    People calling for Pep and Mourinho were being dillusional. We are not the big name we used to be, and I'm sure a lot of big managers looked at how Rafa was treated by a lot of "fans", why would they get involved in a situation like that?

    Like yourself? You called for Pep I do believe. Is that an admission of dellusion?

    We performed better them in the league (which I'm always told doesn't lie) & both cups & we had an awful league campaign with them having a great one?! :confused:

    No obvious upgrade there in the slightest. If anything it seems like a downgrade?! :confused:

    I think, and I could possibly be wrong here, that the extra expense to put together the Liverpool squad compared to the Swansea squad should in some people's eyes make for more than a 5 point difference over 38 matches.

    apologies Willy, it seems i was mistaken about the payoff; i didn't know what i was talking about it seems.

    now to wash myself :D

    Kenny is still anything but a "stain" on the club though.

    I'd doubt West Ham would bid unless they knew Carroll was interested.
    Sam and Carroll share the same dodgy agent

    I don't care what he did as a player.
    I dont care what he did as a manager in the 80's.
    I don't care what he did as blackburn manager with Walkers money.
    I DON'T CARE WHAT HE DID IN THE 80'S.

    The fact is he was not far off relegation form in the 2nd half of last season.
    We played 5 matches to get to the fa cup final, United were the only game we did well to win and very nearly threw that away. We were lucky to beat Everton and were then schooled by Chelsea bar the final 15 minutes.
    Penalties to beat Cardiff in the league cup says it all, especially when you remember that we didn't even deserve extra time.

    It's time people took off the rose tinted glasses and realise that Kenny just was not able to be so involved in the game at such a high level anymore. SAF has evolved from 1986, Kenny has not.

    with fans like you LFC deserves no success

    Yea, cause if one thing is assured its that a managers methods will transfer over with ease to a so called "big" club :confused:

    I've pointed out before, but the likes of Brown, Jewell, Big Sam, Alan Curbishly & Coyle have had as impressive seasons in the PL as Rodgers had last season, and they weren't working under a strict DOF model whereby the philosophy & system the team play with was actually in place before they arrived.

    How is it a downgrade?

    Man who took Swansea to 11th, a couple of points behind us with a limited squad and resources vs. man who had big money to transform the team, finished 8th and won a cup.

    I agree Kenny is and always will be a legend of the club but achievements from 20 years ago don't really count these days.

    I was making a case for wanting him at the club. I want Messi and Ronaldo too, he was never and most likely will never be a viable option. Just like Messi and Ronaldo.

    That's making a case for why he would go to Liverpool.
    By your own admission that's deluded. Put down the shovel.

    I find it hilarious that the League Cup is always discarded by the Kenny haters as 'needed penalties to beat Cardiff - says it all'. That victory over two legs against the League Champions, or away victories against Stoke and Chelsea are coveniently forgotten. :rolleyes:

    That's stating a fact, he has spoken of our youth policy. I've said it on here before, I'll manage Liverpool before Pep or Mourinho do.

    I'm not sure what is going to annoy me more about the forthcoming season. People here using the nickname buck, or overuse of the term tiki-taka. It'll be close I'd say.

    People are retards.

    I fear it'll soon be recognised & we'll be chasing our next manager.

    That Laudrup fella is doing great things at Swansea......:pac:

    I think it'll be people realising tikka takka doesn't meaning banging in a load of goals every game & in actual fact we'll likely be far more frustrating to watch than we were this season, that'll do it imo.

    Note to self; Rodgers must win at one of the toughest grounds in the country to go to. Not just win. With style. Noted.

    Honestly, is there something in the water in Clare?

    And I was at the final. So what. They won against Stoke and Chelsea away and over 2 legs against a City team that went for it.
    Great performance to win that trophy IMO.

    Sorry but I don't have Stoke on that high a pedestal. They're a team Liverpool should be beating.
