Is this one of the shills?

"The Red Sox owner is John W Henry, who has a net worth of around £545m, but it is the CEO Larry Lucchino who is said to have been holding talks with the under-fire Liverpool board. He specialises in franchises with plans for new stadiums. Henry was behind the takeover of the Red Sox in 2002 for close to £420m — and they have won two World Series' since. A source said: ‘They know what it takes to win trophies. This would be a good solution for Liverpool.’ Henry enraged Red Sox fans in 2006 with a plan to change their kit and raise prices by 200 per cent." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1318053/Liverpool-war-Boston-Red-Sox-launch-takeover-bid.html

I also have a little more on the New England Sports Ventures (NESV) proposal. I understand that Robert Tilliss, one of the partners of Inner Circle Sports, the New York-based investment and advisory firm which is advising NESV, helped secure control of Liverpool for Hicks and Gillett back in 2007. http://blogs.news.sky.com/kleinman/Post:71fcbf72-08c6-47ac-8dc5-90a1535f7124

Well, actually it's about Kev passing on a rumour that the manager is trying to deflect his own huge culpability for the loss to Northampton onto the shoulders of one player. That's a quite different thing.

The Paddock below the Director's box is also a very good option. The targets are all in the front row, dugout end.

Ah right. I was confused by your comment "Was also proud of the way the Kop drowned out the boos that rang out from the rest of the ground at the final whistle".

Top of his profession. They deserve a share.

Are you really trying to claim there were no boos from the Kop?

I was watching Kenny during that and he wouldn't look in the direction of the Kop, anywhere but there. He was out of his seat and down the staircase about half a second after the final whistle. Didn't want to be a focus I suppose. Difficult position.

“Expectations are very high,” he said. “You cannot live in a dream world of how wonderful it would be if every time one of our players got the ball, he raced past four defenders and smashed it into the net. That would be living in a fantasy world. That is not going to happen in plenty of games in Europe and the Premier League. “I would accuse you of being unrealistic if you are suggesting we should doing what Arsenal, who have had the same team for the last six years, and Chelsea, who have just won the league, are doing. We finished seventh last season. I don’t understand why you are suggesting we should be comparing ourselves every day with Chelsea or Manchester United at this early stage of the season.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/8038680/Roy-Hodgson-launches-strident-defence-of-his-start-to-life-as-Liverpool-manager.html

ROY IN DESPAIR Friends worried about Hodgson By Neil Ashton ROY HODGSON is at breaking point after a damning assessment of his Liverpool team. The Kop chief has confided in friends that they are SIX players short of challenging at the top of the Premier League. Liverpool go into Sunday's game against Blackpool in the bottom three for the first time since 1984 and pals are concerned Hodgson will not be able to cope with the pressure of transforming the team. They have noticed a change in Hodgson's usually relaxed manner and fear the pressure of turning Liverpool around is beginning to affect him. Last season he appeared in complete control after guiding Fulham to the Europa League final and 12th placed in the Premier League. Hodgson will not quit Liverpool, but fears that any potential new owners are likely to want their own man in charge at Anfield. The Kop's desperate financial situation prevented Hodgson from making widespread changes to the squad in th summer and fear it's his reputation on the line. After holding out for the England job following the World Cup, he eventually joined Liverpool when it became clear Fabio Capello would not be fired. He was initially convinced he could tweak the squad and turn them into a top four team again after succeeding Rafa Benitez. Instead his conservative methods in training and on the pitch have been met by a brickwall. The culture at the club is playing attacking football, but Hodgson wants his team to play on the counter. Hodgson's relationship with Fernando Torres is already strained and the World Cup winner has yet to respond to his new manager. Liverpool will attempt to turn their season around at home to Blackpool on Sunday after a dreadful start. They have won just once in the Premier League this season and Hodgson is struggling to make an impact. Three of his signings - Paul Konchesky, Christian Poulsen and Raul Meireles - have yet to impress. Hodgson has privately assessed the Liverpool squad and has conceded they are a long way short of Manchester United and Chelsea. Many of his influential players are struggling to adapt to his training methods and want Hodgson to be more attack minded to satisfy supporters. Hodgson has other changes in mind, but fears a backlash from supporters if he drops some of Liverpool's influential stars. A close friend said: "We're worried about Roy, he's not the same person. "Last year he thrived as the underdog, but he doesn't like criticism and doesn't enjoy people questioning his methods. "It's too early to say he regrets taking the job, but it's dawning on him just how big it is. He's not a quitter, he's carry on." http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/liverpool/1015292/ROY-IN-DESPAIR.html

I don't know, but I have seen a clip where he got very arsey about some very innocuous questioning.

Should they f*ck.

He's sh*t at maths too.

In a 22 team league.

Ha. Loved that one first time around.

That generally is how it goes here, people even try arguing with Kev, but with your comments most just point and laugh. Maybe that should tell you something.

That would be our worst start for over 50 years wouldn't it?

Maybe, but jumping up to scream at a c*nt of a ref isn't something to be slagging him for.

That's uncannily close.

No, he's doing much less shouting and directing than he used to do. He's much quieter than he's ever been in either of his stints here. I've never seen so little animation in a Liverpool dugout and I never thought I'd see a muted Sammy Lee.
