How many of the managers currently in situ at the rest or the PL clubs will still be here in 2 years? We actually have more stability than the vast majority of the rest
He signed Stones in his first season. I assume you meant VK?We weren’t in a worse position. He had a spine of prime Stones, Fern, David, Kdb, Kun and Raheem. That’s miles better than we have just now. I think it will take us at least two very good transfer windows with the right players available to buy. The new boy has a lot to do.
He's signed a two year extension, not one!Those managers would be sacked, Pep actually has a choice and that choice involves him leaving this club with players that another manager can make something off of.
He has one major summer transfer window and a year to bed those players in and then hand those players off to another manager, IMO if he's off we should have looked for someone else.
I know, mate, he's a genius, but my point is that we aren't going from Pep to Allardyce. Rather, the next manager will be high quality and play a similar game to Pep.The only flaw in that is that there is only one Pep, managers have tried to emulate him and they've failed.
If it were that easy many would have done it, and if it was that fruitful where are the players from the academy? The size of our academy we should have players kicking the doors in and ready to go.

No! That was an erroneous rumour.Isn't it one with an option mate?
No! That was an erroneous rumour.
Did they actually apologise? When they drew Juve in the CL there were pious appeals for "reconciliation", but never any suggestion that Liverpool fans had actually done anything in any way wrong. It was as if Italian fans were trying to blacken the name of great scouse fans wronged for supporting their club.Wrong.
The biggest sportswashing outfit is Liverpool Football Club.
An institution whose fans murdered 39 Italians, blamed everything from Chelsea supporters to the architectural quality of the ground, refused to apologise for almost two decades (and only did so because they drew their victims in the CL) and held a trophy parade on the anniversary of football's darkest ever day.
These murdering bastards invented sportswashing.
All a matter of opinion but I do not think the current spine is equal to that which was available when he started particularly in midfield.He signed Stones in his first season. I assume you meant VK?
Yes, that is a solid spine, but so is:
Ederson, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodri, Foden and Haaland.
And I would argue that the lower grade players like Ake, Akanji and Grealish are better than their equivalents like Otamendi, Kolarov and Nasri.
I think it's easy to fall into a trap of thinking we need wholesale replacements, but every player I've mentioned will be in the 23-30 age bracket at the start of next season, which is typically a footballer's peak.
We need quality reinforcements, especially in midfield, but the cupboard is far from bare.
Also Lavia, H-Bellis and Delap.Maybe, maybe not but there has been a noticeable drop in our high standards in this area.
Squad is currently unbalanced with the worst selection of midfielders attacking options to choose from in a long time
Nunes, Philips, Savinho, Doku cost a small fortune and have not improved or nowhere near maintained the level we had.
I would swap those 4 for Palmer and Alvarez in a heartbeat
And I would favour two up front, tho’ I would prefer little and large to large and large. Phil?Have a £20 million buy back clause on Delap…
I think it might have gone the same route as most 'political' apologies do. You apologise for the event happening but steer clear that you were wholly responsible for it! it might have been 'Dear Juve, we are sorry for your loss!' I believe Juve told 'em to fuck off, same as the Pope did with the Rags.Did they actually apologise?

There is always the not so subtle use of the passive or the subjunctive: “We are sorry for any damage that may have been caused…”I think it might have gone the same route as most 'political' apologies do.

That depends on how many points and how long this losing streak continues!This is said slightly in jest, but also slightly not!… if we are found guilty of any of the charges and are given a points deduction, this isn’t the worst season it could happen in!
Mods. Is there any chance of doing some modding (if that's a word)?Can we get this thread back on topic please? All valid opinions; just not here!
Have you heard of the film "One flew over the Cuckoo's nest?"Just been on the Caf reading their reaction to the APT vote, fuck me they have some odd bastards on there.
