    Sacking a black manager who is popular with the fans and has a strong connection with the club for a racist who has no connection to the club and isn’t even a better manager/coach would just about be the most idiotic and tone-deaf decision the club’s ever made in living memory, and I include all the **** the Allams pulled. Thankfully, it’s most certainly complete and utter bollocks.

    Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah said he is "devastated" the club have missed out on a spot in next season's Champions League and added "there's absolutely no excuse for this".

    Salah posted his comments on social mediashortly after Liverpool's failure to finish in the top four was confirmed by Manchester United beating Chelsea.

    Liverpool will finish fifth and play in next season's Europa League.

    "We let you [fans] and ourselves down," said Egypt international Salah, 30. (BBC)

    Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but Livermore has been released by WBA, I know he’s 34, but is he still a decent player?

    Not enough of one for the wages he was pulling at Albion.

    The wording suggested we need to sell someone before we could consider taking him on.

    I was merely pointing out that your claim 'that Championship clubs don't think signing players from Holland is a good bet for the style, intensity and physicality of the Championship' was absolute nonsense.

    How f*cked are we if Turkey’s economy keeps going down the drain?

    I know you like to be a know it all, but that list you included is irrelevant. The point was about signing players from the Eredivisie, not Dutch players. That list also goes back 15 years when the Championship was a different standard, includes players that weren't signed by Championship clubs or from the Eredivisie and even includes players that have never played in the Eredivisie (Maatsen & Chong being prime examples) and misses players who weren't Dutch but signed from the Eredivisie

    I doubt Acun's and his other interested parties money is invested in Turkish Lira...

    I know it's only one game but I thought he was shocking in that playoff semi second leg. Peterborough barely got out of their half and he was the one up front just not holding onto anything whenever it was cleared. Culminating in his laughable lazy clearance in the last minute that caused the equalising goal.

    I don't get this idea that players from certain leagues are not suited to the Championship. All leagues have players that suit, it's just picking the right ones. The scouting network is the important thing.

    Exactly, it’s the player. A League doesn’t have a style of play, a team or player does. There won’t be fans of Hellas Verona, Tenerife and Karlsruhe saying “he’s coming from the Championship, he won’t fit in in our division”. You look at what the player brings, what he can do and then work out if those skills match up to the way you want to play. You wouldn’t have thought Harry Wilson was built for the Championship, or Abel Hernandez, but they seemed to do alright and I’m pretty sure Palermo and Liverpool reserves didn’t play the same way we did at the time.

    Size doesn't matter, I remember when we played Stoke in the EPL and the players lined up before the game, I was in the West Stand and one player looked extremely small compared to those around him and scored a rather good goal. So you never know.
