Robbie Fowler

[Lee]

My 2nd fave player of all time, but from a club point of view - it was the right time to sell him. Infact only a year later Leeds offered him back to us for £6m. Houllier correctly declined.

My favourite player of all time.

Hmm, I dunno mate. We got £11m for him and spent it on ****e like Diouf. It was pretty much the signing of Heskey that pushed Fowler out of the door and God was superior to both him and Owen.

I suppose you could look at the fact we picked up £11m for an injury-prone player but I do wonder whether that would've changed had he stayed. I remember reading in his book that he really fell out of love with the game at City.

Robbie says in his book that he turned City down as he'd been told Houllier was trying to bring him back.
He was then told that the board wouldn't let Houllier spend any money on anyone as he's ****ed up with Diouf and Diao so then he met again with Keegan and decided to sign for City.

LFC should hire him to be the LFC ambassador in Asia or something

He's UK based though.

I'm sorry but leaving Robbie to coach our players, is a bit like leaving Bernard Matthews to look after your turkey

Agree on Bernard. Depending on your point of view, he is either responsible for the biggest ornithological genocide of recent times or he is the greatest farmyard to table strategist of the last 100 years

They are coming in as academy coaches. McManaman too.

[meffin]

Will they be wearing these?

[Muddled]

No.

Has McManaman had any coaching roles at any clubs so far?

[G]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Lee]

Interesting move this.

Where'd you hear about it G?
