Somehow I don't think Roy would be able to attract such players. If we had an established continental manager maybe.

Bav,
If, as I hope come January, RH is NOT the manager of the club, then I believe he should NOT be the guy tapping up potential new signings. Any player with half a brain will see what he has achieved since he started with LFC (worst start ever ??), and do a runner straight away.
No, I believe KK and other LFC legends should be the ones, alongside NESV, to talk to players about joining LFC and bringing us back to where we should rightfully be.
If I were to be tapped up by KK, I'd place a helluva lot more kudos in what HE has to say than RH.
Leave RH out of this, FFS !!

er, that's KK's job as technical director.

He's employed to (amongst other things) to meet potential new players and convince them that coming to Liverpool is the right step.

And so it should be...

The point being that any suggestion that RH might be used as leverage to lure a player to LFC is absolute nonsense.

IMO it would do the opposite....

I believe 'deadwood' is Babel's maiden name

How do you know they're looking at the next ten years? 

For all you know NESV bought LFC because we were available on a cheap. Such a historical club with a global brand name for 300 million is peanuts. So they might not stick around that long, once they get good enough profit on their investment they'll probably sell us.

But it is the selling of senior key players like Henry, Veira, etc that caused their downfall. You can't win the league with just youngsters. Hopefully NESV sees this as Arsenal's weakness and not just look at the arsenal model as a business. IMO what the mancs are doing is the right way to go, mixing youngsters with the old guards. I won't be very impressed with NESV if Carra and Gerrard decided to leave the club because they can only get 1 year extension after 30 years of age or something like that.

Since he left chelsea because they would not give him 100k a week and joined us for the low low price of 90k a week + a 6 mill sign on fee i'd say he went for the money.
