when paul 'look on the bright side of life' tompkins turns on you

Status
Not open for further replies.
I can't see us loosing another game this side of Christmas.

*feels excited and deluded*
 
People said he had a tough start Arsenal City United, they said it'd get better, a Fluke of a goal (backpass) v Sunderland at home gave us a draw and papered over the cracks, Blackpool showed the cracks had turned into a Chasm.

Some people said we'd get 15 points from our next 5 games, now we are hoping against hope for 4-5-6 or 7.
 
The sentence like reads differently now and stuff. It's not us with the 'once great manager'. It's Inter. And Roy only making things worse is not related to Rafa fucking it all up last year. We came seventh because he blew all his dough on a shit right back and a shitter shit thing with a leg in plaster. Roy being crap too isn't going to change that.
 
The results aren't why I want rid. Honestly.

It's the fact he's an out and out shitbag.

He won't make a fucking decision for fear of getting it wrong.

He won't stand up & shout at the players.

He won't stand up & look the fans in the eyes after a defeat, or clap their support.

He won't tell reporters this is Liverpool FC & we have a right to expect effort from each & every player.

He won't tell the press we don't do relegation battles cos were Liverpool FC.

He won't admit to making mistakes.

He can't get the players performing for him.

That's why I want him gone.

Ah right...

Now isn't good enough
7th isn't good enough

See? Both not good enough. Do you get it now?

I don't give a shit, I'd snatch your hand off for it right now.
 
I wanted Benitez gone because I didn't think we could afford another transfer window with him in charge. Nor did I think he was a man to motivate and get the best out of a small squad. I championed Hodgson as a replacement because he proved himself capable of making shrewd signings in the Premiership, he got the best out of players who many had written off, and he was always respectful other managers and teams, which I admired. A past pedigree of winning loads of trophies didn't seem the be all and end all because of the condition the club was in. There was logic in the decision, but right now it's looks like we made - and I supported - the wrong choice and it's turning into a disaster.


I'm not going to defend him blindly because I wanted Roy here, but, after a completely unacceptable start, a small part of me still believes he will turn it around. Give him until Christmas and see where we're at then - but if fair to say an upturn in performance has to happen ASAP.

Point is most of us knew this was the wrong appointment.
[/quote]

Thing is, I actually didn't. I didn't think it was so bad. But I was wrong. The whole thing is a mess and considering the thing that everyone expected him to do - get everyone in the right frame of mind, fighting for each other and believing in themselves - is the thing he's failed at worst since day one, they should be changing the locks at his office right now.

I just hope that the dudes in the boardroom can throw their hands up and admit it too. Come on Purslow, I've got it off my chest and I feel a bit better for it. Just say you were wrong and sort it out.

Let's leave it out with the Tompkins love-in though, shall we? He's not suddenly become a brilliant, spot-on writer: he's as boring and long-winded as he ever was. The only difference now is that he's massively cheered up, as have most of the Rafa apologists, because he wrongly assumes that Hodgson not being good enough means everyone should suddenly realise that Rafa was good enough, after all.

Well, he wasn't. Sorry Paul (and KopKing, Asbo, rebel23 and all the other loonies on here).

[/quote]

ha ha YOU agreed with Hodgson's appointment, yet mention me as a loony? lol. Don't make this about Rafa, he's gone and you'll lose miserably. ( I'll bet you'll take 7th now) Rafa apologists? Yea so sorry he won the Champions League and made us the Number 1 team in Europe with one hand tied behind his back and was a whisker away from winning the League. You got what you wished for, I hope your choking on your bile.
[/quote]

Choking on my bile? I'm not bilious at all. I'm sad at the state our club's in, however, whereas you seem to be having a ball.

As I said, you're a loony.
 
Oh, and no, I wouldn't take 7th now. There are 31 games left: if we start playing like a team, we can still finish 5th. I would say 4th, but I think that's unlikely - and was, even before our terrible start to the season.

the crazy thing is that once we start winning games under a new manager, forth isn't too tough to consider. It's not like Arse/Citeh/United/Spurs aren't going to stop dropping points.

This league is wide open (except for first spot), once we get our SHIT together.

there's Five points between here and forth. That's four or five consecutive wins...

[/quote]

And this is the problem - in football it's so easy to see the worst. and then the manager starts talking about relegation.

Why take 7th when forth is still up for grabs? It's just 5 points away...

A few wins and forth is easily achievable. We need a manager who can come out and instill this belief in the the players. Not this fella who is as defeatist, as you'll ever likely see. He's out of his league.
 
Not sure who has annoyed me more, Hodgson for his total incompetence and general buffoonery or the re-emergence of KopKing with his ill-deserved smugness and self satisfaction at the plight of the club he claims to support!
