Don't most football managers, particularly successful ones? Wenger, Ferguson, Mourinho spring to mind.

Far too many closet liverpool fans on here......shame on you.

Horrible bullying USA corporate sport-franchise club.

Arrogant and yet at the same time ignorant fans....plus shitloads of Irish and Scandinavian tourists.

Sympathy for Evertonians but they're club is toxic from top down.
Like us, they'll be more likely to drop thru the championship than compete.

I agree they’re fantastic to watch but the man himself like most on his level is a terrible loser. Would rather them than Man City every time.

Moans about the schedule his team have, then plays the same starting 11 4 times in 2 weeks.

He’s a monumental prick. When Liverpool lose, his press conferences after are a delight.

Don't care what some of you say. I'm Cov and always will be BUT my Mrs was a Red by birth so want them to do well for her.
She passed away just as they came back to being a force again.

She watched all the Cov games with me (even div 2) and by the end was a Sky Blue.
She used to get more wound up than me when we had decisions go against us or we lost, she would go on about them all night whilst i was that's just the way it is (shit refs lower down the leagues).

She ended up being Red by birth, Sky Blue by love and boy did she adopt us.

But she always stayed a Red, whilst being a vocal Sky Blue.

Guess i'm a Sky Blue with a very soft spot for Liverpool.

Before she got so ill, we were going to open a bar out here and we're looking for a Liverpool/Cov name, think i even asked on here for ideas.
A beautiful woman, a beautiful personality and forever missed.

Keep positive memories in mind and plan good experiences to look forward to. The pain will never go away, but you will be able to live your life more comfortably as time goes on. I believe you can do it.

Easy for me to say I know, but I'm sure she would want you to carry on mate.

Went to that game yesterday, was a strange atmosphere. Everton fans were very angry from the off. Liverpool fans quiet untill the second half.

Her illness was very rare mate (a rare form of IBS, her body struggled to break down food), she had to sign a disclaimer to undergo treatment.
That was in England.

She then came back out here to be with me in GC and her skin started dropping off her body (i would have to clean up her skin after she moved) and breaking into blisters.View attachment 24504View attachment 24505

We went to the doctors out here and she was rushed into hospital, put on drips for almost 3 weeks.

They said the treatment England put her on was the cheapest of the cheapest and they don't mix well together (i guess that's why she had to sign the disclaimer.

Once it was out of her system and she picked up some strength she started to get a lot better and was smiling and laughing again (whilst still weak).

A few weeks later she then passed in her sleep, the autopsy said the lining in her stomach perforated and she bled to death (internally) in her sleep.

The hospital out here blamed the treatment she got in England, blaming all the cheap drugs (when she got out here they put her on very similar ones, just not the cheap ones with all the side effects).

Please, if any of you or your partners/Kids/friends get the same offer be very careful.

Research it.

What drugs do they want to put you on and are there similar but more expensive ones?
if so ask why if it's a trail they are not using the best medication available to test the results.

The pictures I'm about to put on are due to her treatment in England, please be careful before any agreement.

The Liverpool fans on here will be happy, Klopp has signed a 2yr contract extension taking him to 2026.

Man Utd players just look like they couldn't care less. Chief culprit is Rashford I'm afraid, just wandering around and utterly ineffective as an attacking force.

They keep changing manager but nothing is improving. Think they need to clear out some of the stars who can't be bothered but would the fans accept a couple of years rebuilding with a young team, probably not.

It's a bit strange with their use of young players, in some cases it feels tokenistic, eg what's McTominay supposed to be

Undoubtedly. Although it almost seems an understatement to say Ronaldo is world class. He is simply one if the best players of all time.

As for Lukaku...I thought he would be good in this team but he has been dreadful.

A Var ref that's 20 years younger than Mike Dean. Don't think he's ready to overrule the great man.

Man Utd need a big clear out, too many overpaid prima donnas that really couldn't give a shit

If it wasnt for Ronaldo and his goals I'm sure they'd be mid-table, no doublt theres a stat out there that will show the league position without Ronaldo

Why they've decided on an interim manager for over half the season knowing he will be going upstairs is beyond me. I'm also convinced Fergie is still close to the club to be involved with decision making, he needs to back off now, its been nearly 10 years!

I do wonder where they'd be if Moyes weren't sacked, look at West Ham it proves he isn't a bad manager!

Going to take years to catch up with Liverpool/Man City, could be history repeating iteself with 30 years without a title just like Liverpool

Probably will be, seems to me they are caught between short term commercial pressures and the need for a longer term focus. Fergie truth be told didn't leave the squad in great shape and whoever followed him had an almost impossible task. That said I don't think many forecast no league titles a decade afterwards.

As a club it's just spent years flailing around hoping for something to stick

I'm not so sure I agree with the notion that you take Ronaldo out of the team and they become mid-table.

Someone else would be playing and scoring goals and then you also don't have to change your entire style of play to suit one man.

If Ronaldo wasn't there they could more effectively play 4-3-3 and I bet you Sancho and Rashford would have bagged a lot more. Then if the money spent on Ronaldo was used for a proper 9 to lead the line they'd be better off.

17 goals isn't a bad return bearing in mind the team is of low confidence, would a proper number 9 get any more goals than Ronaldo? Only Salah has more this season. And would a system change mean Sancho and Rashford get more goals? I'm not so sure personally

Their off the ball game is dreadful too, not running back into position, not closing down players, no leadership, nothing.

I do believe if they clear out some of the crap and players that don't want to be in the summer and bring in a few decent young signings there they'll have a better season. It's going to take a few years until they'll be challenging for the title again
