MWARLEY2 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I am happy for him. Because it proves that this Saudi League isnt going to get better. Totally based on the past rather than the present. His lack of selfawareness is insane. Hard work and dedication. For 3 months . And gets to be the 4th highest paid manager in world football. They deserve 300 crowds if this is how they measure success. Even Blues get bigger crowds. . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, his club is not one of the PIF owned clubs so I don't think their failings are reflective of how the league will do. It's like trying to gauge the PL by how Everton do.

Vancvillan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 20 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: Maybe you're saying this rhetorically, but I don't understand why people get mad about this stuff. I think it's the fact that he earns more in one year than most people would see in five (to fifty) generations and he has absolutely zero humility. The way he tells it, he's earned that and is worth it. Which, when compared to almost every other occupation and standard of competency is sickening. Literally, not figuratively. He's not the only example by a long shot, but he's emblematic of everything that's wrong with the people - a grifter who thinks he's exceptional and is owed whatever he can take. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 20 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20 They do love a red Scouse player over there with the amount of ex Scouse red over there, and especially a red Scouse legend. I presume his wages include obligatory dinner party with al ettifuck officials, obligatory selfies, additional performing on them (no typo), Because the money it's definitely not for coaching nor football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Incredible he is getting another manager in Dean Holden who also worked in the Championship to fly over and be his assistant He goes through assistants quicker than Watford does managers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The Saudis seem to be having success with golf but everything I've seen about the Saudi league is that it's just another Chinese league that will end in disappointment in five years time. Seeing Gerrard get another contract is just confirmation of that imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a complete disaster and will end up being a terribly expensive way to buy a small share of the PGA tour. The Saudis are just wasting money left right and centre.

HongKongVillan Posted January 23 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23 Must be one of the best job being his assistant. You do shit then we know Stevie is shite at the managing business anyway. If there is any sort of success or a small good run, you are ultimately responsible for being a tactical genius as the non Liverpool football world knows it has nothing to do with Stevie.

I admit I don’t follow it particularly closely, but my understanding was if the PGA tour merges with the Saudi one then their money is going to result in them exerting a lot of control? If you’re going reply maybe better to do it in the golf thread and tag me, as I guess we’re going slightly off-topic at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can recycle the same old stuff about how they need to improve blah blah… but that’s it. We witnessed this first hand quite early on I think.

oishiiniku_uk Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 He's probably been offered a new deal solely cos of his profile and social media presence. Keep towing the party line and shilling for them on your Insta, Stevie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you’re in that position with all that wealth, you can just pay to have your football heroes hang out with you. Pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep towing the party line and shilling for them on your Insta, Stevie! Why does he still have high profile social media? I can understand people being interested whilst he was playing but who the hell is interest in the daily goings on of a retired rather dull footballer. I'm amazed people don't just move on to someone newer and shinier. I wonder how many actual regular views he gets rather than followers who just haven't bothered to unfollow.
