  1. I’d prefer football on a Friday night. Gives you entire weekend to do what you please then. However, I know they’re a lot of people who live for football on a Saturday.
  2. I do wonder if he’s had enough of dealing with FSG and their lack of transfer activity and going after top targets. They’re not the biggest spenders compared to other clubs around them. Perhaps Klopp has had enough working on a limited budget. Especially now with the likes of Salah, Roberson, Van Dijk etc moving into their 30s. You do feel Liverpool will need major investment once more in 2-3 years. Which perhaps FSG are not willing to back. Hence why he’s decided to call it a day at the end of the season rather than end of his contract which is the summer of 2026. In terms of his next move. Would he favour Munich? Or he is too much in love with Dortmund still to go to Munich? Cannot see him in France as the lack of competition may drive him mad. He is the ideal fit for Real Madrid as they have such a young squad with some of the most talented youngsters in many many years. Can see him waiting until Ancelotti is gone.
  3. With all his coaching staff leaving with him. It makes sense to bring Alonso and all his staff. A sad day for English football.
  4. Xabi Alonso odds on?
  5. Well done SC. Good luck!
  6. Benzema now the next one looking to get out
  7. Still living rent free in your head
  8. How many other clubs put on an event like we did Saturday for a cup round win 30 years ago against one of the worst Liverpool sides in its history? If it was a cup final, then I can understand it. It’s not like we beat Bayern Munich with 2 goals in injury time to lift the Champions League. There isn’t a hatred for Tinnion. But a big displeasure over his position he currently holds with the club without the relevant experience or knowledge to be in such a vital role. He’s also responsible for the removal of one of the top managers we’ve had who has helped steady this ship from relegation without any real funding. He has somewhat tarnished his legacy at the club due to events in the last couple of seasons. There is nothing wrong with pointing that out.
  9. Likewise. To be even more negative I can’t even see where we could nick a point. Possibly Boro and maybe Coventry. Our record against Leeds is woeful.
  10. Not always. Experienced players set standards to the younger players. Something we never had under DH or LJ. King was brought in for this number one reason in my view. It’s helped rid laziness and players who hide in changing rooms at the training ground.
  11. Zak has done well to get to the level he has and the hardwork and development under Pearson has come to fruition. I was one calling for him to be released and felt he was a league one player at best. However, he has proved himself a championship defender in my book. But not one that will help us take us to the next level. He is extremely casual at times and does have a mistake in him to lose the ball more than once in a game. Again, if we’re serious about challenging for the top 6. We would need an upgrade on Zak.
  12. It will be. However I feel the club (JL and BT) see King as part of the Pearson setup. I think we all know they would like all traces of Pearson removed.
  13. Manning will go nowhere anytime soon if things don’t go well. BT and JL will do what they can to justify their position to remove NP and to hire LM. In this case, back him with money to make the signings in order to make it work… all sound familiar? I’m not convinced by Manning as I’ve stated previously and do feel we will put ourselves in a position come the time we will need an experienced head to come in and steady the ship. Round the track we go ago. Whatever happens come the end of the season. Fans should not forget what JL and BT have done and stated. Therefore should continue to be accountable for this seasons outcome.
  14. Embarrassing & tin pot. As said above, sums up our non existent history and success rate. We will be here come 2047 and celebrate with Joe Bryan and Korey Smith?
  15. Odds on Lee Johnson? Seems like a perfect fit with Dale
