Re: Brendan Rogers

Mr Wenger won nothing as a player.
Mr Benitez won nothing as a player
MR Mourinho won nothing as a player
MR Ferguson won nothing as a player
The last x England managers won nothing as players.

The list is endless.

Why can't managers sign players better than they were?

Re: Brendan Rogers

I don't see much wrong with what he said.

ALL managers at all levels need to be positive. I would have loved to have won a trophy recently.

Wenger will do it I know, but sadly Liverpool have won more than us (only last year), we can't knock them on that count.

Manager Longevity

My man Arsene is now the longest serving manager in the league.

What is worrying is each of the 91 other clubs have changed manager since we won a trophy!

But when the federal law comes in, will that effect Fox?

I don't like the amount of betting ads, so I hope it does get cut down.

Does it cover Pay TV?

Not sure how that will work, as adverts are national on Fox.

What did they do in France? Shirts weren't allowed alcohol branding on the front, but did French TV show games from overseas?

Re: Chelski win Europa Cup Final

So he went from UEFA Cup, to European Cup, Super Cup and retained European Cup. For historians amongst us, the Super Cup was Liverpool v Hamburg, with Kevin Keegan returning to Liverpool with SV Hamburg...and they were thumped 6-0 with a McDermott hat trick.

Not a bad effort.

And in no way does it say he was not in danger in that game. It' all history now, but he will be in debt to Robins during his drunk retirement.

Re: Best Manager EVER

How old were you when Paisley was in charge? I think you only know Ferguson.

And what football did you see of his (Paisley)? I assume you were in Aus so relied on a clip here and there.

I grew up with Bertie Mee...another great man, I guess you haven't even heard of him.
