Don’t think anyone is He’s an ex player from the area came through our academy went on to have an exceptional career. But the reason I’d have him back is he has not only got experience of the game at the very highest level but has also developed into a very good leader was loved in the dressing room at Liverpool If he’s looking to go into coaching and settle back in the area would love to see him here

I hope he heads back to Merseyside and into a job in the Liverpool setup.

Please please please let's not turn Henderson into Mr Sunderland. He's He's done nothing to earn it. He played maybe 100 games for us and left when a better opportunity came along.

Not a criticism of him. Just a rational as to why we shouldn't treat him like some sort of club icon or the club's prodigal son.

Personally I think hes been a fantastic ambassador for our City. I'd absolutely love him back here, the influence of an elite mentality on our young players would be priceless.

Of course he was sacked because of the failures of the recruitment , look at what Beale and Dodds did with the same squad. Last season failed because of the owner and Speakman, that isn't guesswork, that is a fact.

But when Beale failed it was because he wasn’t dry good, not because the squad wasn’t? If it was Speakman to blame, why did Beale. Op so much grief?

Would be the perfect fit with his experience of the club well run behind the scenes from what I can see But also think he would be an asset here if he could bring a bit of his experience of the Liverpool ethos to our back room

I don't give a **** about Jordan Henderson. The guy is fine. He's done very well for himself. He's ok. Good for him.

I feel a good deal of sympathy for kids who struggle with being gay as they come up. It's still not the easiest thing to live with in some families in some places. Anything that willfully makes that harder, on any level, I am never going to get on board with.

I don't think our club - an organisation that's supposed to represent its community, not some of the community, all of it - should employ an individual who has utterly betrayed no small part of that community.

Football is a ****ing folly. It's a bad joke that gets less funny each year it goes on.

It's not a religion as much as Pearlman would like to pretend with his hamfisted clichés that reduce us to the whippet walking, flat cap wearing, pie eating simpletons that sky used to like to before him. It's not a matter of life and death. It's distraction from the ineffable constant of such things.

If we start hiring people for the benefit of football to the detriment of the community and it's people, then the club is soulless and unfit for purpose, in my mind.

I get my thoughts aren't shared by all or perhaps even many but I'm incredibly comfortable with them.

I don't expect to say this to a chorus of agreement, I don't expect to convert people to my way of thinking, I do, however, expect people to allow me an opinion formed over a lifetime.

I don't know, maybe I just don't fit in with the football crowd any more.

Fair enough, mate. Maybe you're right.

There is definietely gaps in the continuity and that wraps around playing style, in my opinion anyway. The first appointment was Johnson who was regarded as an attacking front foot coach. Then we jumped to Neil who is considered much more pragmatic. To Mowbray who again wants to play attractive expansive football. Those three each, in their own way, moved us forward a large step. Then we land on Beale, again very different. Then we appear focussed on Still.

None of it seems to make sense in terms of how we have built the squad. I still maintain we have built a 433 squad, with lots of technical ability. They will shine under a high possession style. But we go for Still who is not that sort of coach, at least on evidence so far. It does seem like the club do loads of things right and well, but have yet to link them together at first team level to make everything work in tandem.

Agree with everything you’ve said there. I remember early on Speakman stating we would focus on a high intensity pressing style which I think is a great fit for our fan base. That style has been seen for periods but not consistently and not for a while.
I think the next coach will hopefully set a more consistent style of play. As you say our squad as it stands is suited to 433 possession based game. From reading articles from Maric on his preferred style and if the rumours about Jansen and Rosenior are true that would suggest that’s the preferred approach. Maybe org if the last few months process has been reviewing the club playing style. I don’t have the data but it appears that the more passion based teams are performing better in the championship.

Still and Svensson on the other hand are both drastically different. Obviously we don’t know what is the reality but on the face of it there isn’t a clear style or identity.
