Sterling's no where near ready
[/quote]

Yeah I know I just think that their are options from the youth system. So in other words I agree, but I think Amoo or Eccleston classify as a better player to throw on to spark something than Maxi.
 
Keep eye on De Matteo at WBA.
Pellegrini when our club gets sold.
Oh and Jesus Jorge at Benfica deserves a mention he worked his way to Benfica through lesser teams.
Doesn't seem too bad.

I want us to start winning football matches.

Playing the youth 'talent' is a long, long way down my list of priorities.

Ahh...but quite a few of our youngins are better than the crap thats being used as fillers for the squad. i.e. Shelvey, Pacheco (this guy needs to be given a game as a second striker/no 10), Sterling (probably already much better than Ryan Babel) and Wisdom with a body like that should be ready earlier than most CBs.
[/quote]

There's a lot of assumptions there.

You're right, I'm being silly but I just think it is atrocious that Shelvey isn't getting game time. The kid is ready and even if he has some growing pains in our first team he can already delivers a better corner and free kick than our Captain (this could result in 5 more goals this year). He has great vision, passing ability, comfortable with the ball and most important he will help us control possession and keep us ticking. He's our 3rd best cm no doubt about it.
 
If we have any money to spend then I want Riijkaard. He likes a 4-3-3, he's well respected, he's young, he speaks good English and he prefers footballers over workers.

If we haven't got any money to spend, it doesn't matter who we appoint.

irrelevent.

NEW OWNERS.
[/quote]

Certainly the obvious priority. Budgie's the next on the fucking list, though. Then Pursslow and Broughton. Then some players.

All out. All change. Start again.
[/quote]Broughton has said that he will transition but no need to go beyond that why the need to oust Purslow given he will know all of the potential new owners

Who's the Valencia manager? That's not Quique Sanchez Flores is it? Or is he the Atletico manager? Fuck it, get either in. Anybody is bound to be better than wind-sock-budgie-face.

*Remembers he said the same about Benitez*

Jesus Jorge? Well we should appoint the *real* Jesus. Maybe he could resurrect some decent personnel for us. Shankly for starters.
 
The Atletico madrid manager did very well last season considering no one expected him to win the europa cup and go on to beat inter in the super cup .

Flores managed Valencia a few seasons back. Valencia's current manager is Unai Emery who looks to be a talented young manager.

Liverpool Line Up Frank Rijkaard as Replacement for Exit Bound Anfield Boss Roy Hodgson


Liverpool are reportedly preparing the ground for a move to bring in Galatasaray Manager Frank Rijkaard to replace under fire Anfield boss Roy Hodgson. The club’s new owners are ready to give the current Liverpool boss until January to turn things around but will then look to bring in the former Barcelona boss ahead of the re-opening of the transfer window.

The 48 year old former Ajax and AC Milan playing legend has not had the best of times in Turkey and after taking his side to a disappointing third placed finish last term has seen his Istanbul outfit slump to an even worse start this time around.

The signs are that the Dutchman is ready to leave Galatasaray and would jump at a high profile job and a move to Liverpool would be a useful way to reignite a managerial career that already has some notable achievements. During his five year reign at the Nou Camp he led the Catalan giants to two La Liga titles and the 2006 Champions League title.

The attack minded manager would be a marked contrast to the more defensive pragmatic approach employed by Roy Hodgson who has presided over a truly woeful start to the Premier League campaign which leaves Liverpool second from bottom in the Premier League table.

It seems that the new owner John W.Henry is willing to take the financial hit that would come from the termination of Hodgson’s contract which is believed would set the club back £3m.

Another gamble. He did well at Barca but also had an incredibly gifted side. And while it would be refreshing to have an attack minded manager, just as pressing is our inability to defend and there would be big question marks over him coming into the Premiership and shoring things up at the back.

I'd rather go with a short term option like Kenny NOW than wait until January and start sniffing around other managers, it won't be good for the club or Hodgson and if things continue to be this dire, leaving it 'til January could be catastrophic, especially if the option then is to bring in someone like Rijkaard who hasn't got any experience in English Football.
 
I thought rijkaard was an extremely gifted manager and people are far too quick to dismiss his achievements because of the players barca had, so what, barca have ALWAYS had talented players but until rijkaard's appoint had only one the european cup once in their history.
 
Is Hodgson being paid 3 million a year?

I find that a bit hard to believe, and as the release clause is a year's wages I don't think it'll be as high as 3 million.
 
As for who to bring in, I wanted someone young and hungry, and still do.

Rijkaard would be a gamble worth taking tho.

he has shown himself capable of brining through youth and we have very talented youngsters. he is certainly not afraid of thrusting them into the first team.
you'd hope he wouldn't think poulsen is a better option that shevley for example
