I'm very curious to see what Roberto Martinez could do with better players and a much higher quality lineup.

This tweet was on April 16.

First things first, how do you pronounce his name?

paid a shedload plus Etoo for Ibrahamovich when Etoo was already the better player

paid a shedload for a ukranian centre half that hardly played a game

he'll fit right in:D

(he did some good stuff too)

Yep, that Ibra deal was absolutely bonkers.

I really should have taken a Guardiola from the interwebz today. At least some serious question's look like getting addressed.

For anyone who doesnt know Chang you can read his facebook chat for the last year here, theres a fair bit of pool related stuff.

What I'm thinking is they are trying to build a kind of Barcelona system or even Porto. Or even old Liverpool for that matter.

A system of successive managers.

I don't think the owners place much emphasis on the old Liverpool and the last few days clearly indicate that.

The man knows his football. He was instrumental in the reshaping of Barcelona. He features in a really great BBC documentary which follows them in that first year he was appointed. It's on youtube I think.

So has this been confirmed anywhere apart from unreliable tweets?

G.K. · 17-05-2012 08:30PM

Duncan Jenkins

You soothsayer, you.

Pretty much. Most other people were saying they hope something is sorted out before the Euros.

Mr Alan · 17-05-2012 08:31PM

Jenkins hedged his bets somewhat

nope

although Duncan Jenkins is pretty reliable as ITK merchants go

He did also add the disclaimer that the only other option could be Louis Van Gaal, and that his source never got back to him

duncan jenkins ‏@duncanjenkinsFC
okay my source has not got back to me. the person i was told is the new D.O.F of #lfc is txixi berigistain. only other possibility is L.V.G

This is great work by FSG if true!
Txiki did his first public interview in ages with Ballague on Revista a few weeks ago and afterwards Guilliem let it be known that Abramovich was sniffing around trying to get him to come to Chelsea.

Cant dispute his knowledge of players but he is taking Ian Cotton's job no?.

Alledgedly.

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague
Txiki Beguiristain has not been approached by LFC. But I am pretty sure he has other offers.

It's true so?

Sick of this twitter crap.

Snakeblood · 17-05-2012 08:42PM

I've been following the thread since before Christmas. Not a Liverpool fan, and I thought Dalglish should go, based on results. If this thing with Txiki is true, then that's an excellent step forward for Liverpool, and to me at least, indicates FSG know that they're in a serious battle. They've already paid off 200 million of the clubs debts, they're allowing reinvestment. I think they deserve to have a little breathing room.

Liam Tomkins ‏@liam_tomkins
Kenny Dalglish is supposed to have refused compensation after being sacked, telling FSG to put the money towards transfers.

Apparently Kenny is dumb for doing that and also a greedy fecker if he takes compensation.

Place has gone schizo!

Let's all settle down and watch this for the next hour

Remember watching it at the time and remembering back as a Barcelona fan during that season and defeats to start with.

Fascinating insight into breaking apart the old grandeur of the club, taking out the VIP hospitality rooms, sending players on loans and either renegotiating stupid contracts with the likes of Rochemback and Saviola and Kluivert or shifting them out of the club. A root and branch restructure of the club from top to bottom. There were some heavy defeats in the first few months though.....

Yet I can't remember why he left..whether he fell out with Laporta, fell with Laporta when his term was up or fell out with Rosell.

Would his name become the new 'the Greek'? :pac:

In that case he is definately coming.

Only a couple of days ago Balague was adamant Kenny was staying, his sources told him

Christ, astonishing levels of delusion displayed in the above post.

The man has just left one of the greatest team of all time because he was stressed out and needed a break. He isn't going to move to a new country to manage an 8th place side a week later.
