Looks like his numbers up. Shame.

It's my view that steven gerrard and maybe torres have let it be known that they will look for out if Rafa remains as coach. Rafa has even fallen out with yossi. I believe that in the long haul this could be good for the club if he goes. Too many bad decisions that you cannot leave at our dumbass owners steps for me.

If the Gerrard and Torres thing is true, it's firstly disgraceful that players call the shots regarding the manager. However, if it guarantees keeping that pair, then that's a small crumb of comfort.

Sky Sports reporter has named Hiddink and Avram Grant (!!!) as two names who 'keep coming up'.

It cuts deeper than that, the manager's not the only one to blame for 19 defeats. What about selling Alonso and not reinvesting player sales in the squad?

For a start, I would imagine the players getting behind their manager as opposed to siding with those cunts.

SSN say replacements may be either Avram Grant of Guus Hidink

My money would be on Rijkaard.
