"we better ask Kev how he feels about that appointment!!"
--------------------------------------
Well Bill, I've got no problems with Rodgers' appointment. He seems a good manager with strong ideas. He's gonna need a lot of time, as he's inherited a big ship that's been listing for years now. I think the high expectations of LFC fans, who still expect success and silverware every year, doesn't help (something that isn't helped by the team still winning things most years, despite being in decline - look at Arsenal who haven't won a trophy for a very long time but still, importantly, dine at the Champions League Table most years).
I actually cannot abide this new 'every moron has a voice' situation with twitter and facebook - and yes, I am aware of the irony of my typing here  - it doesn't help matters much. You know the ones...SACK THE MANAGER!!! SACK THE BOARD!!! BRING KING KENNY BACK!!!
I'll take a steady ship season this year. The shambles of the deadline day hasn't helped either, with the board asking Rodgers to offload some deadwood and unwanted players (he did) and promising to bring some fresh faces he required in (they didn't).
The eternal optimist in me still sees us challenging the top four come March-April

nice piece in todays Sun - and maybe other papers - talking about the americans at Liverpool more ruthless stance on transfers after bankrolling Dalglish's rather poor-choice spend up and not getting much back.
Seems to me they have gone too far the other way now and have stuffed themselves.
They wont be the first team to have rich people in the boardroom who apply worldwide business rules to football and dont quite get it.
I know a Prem MD who told me a story about a player they were after. The Chairman wanted a month to make sure every aspect of the deal was looked at. The MD said I told the Chairman the player will be at new club by Tuesday if we dither. They dithered. He signed for a new club by Monday night.

anyway, this thread should be dead till next saturday!
Poxy england playing rollover moldova and various whipping boys in the easiest group anyone could have drawn them in even if the draw was done on fantasy island. Wake me up in October next year when they top the group.
The thing is, everyone knows they will, as ever, come up short when the tournament starts proper. It almost seems like a waste of time and as for the papers doing pullouts and drumming up enthusiasm for world cup prospects, I aint buying it.
