    Here's what he said.


    TB: Purslow is going to take his share of the credit for the role he played in removing Hicks and Gillett.....

    .....then he must also take his share of the blame for the state that Liverpool got themselves in on the pitch last summer.

    TB: Roy Hodgson was Purslow's appointment. Joe Cole was pursued by Purslow from early in the year even though Benitez didn't want him

    TB: Purslow inserted clauses in the contracts of Reina and Torres which will allow both to leave this summer if certain conditions are met

    TB: Purslow told Pep he could choose his own GK coach after Valero left only for Pep to have 68-year-old Mike Kelly foisted upon him.

    TB: Purslow is still at the club in a non-executive role, ie in title only. He has no influence on the owners or their decisions.

    TB: I've got to hold my hands up and admit that right now I have no real ideas about who Liverpool are looking at this month.

    TB: The manager has just changed + I've got feeling that will mean the profile of players LFC are looking to recruit will change also.

    TB: RH prioritised height + while it's true LFC are lacking in this department I've got a feeling that......

    ......Dalglish will put skill, passing ability and speed higher on his list of requirements.

    TB: At least there is no longer a need 2 worry about the Carlton Cole or Robert Huth inflicting their journeyman abilities on club though.

    TB: LFC have definitely been keeping tabs on Suarez, both DC + his predecessor Macia have been regular watchers of Ajax this season.

    TB: I'm not sure a move for Suarez is imminent but I keep hearing the same rumours as you

    TB: Half of Europe's top clubs are now aware of Lukaku but he's deffo the kind of promising young player that LFC should be looking at.

    TB: I like Owen Coyle, he's a very promising manager who plays the game the right way + is also steeped in philosophies of Shanks + Kenny

    TB: Shanks and Kenny are Coyle's heroes. If Liverpool were to look to a British manager then he would be the obvious choice

    TB: Kenny undoubtedly wants the job long term, there is no question about that.

    TB: NESV have created a monster by appointing KD. If LFC do even remotely well no one will want him to leave the manager's position

    TB: but the owners have their hearts set on a younger man.

    TB: Dalglish will definitely give the younger players a chance and don't be surprised if he fast tracks a couple of kids from the academy

    TB: I can't see Poulsen or Konchesky being Liverpool players come the start of the next season

    TB: Momentum + positivity that has been greeted by KD's return now needs to be built upon

    TB: And what better way to do that than signing a few quality players to improve the squad?

    Some interesting stuff.

    re purslow, he's a cock like but before everyone has hissy fits about inserting the clauses in reina and torres contracts...there may be another side to this ie - for all we know, they might have said they are going to leave and purslow, in persuading them to stay had to offer them certain clauses - without them they may already have left??

    just saying...

        Or, can't remember where I heard it but read somewhere that Torres' release clause was £50m, or MORE specifically for United

        Not sure there's too much wrong with that myself?
        I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"

          Joe Cole, I had (and still have) my doubts about him, doesn't surprise me in the slightest that it's a signing pressed on by Purslow. All there is to understand about this transfer is that we made a massive profit with Benayoun going in the opposite direction, that was Purslow's main talents it seems.

          As for Kenny, I'd like him to be a success and the owners to give him the job long term on a one year rolling contract, or at least have him for a prominent role within the club if they want to give a young manager a chance. I had my reservations but seeing him in the manager's seat again does seem right, the perfect fit.
          Are we winning?

            I doubt that we made any profit if you count Cole's signing on fee.

                The rumour was Rafa wanted Chamakh, Purslow (and Gerrard & Carragher) wanted J.Cole and we didn't have the money for both so Chamakh deal got pulled at the last minute

                      Regardless of rumours, Chamakh said from minute one Arsenal were his favoured choice. We'd have never got him. I doubt a deal got pulled for Chamakh, remember we also signed Jovanovic which was Rafas choice.

                        The Chamakh deal was actually on the verge of going through - he was as good as ours - until Purslow ****ed it up by trying to insert a ridiculous clause.

                          really?? i was always under the impression that we tried, but he was waiting for Arsenal to come in for him and the moment they showed an interest that was that.
