(how dare a black person take offence to being mockingly called negro by an opponent to rile them up!). That said, foreign owners only care about what will enhance the image of the club top create revenue. The way the affair was managed (whether by PR team or manager) was awful and reflected poorly on the club (whether or not their fans were happy with how it was conducted or not).

I mean it doesnt take a genius to work out what an acheivement that was!!!! Brazil/argentina/england/spain/italy/france/etc and he took them to 3rd in the rankings. (and yes rankings may not mean a whole lot to some but still impressive)

Thanks Andy Carroll, in particular, with the turnaround (also blames a night on the vodka for this moment of self criticism http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=73920049&postcount=76)Mr Alan: Eternal optimist would see the bright side of all defeats and bring the feel-good factor back to Anfield. Solid top 6 finish ahead.LuckyLloyd: Cup run specialist, emphasis on FA/Carling Cup domination. New trophy cabinet would be required, league position not entirely relevant if 4th place is gone.opr: Senór Opr bring back the Spanish goatee spirit to Anfield, major push forward in the League and enjoy champions league success once more. Title contenders within 4 years.Kess73: Brings the true Liverpool spirit back. Lobbies owners to reduce ticket prices for away games. Focuses on the old school pass n move style. Brings back the good times.Willymunny: Privately phones King Kenny for tactical advice to ensure Liverpool mid-table mediocrity continues. Publically blames the mess he inherited from Kenny.

wonderfullife wrote: » LOL. Konchesky and Poulsen combined fees £4.5 million. Henderson, Downing, Carroll....... get a calculator out!! As for Rafa ....here's a list of dud signings. Robbie Keane Ryan BabelAlbert Riera Andrea Dossena Jermaine PennantMohammed Sissoko Fernando Morientes Diego CavalieriAlvaro Arbeloa David Ngog Scott Carson Andriy Voronin Dani Pacheco Damien Plessis Charles Itandje Philipp DegenFabio Aurelio Jan Kromkamp Boudewijn Zenden Mauricio PellegrinoEmiliano Insua Antonio Nunez Every manager makes poor signings. Nobody has a 100% hit or miss ratio in the transfer market. Roy/Kenny/Rafa all had varying budgets, varying constraints with owners. Of the 3, delivering value for money it would be 1. Rafa 2. Roy 3. Kenny
