  1. Make no mistake Gerrard will be gone, as will Liz Truss- in both cases, it is  when rather than if.   

    One taking a great club into oblivion 

    the other selling the country down the toilet 

    But both equally inept

    This Sky interview from January is short but sweet.

     

     

    CP- quote-  Steven said I want proven winners-  its that winning mentality- laughable now with Steven in charge and barely lays a glove on Leeds and Forest 

  3. Gerrard will get sacked it's a 100% given- the fans are rarely wrong. We know what we see and whether there is progress being made.

    What we are doing now by sitting on our hands is mithering and wasting precious time. All those managers we sacked previously have never gone onto anything bigger- the same with apply with Gerrard.  

    I wish our board were more assertive re managerial appointments.

    Poch is start to the way to the Holy Grail. So what if he gets poached in a year or two- it means he will have done well, developed our players , thus increasing their values. We very rarely have managers for longer than 3 years in anycase

  4. Treading water with SG- no team identity , no style of play, boring to watch.  

    We are a combo of the worst of  Pulis and Bruceball- utter tripe!! 

    SG is never in a million years going to be an elite manage. In fact I believe the Villa job will be his last job in the premiership. 

    in the meantime ab opportunity like Poch sails by- frustrating as hell

    Difference is they can afford to do this

    Hnmm not so sure-  Watford also sack managers at a rate of rapid-.

     

    If we can afford to spunk 15- 30 million on players,  we then sell.for a pittance- how is a few million in severance pay unaffordable.

    We've always been too slow to react to underperformed managers and the rot properly sets in.

  6. Chelsea sack managers as soon as the results aren't right. Hasn't done them too much harm over the years. We hang on far to long for underperformed mangers 

     

    They will now probably end up with Poch. Missed opportunity!!

  7. Out!

    we've lost to a Bournemouth team that will be relegated. Lost to West Ham at home despite them being bottom of the table at the time. Got played off the park by Crystal Palace. Arsenal lucky to have only lost 2-1- 4-1 would have be a more reflective score for Arsenal.

    Scraped over the line against  Everton at home.  

    There is enough there to shoe SG isn't the man to take us forward

  8. Poch  Rodgers and Potter in that order .

    Would Poch come- course he would if the project is as exciting as we are led to believe. In the days of O'Neil we were.bigger than Spurs. they went forward we went backwards. 

     

    Are.Potter and Rodgers a big upgrade on Stevei- hell yeah! 

     

    So Poch , Rodgers and Potter as they are all significantly better than Stevie

    I don’t want to sell him at all.

    I also realise from experience as a football fan that holding a player when they’ve decided they want to leave…ends badly.

    Think I will.always remember Zaha kicked up a fuss to leave for Everton - about 2 seasons ago.

     

    Never happened and he is still at Palace. 

    Ditto Suarez one season extra at Pool

    Ditto Mahrez and ended up staying at Leicester another 6 months.

     

    The club are in the driving seat. They don't need to sell and have a 4 yr contract- simple no  to the offer- not for sale at any price

    Ollie has been class but should be “rested” from penalty duty until we’re 4-0 up against some League 2 side.

    Mings, Luiz, or Grealish for me.

    Cash , Or either of the left footed chaps McGinn or  Targett for me.

    Barkley, let’s hope. He’s match fit too so we can throw him straight in there. 

    Barkley on so many levels is wanted. The added bonus will Barkley is that if Jack gets an injury we have out ready made replacement playmaker in Barkley 

  12. This rumour has more chance than Rashica. Percy has mentioned, we have the obvious Chelsea links. We have done loans with Chelsea last 2 seasons- although I wish we hadn't have gone the Drinkwater route. 

     

    Think this is a goer and prefer Barkley all day over RLC, purely down to injury risk
