He might be incompetent but that's really harsh.

I'm far from happy about the situation, but I don't think anyone can say Roy isn't trying his best.

I think he is a decent man way out of his depth.

He'll probably be given one more game to save his bacon. Lose to Everton and it's goodnight irene.

I once had a date with a woman known as Goodnight Irene. Nice girl, very giving. She lived up to her nickname, that's for sure.

True story.

Rafa said that he wanted to do that but it would take time. It's not something you do in five, six years. It takes 10-15 years to do that.

Are u serious? Rafa was not the right man for LFC & Roy certainly isn't the right man either. Neither of these coaches teams have ever played beautiful football and never will. Solid,functional,tactical,workmanlike but in no way, shape or form havr they or will they ever have their team play beautiful football.

Who do you suggest then?

losing the derby at this stage would be the ultimate insult and a death nail in Roy's coffin.

Kenny, like i always have.

Kenny, like i always have.

And what if his 15 year old tactics turn out to be out of touch, and don't help us?

He has not been hibernating for 15 years though. he actively follows the game and it is an insult to suggest he is out of touch IMO.

Feel free to be insulted.

I think it's a genuine concern.

Hey i'm one of the ones who wanted to give Roy some time, said other week i reckon he has 4-5 games to prove himself and turn it around, thats Sunderland and Blackpool gone now and it ain't looking good, a derby lose would be catostrophic.

Kenny coming in could be the boost that many of our players may well need, we have class at LFC, players haven't suddenly lose their talent, they are just underperforming, and horribly so. Passion, Drive & Enthusiam seems non existent aswell as the other technical stuff, i'd say the ownership situation to be honest is playing on players minds as at the moment the club has no future.

Bringing in Kenny is a risk and you do have a valid point him being out of the game so long, but who cares how old his tactics are football is football, i'm sure he has a very good grasp of todays game and an idea of what type of football LFC should be playing, also i think he is the type of man players will want to respond to, whether the foreign lads can understand him is a different story . Hard one to call, and i agree no point in sacking Roy if nobody else is coming in worthwhile, IMO Kenny would be only suitable candidate, actually probably the only one who'd even want it.

[dom9]

I'd like Kenny, too, but what I said earlier does worry me.

Agree with Kenny coming in, he always speaks sense and he is a Liverpool man, he'd at least be met with approval on and off the pitch and I doubt he'd let the team just sit back the whole season - we need urgency, passion and passing - It's not rocket science - the team had a formation last year and with addition of Meireles, Jova and Cole (and Agger at the back) we can stick to that formation and get at teams - we don't need a Jose Mourinho just someone who knows what football is about and knows how to communicate with people.
