I'm sure you wouldn't walk away Roy. Someone will sack you instead.

Publicly insisting there was nothing offensive in his comments is pretty damn silly when your employers take a different view.
Here's another spade, Roy, keep right on digging mate.

Ok, I think the interview is 'worth' listening to. Not cos its 'good' though. I'm almost 3 min into it and I've heard "...as a manager, unfortunately, you'll gonna be the first in the firing line but I'm pretty sure that they would've had plenty of criticism for a lot of the players as well in the game..."
Talk about deflecting the blame...

This isn't news. He was never going to quit and lose out on millions.
True, and his self-respect is also an issue. IMO his prickly responses to criticism show that very clearly.

surely if he had any self-respect he'd be gone already?
this whole thing is horribly demeaning for him.

I don't actually think he would have gone, peter, because that would mean him admitting to himself that he's failed. I'd hazard a guess that he knows it deep down, but he'll fight like fury to avoid facing up to it.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think all managers are as obsessed with the money as some make out. I actually think they're mainly stubborn, and think they're going to turn things around.
I know if I was in a job that I'd always wanted, and realised at the beginning that it's actually tougher than I thought, I wouldn't jump ship. I'd keep going and work on it to try and do the best I could. And I reckon most managers, and players, would do the same. The reason they are where they are is because they have the self belief in themselves to get there.
I'm convinced Roy is not staying because of a pay off, it's because he still believes he can do a good job.

I think people always assume it's about money and forget that a lot of these superstar players and managers actually really like what they do and love being involved in football. I remember people slagging off Fowler for some of the moves he's made, and that he just retire at the top of his game, but I think people like him just want to play whether it's for Liverpool or Cardiff or some random team in Australia. There's a reason I still play football, even though I mightn't be as good now as I used to be(not that I was ever that good anyway).
Although it's maybe not the case in all cases, I do think it's the case for Roy. He's got a job he's always wanted, and he's not going to give it up without a fight.

I agree with you. He has said a few times that he has awaited the chance to try himself at a top club. He even went to Norway and Finland just to be involved in football when noone wanted him. Lucky for us Norwegian he has later stated that was a country he would never go back too!! So look up Finland. He is soon on the market again!

Money is only a motivator when you don't have it or if you are given a chance to multiply what you have by a magnitude. It's the prestige of managing LFC here and Roy isn't gonna give it up.
For one thing, if he resigns, it's a evidence that he couldn't manage the situation and he'll never manage a big club again. Same reason why Rafa had to be sacked or "agree by mutual consent".

He's going to get a job presenting footy and the olympics and anything vaguely sport related, going down as a a nice guy who was a victim of circumstance. They'll paint it that he walked into a shit storm and had a squad that was about as good as Burnley and it was a miracle we scored a single goal all season.
I was listening to 5Live before and they were circle jerking about him, about how it's the squad he inherited. Yeah, of the team that couldn't get a shot off against Wolves, consider that when we beat the mancs 4-1 away I think we had Reina, Skrtel, Aurelio, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Torres and Babel available. - We'd have had Carra is it wasn't for injury and in addition we've got who is meant to be the best right back in England and in Meireles a fucking great replacement, if not like for like, for Masch.
People seriously haven't got a fucking clue.

People have Agendas, Rafa haters like to say he left us with a threadbare Squad that wasn't capable of beating Blackpool at home, while saying he should have got sacked for not winning the League with the squad he had.

Well he left us with the squad he was willing to continue with.
