OK, back on topic ... Personally, I think that we will get a left-footed attacking midfielder and a striker this January ... I am pretty much certain that the left-footed attacking midfielder will be Keisuke Honda ... As for the striker, I am still not sure, but I have a felling that it will be Ricky van Wolfswinkel ...

Unfortunately, I think that there is a serious danger of Roy staying in charge until the end of the season ...

I bet this is the first case of a world class player looking disinterested while playing under a mediocre manager ... Yup, we should sell Torres and buy Carlton Cole ... He would do wonders under Roy ...

Well, it is an away game ... What's the surprise, really ?

Roy is not the man to take us where we want to be ...

The most talented manager under the age of 40 in Europe ... And he is crazy as f*ck ...

If the new owners really have some balls, they would hire this crazy f*cker ...

Personally, I would welcome some young and talented manager like Roberto Di Matteo, with Kenny Dalglish as Director of Football ...

Oct 23 2010 by Dominic King, Liverpool Echo Liverpool have checked on PSV Eindhoven's Ibrahim Afellay. The Holland midfielder, 24, is available on a Bosman next summer but could sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign suitors – among them Atletico Madrid and Manchester United – in January. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-fc/liverpool-fc-news/2010/10/23/defiant-roy-hodgson-hits-out-at-sad-quit-rumours-as-liverpool-fc-eye-ibrahim-afellay-100252-27528996/

With Broughton and Purslow both stepping down from their positions, Roy is a dead man walking ... I expect for him to be sacked after the defeat against Chelsea ...

To be honest, I would rather keep Roy than see Maureen as LFC manager ...

Can we swap managers with England ?

If Roy stays in charge, we will go down ...

New Liverpool owner John Henry & NESV to spend 'wisely' Monday, 18 October 2010 Liverpool's new owner John Henry has warned he will not throw money at the club in a bid to solve their problems. Henry, whose NESV group sealed a £300m takeover on Friday, watched the Reds slip to 19th in the Premier League with Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Everton. "I don't have 'Sheikh' in front of my name," said the American, referring to Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour. "When we spend a dollar, it has to be wisely. We can't afford contracts that do not make long-term sense." He added: "We have to be smart, bold, aggressive." The takeover of Liverpool by Henry's New England Sports Ventures (NESV) eliminated the acquisition debt placed on the club by previous owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett. But on-field troubles persist and the derby loss at Goodison Park leaves Roy Hodgson's side second-bottom of the English top flight with only six points from their opening eight games and a goal difference of minus six. Key players such as Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres have struggled for form, while summer signings Joe Cole, Christian Poulsen, Raul Meireles and Paul Konchesky have yet to make an impact. Off the pitch, meanwhile, funding issues have delayed the start of work on Liverpool's proposed 60,000-seater stadium in Stanley Park. But despite the club's current plight, Henry has refused to give assurances over transfer budgets or plans for the new stadium. "What am I thinking? How much work this is going to be. How steep the learning curve is going to be. This is not going to be easy," said the 61-year-old, whose company NESV also owns the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise. "We realise the challenge that lies ahead if we are going to go toe-to-toe with the other big clubs. We are not asking for a long honeymoon. This is a contact sport we are in and the going can get rough sometimes. We realise that. "We are not going to make any promises but we are going to listen and consider." NESV, Liverpool and their major creditors Royal Bank of Scotland were accused of an "epic swindle" by Hicks, claiming the club had been severely undervalued. Henry, whose history with the Red Sox suggests there will be significant investment to come over the coming months, denied that was the case. And although he may not have access to the same level of funds as City's owners, the Abu Dhabi United Group, he plans to make money and not waste it on interest payments as the previous owners did. "There were big financial issues but in the end we made a decision we really wanted to compete at this level," Henry told the Liverpool Echo. "I know some people are saying this was a cheap price. There is no way we look at this as a cheap price for this club. "When we arrived at the Red Sox, the New York Yankees were a juggernaut and it wasn't that much of a rivalry. I believe we turned it into a rivalry where we have gone toe-to-toe with the Yankees even though they have got a much higher revenue. They keep going up but we have gone up faster. "When we looked at Liverpool, the first thing that struck us was there are opportunities here to really build a winner. "The revenue potentials around the world - it is a global football club - and especially with the financial fair play rules, it is really going to be revenue that drives how good your club can be in the future. "That is one thing that we think we are good at." NESV is backed by 17 investors and Henry stated: "I don't think any thinking individual buys a sports franchise these days - or an English football club - to make money. "Maybe a few, but they should have their head examined. It's about competing at the highest level in the world's largest sport for us, that's why we are here." On Monday, Henry and fellow co-owner Tom Werner met with local MPs and supporters' groups to discuss their plans for the club. "It was great to finally get to work," said Henry. "We met with supporters' group. No, we didn't give any assurances. We are here to listen and to learn from them and we learned a lot today. "I think the biggest issue was a sense of disenfranchisement and their sense of not being part of their own and that is what we discussed. This was a big first step today." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/9103269.stm

City, Real Madrid and Chelsea would pay 50 million ... He is not going to leave the Mancs on a cut-price ...

Now that the takeover is completed, Purslow should leave the club ... I hope that NESV would replace him with someone who is competent in terms of football ...

He would probably cost 50-60 million, and we could get much better player(s) for that money ...

He speaks some English, and has won the World Cup only 4 years ago ... You might like him or not, but the fact remains that he is the only available manager that is big enough to control the player power in our dressing room ...

He is also a huge waste of money, considering what we have paid for him ...

What World Cup ? The last one, or the one before ?

Personally, I would prefer Kenny until Rafa returns ... But, if we are looking for someone else that is a manager at LFC level, and is available, there is only one choice for me ...
