I put a comma in, just for people such as yourself who are so concerned about Net grammar and spelling, and are unable to take an educated guess at what something means.

I'm not really concerned about it that much, it just DIDNT make sense immediately, that's all. Despite what you may think, i dont just pick arguments for the sake of it, i post what i genuinely feel. Often, i agree with you and post accordingly.

There's nothing personal here fella, i can assure you.

Appreciate the edit though.

Yeah, that's a fair concern.

He might, however, be the kinda bloke who is used to instant success, after ploughing so much cash into things.

Hypothetically, if he gave Rafa say £120m to spend next summer, would it not be fair to suggest that we should be coming MIGHTY close to winning the title, if not actually win it next season?

Granted new players usually need time to gel, but if they're that good, you can still win games while they're gelling, as Chelsea did with all those scrappy 1-0s they had when JM first arrived.

I wouldnt be surprised if the top man took that kind of train of thought, and i dont think it'd be wholly unfair of him to do so.

120m doesn't guarantee anything tho does it, Chelsea and man u will strengthen as well, coupled in with the fact I don't see Rafa spending that amount anyway.

He'll most likely get the money for the players he's identified, but I doubt they'll go here Rafa burn this 120m on who you like.

After the handbags, back to the original question which I think was....
"How would you react to Maureen as LFC manager"

My answer - I'd hate it if he carried on as he does at the moment. It would certainly curb my attention to football. LFC doesn't need or (I hope) want such a gob ****e

That's a really difficult one. I dont hate the bloke, but i dont really respect him that much either. He's an excellent manager, but it's hard to take him seriously when he comes out with some of the stuff he does.

And the kinda stuff he gets involved with, eg the Anders Frisk nonsense, would be hard to take.

It doesnt guarantee anything, nothing really does.

BUT, at some point, you draw the line and say 'look, for the amount we have spent, we really should be winning the title' and i dont think £120m is far off that, considering what we've already got at our disposal.

That's a really difficult one.

Sorry, but not for me. There are some prices that aren't worth paying; thats one one of them.

I agree, but one season isn't enough even 2 seasons might not do it. Providing we're up there fighting till may and not languishing in 3rd/4th, I'll be happy.

Depends if he'd be the same as he is now, i reckon.

I'm interested in why you feel so emphatically that one season isnt enough.

It was enough for Chelsea, and with the right amount of money (that amount obviously differs for different clubs), it'd be enough for anyone. That's what i think anyway.

You argue that Rafa's a better manager than Jose, and i'd probably agree overall.

So why do you think Rafa couldnt get a bunch of new, top class players to gel enough, to win the title, while Jose obviously could?

(Your posts imply that you think that way, apologies if you dont.)

[Craig_H]

Fair play OldManRed.

Because there wasn't a Chelsea around when Mourinho came in was there, in essence it's was easier for him to win the title than it will be for Rafa.

Mourinho came in at an opportune time, when Arsenal were looking a bit shakey and Man U we're an the decline. He got his two titles in that space of time, Man U have since brought in new players and solved some of their problems and are giving Chelsea a run for their money now. Arsenal are still trying to recover and I think will have a job trying to do so. But that means there's now 2 teams we've got to usurp to win the title, and both teams are playing very well at the moment.

[Poker]

My feelings exactly but I think the masses will forgive anything for the title

Fair points. I think the elusiveness of the CL has thrown Chelsea's attention a little off course and they're looking far more human than they had been in previous seasons. United, on the other hand, without the squad or money of Chelsea, look invincible at the moment. Whether that will last a whole season remains to be seen. If Chelsea fail to win the CL this year and United turn 'human' again, i dont think they'd seem like such irresistable forces next season as they might do now.

Exactly, you can never predict what will happen, everyone expected to us to go and push for the top spot this season and it never happened. The mancs or chavs could just as easily fall from grace, in the way Arsenal have.

[DeeGame]

Fair enough, why read mine, when you've got nearly two and a half thousand of your own?

I'm sorry that your post, to which i referred, made no coherent sense.

the good old arguementative dj syd is back :whatever:
