Pack your bags Roy

****ing well said. who ever said it.

Bring Rafa back Today.

I don't want Deschamps. I want someone that "gets" us, not someone who's going to take years to figure us out. Whether he's British or not, couldn't give a flying ****, but Deschamps doesn't sit right with me.

Truth is, I don't trust Comolli to make the right appointment.

[Lecter]

Have to say, was pretty clueless about football journos in the run up to all this hodgson saga.

Only bit i paid attention to was a piece Barclay did year before last about Liverpool being Rafas new machiand how they would win the league.

Now, the only one i think has been decent is henry winter, probably because he purports to have ties with kenny.

Like his tweets anyway....

As for Barclay, he is a WUM.

I think Winter has been atrocious over the whole Rafa / Roy saga

Truely woeful journalism from him

I don't think the being French thing is an issue. As you said, he has the playing pedigree, he's young and could build a long term legacy if it works out. I very happy about the idea.

Most of us know it's not an issue but there are still some who fall for the Sky bollocks and the 'Redknapisms'. What we don't want is the divisions we've seen during the last 12 years or so. Continuous success & instant improvement is the key IMO, that will buy any manager time.

I wonder if the delay is because the owners are negotiating with their right man and trying to convince him to come now?

I wonder how Dalglish's cruise off Dubai is going? Next boat? Ferry across the Mersey? If so, hope he gets Carragher in as 1st mate.

In 2008 the BBC described Didier as a 'competent English speaker'. fyi

[Fredo]

He doesn't like pink though apparently

Oh lord, did he really say that?

I hear you, but out of the names being bandied about, who really 'gets us'?

[CJ]

Yes, it's impossible to argue otherwise.

have you met craig

I'd be very surprised if he was booted out before Sundays game, it would be very unliverpool like. I was calling for him to be given time, but I've seen enough now. The same lethargic performances are there from the end of the Rafa reign. Roy hasn't inspired the players. His squad or not, what was needed was somebody to change the mood in the camp, create harmony and get the best out of what was there. I thought he was the right man for the job, I hold my hands up and say I was wrong.

I was utterly convinced he was a million miles for being the right man for the job and it took him only days to prove me right.

The performances this year are in no way linked to Rafa's reign. This old fool has brought in poor players and imposed an outmoded system of play on the team and introduced a proactively negative playing style, letting the other team have the ball, defend at all costs and hope we can pinch one at the other end and sit on it.

His main fault apart from innate incompetence was in introducing a totally different playing method and buying extremely bad players. Rafa's legacy could not have had less to do with the situation that has arisen under Hodgson

It's the worst football I've seen us play in half a century and Rafa's reign does indeed look like a golden age by comparison

I think the most important thing is that they get the manager they want in the summer, it is important that the decision taken now does not scupper that. It's for that reason that I think they wanted to persevere with Roy for one joyless season. Unfortunately Roy's ineptitude is now endangering our summer plans and so there has to be a change of emphasis.

Well for starters, Roy "gets us' relegated...
