I’ve commented on another thread about the repeated claims that Little Lee ‘Loved this Club’ (With zero evidence) Have tbf to BT on one thing - I genuinely believe he absolutely does

Joe Jordan who didn’t have a coaching badge ..... or a day of coaching or managerial experience Yes he didn’t do too bad 3 World Cups , a bit of British Silverware - pfffff over rated

They are like the old weather clocks , one in , one out , one in , one out

Or maybe it’s what players have said about him , his help and guidance , or maybe the experience of being a player who has won L1 ,Championship and the Premier League and what that entails and is required , International Football His coaching qualifications Maybe a few of these things too eh Ironically We had 4 **^^^* years of wonder boy and since ‘But he gert loves the club’. (With zero evidence) Ffs

Darren Ferguson and Grant McCann say ‘hold my beer ‘

Linked with us, possibly a couple of times (Manager wise) IIRC RIP

Just about all the acclaimed football philosophies and blueprint look on hold atm don’t they Leaving aside any LM overall assessment to date to one side, he doesn’t look an obvious fit for the Technical Director which is in itself bizzare , unless the DoF has scrapped and rewritten the blueprint in the last couple of months Front Foot Football Pace and runners Academy Pathway

A fool I won’t start in some of your football opinions But shall we talk about that all ‘a big fuss over nothing ‘ .............. COVID Fools eh

Really - his shortish spell at Liverpool Academy ? Or have I missed a spell ? I’d suggest GON and AK would have very similar CVS and fair play to GON he’s grabbed his chance and puts a dent in your theory Does it mean AK would / will have similar ‘ success’ , no of course not but I’d have a little wager that he will end up doing someone a decent job Personally Id take a chance on AK before a LJ type appointment with his ‘experience CV’ for example

Gary O’Neil with less of a playing CV , a similar character I’d suggest , both quietish intelligent , He had zero experience ... and fwiw didn’t have Kings coaching qualifications when he set out

Gut feeling is we could actually latch onto something good - he appears potentially to have a lot of the necessary skill set to do well as a HC / manager But it won’t happen in a hundred years as Manning won’t be sacked and if he was we’d actually be more likely to reappoint LJ

Yes , very unlikely unfortunately Incredible charisma and leader - The Manager Id want as No 1 if I owned a Club

Not disagreeing anything you’ve said Bex But IMO evaluation process should be ongoing and not just about the outcome of the next 12 games If BT particularly , is professional and competent in his position, he is literally around LM , staff and players all day every day and should be quietly watching , listening , his coaching , the effect in and response of players , his man management , and a whole host of things we don’t see If he’s professional and competent he should be ruthlessly LM (Or whoever in that post) to professionally confirm their opinion , that they have the right man , or be honest internally and start to accept that there are some issues. With a DoF , Technical Director and Head Coachset up that is absolutely the No 1 priority for any DoF / TD , at any club. The appointment and change is one thing but what would actually be totally unforgivable that this evaluation is not done professionally and ‘impartially’ By now with results and performances part of the picture , Tinnion , by now should be in a position and had time , including dealing with a transfer window together , to give a pretty accurate debrief regarding just about every aspect of LM to the Lansdowns and in essence whether he believes LM is still the right man. Isnt that the simple reality ? Whether Tinnion is the right man to be doing that is of course a debate, and whether he is open to admitting an error (If that was to be the case) but it’s time to step and be seriously judged Brian.... LM may get the engine rolling and build something good , in which case BT will , and rightly take the credit due But, if LM does transpire to be not what they hoped or expected and they compound what’s gone before and do nothing about it , or shut their eyes , then the events of the last 6-12 months will pale into significance IMO

Klopp to replace Southgate after Euros ?

Fair play Liverpool and fair play to Klopp for brave brave substitutions Kelleher MOM or Konate who I Thought was magnificent

So in summary You prefer bulls***s , than those who are straight Not a great shock As for ‘Nigel Pearson did nothing to unite or galvanise city while he was here’ Ive posted about the blind who didn’t look , didn’t watch , ungrateful , and had no concept of what was actually going on , and actually deserve L1 — Congratulations on your Membership

No sorry , I wasn’t suggesting you were criticising him , but making the point about what the fans consider Hes been criticised about fist pumps and that’s what I was referring too

Totally agree , it’s clearly not ‘him’ and he clearly does so or started to do so because the fans wanted him to do it Always looks a bit awkward and to some degree he’s damned if he does , damned if he doesn’t Not something to over scrutinise or criticise him for IMO My advice to him would be , be himself , and if that means a quick thumb up and disappearing down the tunnel then so be it Bottom line is If he gets results on the pitch he can do whatever he wants post match and will be popular

Very good

Pat Mountain ? (Credit that we are doing ok notching from set pieces too) And confidence by the moving on of Dan Bentley and being the clear No 1 , I would think too M

And it certainly won’t have been Gavin Marshall will it ! It’s %million a BT steer

When BT made repeated noises about a playing philosophy and they type of profile players we were going to be recruiting from now on , I actually thought it was one of the best and most promising sound bites to come out from the Club in years (I know you’ve posted and explained before that this philosophy was drawn up by RG & NP) Its what any Club should do and what we needed to do for decades - great Then we appoint Liam and it is abundantly clear that he is nothing about ‘front football’ and his philosophies and ideal player profile , don’t well fit with the one we had finally established and were following and recruiting too Mind Boggling

Firstly would you be keen to invest and work with the Lansdowns , but have no voice

It’s pretty clear what will happen here if it all goes wrong They will sack Gavin Marshall

Like the truth you mean Some honesty .... I think having to run Jon to the BRI with that crayon wedged in his ear was what did it
