If that means getting a new manager, then so be it. But it will be done properly and over time with the RIGHT PEOPLE, and not on knee jerk decisions. Go and support Newcastle if you want things done otherwise.


Firstly, Ciggy's angry at the prospect of him still being here, which is perfectly understandable. Like ER was saying after the match, he's gotten so used to be sh!te away from home he's passed angry, that's pretty telling I would say

sorry but didn't everyone want Rafa out because we had the players to challenge but obviously weren't?

Hodgson isn't good enough, that's certainly my feeling on the matter. For all his experience in the game he has nothing in his CV that warrants him the Liverpool job IMO

so in reference to your use of the term 'right people', I suggest we find them

Ciggy posts the same old drivel and drags this place down. She's never here when Roy's won and she never posts anything constructive either. She also shouts STAKER to anyone who replies to her posts with a question  :laugh:

If Roy isn't the right man then someone please tell me who is.

Well it's a given that Roy isn't the man isn't it? Or do you think he is?

Let's look at who's better, well there's currently 11 better in the Premiership, if the table doesn't lie.

We're never going to attract Guardiola or Maureen, so that leaves who's currently available, or who could be pursuaded to take control.

Joachim Low, Guus Hiddink, Frank Rijkaard, spring to mind I'd be happy with any of them, my favourite would be Rijkaard, CL Winner, double La Liga Winner, and for the most part the Current  Barcelona Squad was assembled/given their break in first team football by Rijkaard!

I also like his philosophy on the way the game should be played, he speaks the language and most importantly is Available.

So you now have a non Rafa reply, a Manager with a pedigree both as a Player and Coach, who can boast more than an LMA trophey and a couple of Winners Medal's in the Northern Reindeer Sledge Pulling Championship on his CV!

Your thought's please;

Allardyce is free...

He should never have been given the job in the first place.

Hes wiped the floor with the players today why? Because Roy

Image Hodgson has the worst away record in exsistance, and people expect fans to be happy about that?

Im sorry as the great Shanks said first is first second is nothing, and when the manager comes out today and says we might not even finish in the top half of the table ofcourse i get angry.

I love my club with all my heart and three years of fighting wasting my time and energy only to be given Roy Hodgson as a parting gift as totally left me and others deflated.

World Class manager ???

We replaced a good one to an average, not a world class to an average.

I agree, Roy needs to go, its for the best.

If winning 2 Spanish titles and the Champions' league (and a further final) in less than a decade of management isn't World Class, what is?

'Never under estimate the power of motivation.'

Rafa took a lot of criticism, and in my opinion, quite legitimately so for overseeing sustained decline on the pitch. That gave as clear an indication as was needed that he wasn't going to be able to turn it around, and it followed that a change of manager was required. Having taken the treble winners to ten points off the top, a hammering at WHL, and a hammering at Werder Bremen, this "world class" manager shows no signs of regaining his touch. Criticism for sure, but hate? I don't think so. Going by some of the comments made against Roy on here, though - that he is an "owl faced kunt" who needs to "f'uck off" and "keep his mouth shut" (etc.) - it would not be unreasonable to think that he's something of a hate figure. I never thought it would come to that, but it seems that sections of our support really aren't that different at all to the supporters of Newcastle or Chelsea. Through the wind and the rain.....apparently not.

It's easy to look at results without analysing the reasons behind them. A quick glance at the injury record at Inter this season shows why they are struggling. (Injuries brought on in part by the 70-80 games + the World Cup played last season.)
The fact that Mourinho left an old squad behind with little-to-no provision for the following years (knowing full well he wouldn't be there long enough to worry about it) doesn't help matters. The well documented post-glory slump which every team goes through adds to the mix as well. All valid reasons why Inter are struggling, but all reasons dismissed by the people blinded by their hate for Rafa. (And it IS hate - "fat Spanish waiter", "Manuel", etc.)

At least Rafa did something to earn our respect and loyalty. What has Roy ever done, other than give the short-sighted idiots someone to hold up against Benitez?

For the record, this "sustained decline" being "1 season"? That, my friend, is not sustained, especially when we got to the semi final of the Europa cup. Had Torres not been injured against Benfica, who knows - we may well have won it.

Kewell, were've you gone lad, you give it the Big "I AM" with Nanny "I was with Broughton" speach at the Press Conference, you berate other long time members about their point's of view re the present Manager, you ask a pertanent question re who is better than the Present Manager, then you live up to your namesake when given an answer to your question and disappear from the field of play.

Not surprising really for a so called Journo, What's happened mate ' you stub your toe coming out for the second half of the debate?? or have you pulled your hamstring and you can't get to your keyboard?

Just like the people you say are not around when you want to press home your own point of view, whilst at the same time trying to belittle them, you disappear like your namesake when posed with an answer to your question which might just provoke a grown up debate.
