With the right man in charge i think the current crop of players are as good as any outside the top five clubs.

The manager isnt coming to a club which needs alot of work we need a manager that can make our current squad perform to their best standards and give 100% each game.

Agree with what you're saying there but the one thing that worries me more than anything in the squad of players we have is the total lack of pace.

Even a team like Norwich can threaten with the 'out ball' to Huckerby, similarly Pompey-Yakubu, Palace-Johnson but we don't have that in our locker.

Most teams in the Prem have that bit of pace about them, especially up front.

Nothing we can do about it now mind you, cheers Souey.

Isn't Jay Bothroyd supposed to be quick ?

Yeah we're led to believe he is.

Then again we'd all enjoy watching the world class DePedro, Andresen was an exciting talent and Grabbi had a great eye for goal.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Lets hope the new manager has better scouts! Did we ever find out who told Souness that Grabbi was a Centre forward who was worth all that money?

Stressfull times Not really sure who I would like as manager as none of the listed favourites are 100% certain to do a great job. They are all either unproven/relatively unproven or proven with a dodgy track record at other clubs.

Well I guess it's completely out of our hands and we will just have to sit back and pray it's not Houllier or Hoddle, I could just about cope with anyone else.

Thinking back though, when we appointed Souness, was everyone on here happy or were they apprehensive? We need to bare that in mind, no matter who we get it can still go pear shaped or go really well!

I remember getting Woy and Kidd and being happy and look what happened there!(Well Woy looked to be doing a great job until injuries and "player power" got him sacked).

Kamy or Jim

have you not got any snippets for us about who may just be the man to be put in the hot eat ?

Our lot played like they were in a Korma today.

Houllier, go and get him.

Houllier?!! Please tell me what you have been drinking today because I would love some to get over todays game!

Did you see what he did to Liverpool? He turned them into a boring defensive, too direct, long ball team from one of the most attractive football playing teams in the country. Before people start saying he won *a* treble, remember how they won those three cups, The league cup was won on pens after they got lucky, the FA Cup was won after they robbed Arsenal (remember those handballs by Mr. Judas Henchoz? - the most blatant handballs I've ever seen in my life!) and they won the UEFA Cup in goldern goal extra time from an own goal.

Anyway rant over, I'd rather have anyone that stupid Who-lier especially after the Neill thing.

Adopted Scouser maybe you should remove the 'adopted' part of your name
