Absolute blinkers rosco
Gets his sides playing half decent football...

No he doesn't. He buys Heskey or someone similar and plays percentage, route one football. Big Sam in a tracksuit but with half the charm.
The only manager I'd less want at Anfield is Roy fucking Hodgson.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want him as LFC manager, and I do think his teams play it ugly. I also think he has had some terrific successes as a manager, and he's a good one.

That's not true.
He does clearly have a thing for a big CF but likewise at Villa, his side were very quick on the break and full of confidence.
I think its fair to say his side are always disciplined, possibly too much so at times but I also think it'd be unfair & untrue to label them route one

Can't wait to see Emile falling over for Sunderland next season.

I'm not defending Rosco but I think this is the reason they closed that gap:
combined with rangers getting really shit really fast.

To think that some people actually wanted him at Anfield.
*Shudders*

3 yr deal it is
The Northern Irishman was named as Steve Bruce's successor at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, putting pen to paper on a three-year contract.
He will be in the stands for Sunday's clash with Wolves as Bruce's former assistant Eric Black takes temporary charge of team affairs, but is excited about starting work with the squad over the next week.
O'Neill's mission will be to steer the Black Cats away from their current position just outside the Premier League relegation zone.
[size=14pt]"It's not to try and earn any sort of brownie points, but Sunderland were my favourite team as a boy," he told Sky Sports News.[/size]
"Where I came from in Northern Ireland you had two, either Celtic or Rangers, and obviously I was a big Celtic fan at that stage, but all school pals took on English teams and Sunderland it was for me because of Charlie Hurley, and I have remained a supporter ever since.
"That aside, it is a massive club, they are very passionate up there and I would love to do well."
O'Neill has been out of the football spotlight since leaving his previous role with Aston Villa just before the 2010/11 campaign kicked off, but his hunger for the game remains as strong as ever.
Asked if his appetite was actually even greater because of the long absence, O'Neill replied: "I don't think that has changed at all.
"I think I have always had a great enthusiasm for the game, and I always feel as though I am ready.
"I suppose time will tell, but I think that I am ready and I want to do it."

Has Henry Winter ever told Ferguson to Rise. Above. It. when he slaps down journos who ridicule his players. It took a while, but they've finally found a successor to Rafa as their "uppity foreigner that's got too much to say for himself."

Hopefully the O'Neill factor continues this Sunday. They're away to Spurs.
