Topic: Hull City 1 - Liverpool 0

[Melbred]

We could have easily, sorry but that is just an excuse.

Look at the signings, did we need

Lovren when we had Sakho or Agger or Ilori? £20m
Balotelli when we has Aspas or Borin or Lamberti? £16m
Markovic when we had Ibe? £20m
Lallana when we had Coutinho or Alberto? £25m!!

How much of a contribution have those players made?

People may say hindsight etc, etc. But it was very clear that those were not the players we needed at the time. Bar Markovic, I was dead set against Lovren and Lallana and highly skeptical with Balotelli.

[lobsterboy]

I believe it was FS who said that we will live to regret the outing of Rafa for years. (paraphrasing).

He was fucking bob on an all.

[killer-heels]

No because he has kind of proved himself already and has had all of Europe watch his side defy the odds for years but what does he gain from joining a stagnant and financially impoverished Liverpool side? Apart from the tag of the miracle worker or the renaissance man.

The reason why I say he is going to City or PSG is because he will earn a lot of money. Sign the best players and build his own squad quicker. If he fails he can easily go to Liverpool if we are manager less in the future. But if he comes to us and fails he will quite possibly never have a crack at a top club.


Thats why I don't see it but I won't spoil the forums campaign. Good luck getting that guy.

I want us to keep Rodgers and even if we did lose him then I am not keen on Klopp or Rafa, who both seem to be the managers elect for some people. But Klopp has said several times that if he leaves Dortmund then he wants to go to a country where he speaks the language and that being manager of a side that has the most money doesn't really appeal to him.

I dont really want him as our manager but if we did sack Rodgers and went for Klopp then there is a good chance we would get him.

[Kopenhagen]

Annoys the fuck out of me this. We didn't spend 100m, we spent the Suarez cash and 20m ish on top of that. Net spend is the only relevant factor. And the fact is, when it comes to it, FSG don't put their hands in their pockets like the other big teams above us do.

And that makes Spurs different...how?

[cox3100]

I don't thin Brendan is going to be sacked. But I do think he is on thin ice.

lose to QPR on Saturday and i think the ice will break.


and the worst thing is that it is more of a possibility than anybody would have thought a month or so ago 

[RedRabbit]

Why would FSG keep rodgers at this stage, given public confidence is falling? Bad start to next season and hes fucked. I think they'll get rid.

I think you've answered your own question.

Keep him and see how the new season starts off with a couple of new players. They can sack him anytime they want.

[macca888]

being real... ....you know fuckall, just like the rest of us know fuckall...stop making out you're some cross between Steve Peters and the amazing fuckin Kreskin

No shit, I bought a new pair of bins the other week. I only fucking wear them every now and again when my eyes get dry from wearing contacts. Anyway, I goes down to me mams with them on, goes in and me arl fella shouts, "Fucking hell, here's The Amazing Kreskin love, get the best china mugs out." The cheeky twat. Don't see the resemblance meself like 

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

To be fair, he meant financially.

Moot point when he reached the CL final though. What about Simeone as well?

[SerbianScouser]

To be fair, he meant financially.

What is accurate though is here he`ll be in the same market for players with 4-5 other teams as opposed to just one in Germany. It`s always gonna be considerably less tough for him to build top teams back home where Bayern can`t possibly collect the entire pool of domestic talent while here you have to  pick up crumbs after Chelsea, City and Utd.

Managers might not be available then though. Elite managers that is.

Great, and we'll be left with no manager and no good ones available to replace him.

[The Infamous_LFC]

I don't think John Henry logs onto RAWK and goes: "Tom the tide is turning, sack him"

It amazing how this mythical force on rawk can get managers sacked, never appointed mind.

I actually believe people with powers read RAWK. I was on here when Rafa was in his last days at the club and it was just like today. Full of c*nts that wanted Hodgson,Redknapp and all sorts. And they got their wish.

What does the fox say?

They might not be available now. We haven't a scooby where Klopp will end up and Rafa isn't coming back with the current set-up here.

[Kopenhagen]

It's not irrelevant when Rodgers himself stated that by spending that kind of money (regardless of net spend), they should have been going for the title.

If that's what he believes, he knows he has failed.

I believe it's called "par."

[TALBERT]

Lamberti?

The transfer committee signed Lamberti

FFS wasting more money on another useless Italian, we've already got Balotelli

If there's anything we're good that then that would be injuring players.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Lovren, Lallana, Balotelli, Lambert, if it were any other team we'd piss ourselves laughing, but I'm weeping.

Only watching the highlights but Emre Can looks like the first right back I've ever seen with a free role!!

Imagine the success we'd have had in the last few years, had Rafa had not been booted out.

[kasperoff]

Not one player have Liverpool and champions league standard, fucking grim performance

I think this is about the size of it. We have plenty of decent players, but not enough good ones.

[flinner]

Bad time to be looking at Managers into the start of a new season doubt there would be many on the list, FSG have a decision to make the sooner they make it the better.

[didi shamone]

Klopp just beat Pep

Well that was uncalled for. I mean it's a passionate game but that's no excuse to resort to violence..

[jooneyisdagod]

They might not be available now. We haven't a scooby where Klopp will end up and Rafa isn't coming back with the current set-up here.

They might not be available, but they are far more likely to be available now than later. I'm sure there are many clubs negotiating in the background but the longer we wait the less likely they'll be available.

[Redman0151]

Rodgers: "Mario has got a few years left on his contract & it’s fair to say that every single player here is playing for his future."

[RedRabbit]

I don't think they think like that. From a cold business perspective it's best to get rid pre season. Why give a dead man money to invest?

They aren't giving him the money, they're giving it to the committee they set-up. The next manager would have to abide by the same rules.

Unless of course they make big changes further up the food chain I don't see them making any quick decisions.

[Skidder.]

[Black Bull Nova]

I may have to avoid Rawk this summer now if this season continues in its current form. In fact I may have to avoid football as a whole, Mourinho crowing like the vainglorious bastard he is, United climbing back up the side of the cage, Arsenal now debt free, West Ham moving into a free massive stadium, City likely to start their re-birth (which they can afford), Spurs likely to start clicking now they have someone who scores goals and won't leave and......us.

Stranded, with devoted players like Agger, Hypia, Alonso and their ilk gone, Gerrard and Lucas likely to move on and what we thought was our potential, players like Sterling, looking for out,

[Illmatic]

Eddie Howe, welcome to Liverpool.

If Rodger's is to go we really need to go for some experience a 37 year whose one claim to fame is gaining promotion from the championship really isn't the answer. 

[NorthamptonKopite]

No ones calling for shite managers this time though, thats the difference...

[killer-heels]

Rodgers: "Mario has got a few years left on his contract & it’s fair to say that every single player here is playing for his future."

What was the question?

[Twelfth Man]

I want us to keep Rodgers and even if we did lose him then I am not keen on Klopp or Rafa, who both seem to be the managers elect for some people. But Klopp has said several times that if he leaves Dortmund then he wants to go to a country where he speaks the language and that being manager of a side that has the most money doesn't really appeal to him.

I dont really want him as our manager but if we did sack Rodgers and went for Klopp then there is a good chance we would get him.

Who do you want?

[kasperoff]

Well, clearly. But what do I know eh? I always stood behind Rafa and was devastated when he left. It was a travesty. But it was me against the 99% of RAWK back then...

Not as many as you might think. I was gutted.

[RK7]

FFS wasting more money on another useless Italian, we've already got Balotelli

Good spot.

[killer-heels]

That chance at the end of the first half was a joke. Neither Sterling, Henderson or Balotelli had the drive, will or conviction to even throw their foot at it. It shows a complete lack of confidence and a massive lack of desire.

[NorthamptonKopite]

I just have no idea how anyone can justify the idea that Rodgers will get better results next season than managers like Klopp or Benitez. Theres just no way.

[The Infamous_LFC]

Imagine the success we'd have had in the last few years, had Rafa had not been booted out.

Pains me. Further more imagine Rafa had 35million to spend on a striker. I bet it wouldn't have been Andy Carroll

[Zoomers]

Fuck off with your shit paint skills.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Not as many as you might think. I was gutted.

I don't know anyone that wanted Rafa gone.
