New Manager for Liverpool 2.0

[Irishnev]

I’m certainly not advocating for Owly but this doesn’t paint RDZ in a good light

It's not perception. It's context.

And also, Hodgson is a cunt.

I thought he'd be better off if the pound were stronger than the Euro. On the assumption that he'd be converting his earnings to Euros of course

I do recall him moaning about the strength of GBP going up against the Euro making him earn less & wanting it rectified.
He probably agreed on the salary in Euros at the exchange rate at that time & found that the GBL had up exponentially sharp against the Euro back in the mid-noughties.

Euro vs GBL - a History!

The GBP/EUR rate started in 1999 at just above the €1.40 level.
For its first few years, the Pound gained against the Euro as there were doubts over the Euro’s credibility.
Within a year of the Euros launch, the value of the Pound shot up to €1.752 – which remains an all-time high today!
By 2003, the Pound was back down to the launch rate of €1.40.
From 2003-2007, the GBP to EUR rate was fairly stable. It hovered between €1.40 – €1.50.
During the global financial crisis of 2007/8, the Pound nosedived as the UK government stepped in to prevent a collapse of the British banking system.
In late December 2008, the Pound hit an all-time low of €1.02.
From 2013-2015, the Euro fell heavily as debt problems emerged with the ‘PIGS’ (Portugal, Greece, Spain & Italy). The future viability of the EU was questioned.
In February 2016, the Brexit referendum was announced. The Pound began another steep descent.
On the day of the ‘shock’ result in June 2016, the Pound suffered its biggest ever one-day fall against the Euro of 6.02%.
Since the Brexit vote, the Pound had been clawing its way back up against the Euro (until Coronavirus triggered another sell-off).
In 2022, the Pound got hit again as high inflation and political instability dented confidence.

PIGS!

Alonso and Leverkusen's record.

[Doc_Piptorious]

They are showing real character since the AFCON began. Some of their best players, including their main goal scorer, are away, and they are still managing to turn games where they are a little off their best into wins.

And they have a really good habit of getting late goals that change the result in their favour. Proper fight to the final whistle mentality there.


Once Boniface is back in that team (As long as the injury he got at the AFCON is not a long term one) they are going to have that fast strong cutting edge up front again.

Leverkusen is unbeaten with a couple draws and still only 2 points clear of Bayern... it's like he's made for us and our 107-point 2nd placements
