I do not know if managers should have the final saying about a player or not, but if he does he can also take the blame.


Reports to suggest Napoli want to keep him.
I'd take Rafa back though. People moan about his latter years at the club but they seem to forget the **** from the owners he had to endure too. Once Gerrard and Johnson leave this summer, there will only be Skrtel left from Rafa's reign so it'll be a new dressing room for him as well.

Southampton's success and stability has nothing to do with Everton's tragedy or Liverpool's flim flamming tho has it. Southampton are amiing to stay where they are, we are aiming higher, when you jump to reach a height, the fall is harder.
I don't go using Spurs to measure Everton. There's a good reason for that too![]()

I fully agree that we have underperformed[img class="mceSmilie" title="F Ok However Southampton have done what they have done in the last three seasons......improved each year

Who said I measured against them, I said earlier that they had not over performed and had continued to improve as they had done for the 2/3 previous seasons

Are they going to bankroll?."Liverpool owners must avoid snap decisions, says Rick Parry"
just chalk this one down with all that spam you've been doing as reasons to sack you
I say lets all just abuse rodgers on the one place....

Can we have a Klopp thread?

This is where some moron who because he can do some fancy charts and have some stats to hand think they know more about football than anyone elseThis is where being a moron and thinking your club can only ever move forwards when every other club is trying to do the same gets managers sacked for their own success.
Everyone admits 2nd was a massive overachievement last season so why does it suddenly become the new standard? What does it matter if we spent £60m if we still only have the 5th most expensive squad?
Our effective net spend was £28m (£9m less than Everton), ignoring Origi who comes next season.


I had a Klopp specific thread. Gerrez destroyed it all
On the bright side, we can do it all again now Yeah, my badOn the bright side, we can do it all again now
