OK My manager is...............

William E. (For beards a jolly good fellow) Barclay

After the defection, Houlding and Barclay were left with a football ground and no team, but together rapidly and successfully created a brand new one - Liverpool Football Club.

Barclay was the actual 'secretary-manager' of Liverpool Football Club during this period and had been involved at Liverpool before John McKenna, who seems to have acted as a 'coach-manager'. The tremendous work achieved by Barclay should not be overlooked, as he was the organisational force that helped create the great 'Team of the Macs' and the early successes of the Club.

A widely respected and well-liked man, Barclay later became a headmaster of the Industrial Schools in Everton Crescent, Liverpool.

There's only one available manager left, damn our board for being so patient. How many are left who are managerless?

There's two left mate, but they happen to be the least successful in our history.

That would be my fault then. But in truth, when you read what a great player he was, and a relatively poor manager (a bit Souness esque) he had to be in as a player.

As Sarge is probably offline till tomorrow, if Ackbaria wants to post his choice in the other thread, I guess we can knock off for the evening.

If people aren't gonna be around for a while tomorrow I suggest sending Sarge a PM.

No bother, I was going to pick Barclay but I wanted to get my two player
picks in as I think they were more important.

Anyway I reckon Cally would make a decent player/manager with his experience.

Damn, I have this tune in me head now

Quote

Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel,
Like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon,
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face,
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind.

What are we going to do when this is over? How about a Draft of the best players you can find by swapping the first names?

Kenny Liddell or Billy Dalglish anyone?

Actually, I was telling a few of the lads in Dodds today about this and the voting and they were all quite interested in it.

A draft of Rawk members with those left unpicked receiving automatic bans perhaps?

Barney_Rubble · « **Reply #1834 on:** January 25, 2009, 10:03:35 pm »

We could pick on an all time personal favourite 11, just for fun.

There'll obviously be a lot of popular picks, but could be interesting to see the less obvious choices, formations etc.

Wouldn't be surprised if she covered it but written by Alan & Marilyn Bergman & Michel Legrand.

Sung by Dusty Springfield for the soundtrack to The Thomas Crown Affair.

That's a bit too much like picking the play time footy sides at school.

They just weren't ready for level 3 football back then.

We used to play "Five and a boot" which involved a systematic mass beating for anyone who let in 5 goals. Great days

That sounds like a fun system. Must have made finding keepers all the easier.
