Not worth it with you at times to be honest, it really isn't.

Righto Jon. Good lad.

Touchy. Toning down a little, is very different to saying it needs cutting out don't you think? Not suggesting admiration is a bad thing, and I admire his philosophy, and the speed with which some elements seem to be being implemented. He's been here 5 minutes though, and there's still a possibility his talk proves to be little more than that. Both he, and we, could look very stupid if the results don't come.

Fair assessment isn't it? Kudos BR for taking the time to talk, charm offensive though it may be, but it is just words at the end of the day. Football managers are judged on results, not ideals. I hope he gets time to implement his philosophy, and backing to bring in the players he feels can fulfil it, but some of the fawning needs toning down just a little.

You can have all the technology you like, but it wont give you an accurate read on match fitness. Probably thought he'd looked OK in training, and decided he was good enough to get through the game.

It's time to start the music.

Not so sure about that, UEFA wouldn't want to lose the appeal of Aguero, Torres, Tevez etc etc. In markets outside of that which a particular team operates in, it's the players whoare as big a pull as the teams, more so in a lot of cases.

I bet the thought of releasing him to Pearce brought him out in a cold sweat.

Ha Ha, really didn't like that suggestion did you ?

Potential owners/investors would be far more likely to bid for us in a healthy financial state, with huge sponsorship deals in place, but with a squad looking like upper mid table. The previous lack of interest was largely due to the horrendous financial situation H&G put us in. The squad's still now only a player or two short of challenging realistically for top 4, and that's where the money is. I'm not saying I think they are looking to sell, just that if they were, they'd be doing what they are now. Same as if they were looking to atract investment, such as through flotation as Wayne mentioned. There is nothing to suggest they aren't looking to sell/attract investment, put it that way.

Yep, in Baseball they could fix things pretty quickly with a few smart moves, but it remains to be seen if that is indeed their strategy. The timing is too coincidental for me, they splashed cash on the Red Sox at a similar time to splashing out on us, both spending sprees were a failure, they're now trying to undo both. The 2 sports are totally different, so if it's purely strategic I think they're mad to be trying to run us both with similar principles.. A sale, or flotation, would be preceded by the kind of cost cutting they are currently undertaking. You could well be right, it'll be interesting to see if any clues emerge over the coming weeks and months as to their intentions. It's difficult to keep these things totally quiet.

What about for LFC ?

That kind of post you refer to can't be representative of more than a couple of percent of the board surely ? Unless I've missed something.
