The Moose Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Andy Gray on sky sports said that Sourness is the right man to get us back on track. He has the right pedigree to do the job and wherever he has been he has won trophies. I hope Gartside knows what he is doing
Bobcat Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I'm sure that's something most Liverpool fans won't agree with!!
no balls Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I'm sure that's something most Liverpool fans won't agree with!! And a fair few Barcodes too! Sky Sports love-in possibly?
deputy dogger Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 if its a choice between him or megson, its souness for me !
The Moose Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 I'm sure that's something most Liverpool fans won't agree with!! Won the FA cup in 1992 under his management I think.
globaldiver Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Won the FA cup in 1992 under his management I think. And lost it quickly the next season to some 3rd division outfit!
no balls Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Won the FA cup in 1992 under his management I think. I was talking to a Liverpool fan on Friday night. He said Souness was one of the greatest players to wear the shirt but also, if he hadn't have gone when he did, he would've been one of the most destructive managers they'd even had. Now I spoke to a Barcode on Saturday who didn't have a good word to say about him. Now, I don't actually speak to Dingles as a rule, but I bet if I did, they'd probably say similar comments. I concede, I may have met folk who differ from the norm in their views, but I do doubt it.
deputy dogger Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 the trouble is there is nobody else throwing their cap in the ring, he is available and Gartside may think its the easiest option
Casino Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) pray tell why do you think gartside may be interested in the easy option? do you think he fancies a one way ticket to obscurityville? Edited October 21, 2007 by Casino
no balls Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Sammy Lee was the easy option !! Exactly. So, why would he go with the easy option again then?
Bobcat Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Greame Souness as a manger has failed everywhere he has managed.... having worked with and in Liverpool for a number of years..I am certain of this mans credentials... as a player he was a god... as a manager he was a arse....
Casino Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Sammy Lee was the easy option !! no stringing brown and/or mcdonald along would've been the easy option he brought lee in to take over from sam when he left
Bobcat Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 what defines a failed manager? yes i am quoting but... The four years which followed were uneventful for Souness and disastrous for Liverpool. There was little success on the field, with only a 2-0 victory in the 1992 FA Cup final over Second Division Sunderland, but poor tactics, ill-judged transfer dealings and poor man management caused the decline of one of the greatest football club in Europe.
Zulu Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I've supported Bolton Wanderers unquestioningly for over 40 years. If we appoint Old Whirling Eyes as manager now I will take my well-earned sabbatical. I will return when he moves on in two years time. I hope we're not in League 2.
Burndens Bogs Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Greame Souness as a manger has failed everywhere he has managed.... How did he fail at Blackburn?
Guest quins Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 How did he fail at Blackburn? Only a promotion and a league cup victory to show for an outrageously expensively assembled squad of underachievers? Grabbi for ?7 million is the obvious one, not to mention Andy Cole (?7 million and ?80k a week) and Dwight Yorke (?67k a week), but rather than motivate the dressing room he alienated their best player at the time (lifelong fan and local boy David Dunn) and apparently attempted to break Dwight Yorke's leg in a tackle in training because he wasn't putting 100% in. He's arguably failed everywhere he's been except at Rangers, which is only a two horse race anyway

Zulu, hard as it would be to do, I would be joining you
no balls Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Zulu, hard as it would be to do, I would be joining you I really don't know what to do if he does come. Any body got any wonderful suggestions as a protest (apart from the pitchfork one, obviously)? I have a season ticket and will be blowed if I'm not using it to the max this season.

I have known Zulu for that long and he has been one of the most loyal of the loyal. P1sses me off that the club would consider appointing a manager who would have an immediate negative effect on attendances (especially the blind faith fans like Zulu). Hopefully, it's just paper talk. Edited October 22, 2007 by bolty58
