Love the way he called himself the Normal One.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well if he turns our fortunes around he can call himself the Normal One as much as he wants

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

You've won the league this season already just be appointing him if you read what some people have to say.

It will be interesting to see how long he gets and if you're 6 points off the top this time next year if he will be sacked like Rodgers...

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes some people do go OTT but if he gets 4th this season he will have achieved a miracle already IMHO.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Be interesting to see who sacks who, his length of contract doesn't fill me with optimism

Big Sam appointed new Sunderland manager....

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

My opinions on both.

Jurgen Klopp, wonderful for Liverpool, not so wonderful if they persist with this transfer committee lark. Absolutely pointless appointment if Liverpool are going to continue with stuff like this:

Sam Allardyce will take just about anything won't he? One dire north east team to the other.

He doesn't stand a chance, he's gone within the next year like every other hero they've claimed is a god, from Steve Bruce, Martin O'Neill, Gus Poyet and even Roy Keane. Most of those were responsible for their own downfall though.

Dick Advocaat was hung out to dry, persuaded by the fans into joining an empty shell, there's just no money, where is it? the bloke was promised quality first team signings and once again Sunderland either didn't buy anything or bought absolute crap. There's something much deeper occurring at Sunderland that will make it's way out eventually. You can't blame Advocaat for the dire state of the squad.

Allardyce has the task of getting that team right the way through till August with likely minimal signings (Loans and a few million pops)

People constantly ask why Sunderland and Newcastle are bad despite changing managers and spend a bucket load of money, it's simple, they're both rotten to the core and the majority of fans are fickle enough to accept the manager is at fault all the time. There's a few calling time on McClaren already. He had players he wanted and got most, why didn't he get the last few despite Newcastle having more than enough money available given they've also committed to make £50 million + any other available funds available in every window for the next 4 years. It's the inside of Newcastle yet again causing the problems.

Where's this Ellis Short bloke that should be standing up to be counted? Where's the money at?

Right, how about a joke instead?

Ivan Toney (Newcastle United youngster was asked this)

Question: Who do you look up to in the first team?
Toney: “The way Pa**** Cisse is so clinical in front of goal is something I admire. Err.. ok

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Klopp stated in his press interview that he has no concerns about the transfer committee as its quite common on the continent.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Just a thought, does the new Liverpool managers barber 'clip Klopp' ?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

The headline " Jurgen Flopp" is just waiting to be used.....

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Will the Anfield stand be renamed the Klopp?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

He should've waited till he seen who is on the committee and what a mess they've contributed to making before making those concerns known

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yep that's exactly my point and thus the quote given earlier. I'd like to assume Klopp could attract big names, but what's the point if they're simply going to say nah, pick from these instead. I'm sure Rodgers didn't want to sell Suarez and I'm sure Klopp wouldn't in the same position but they decided that £70 million was a better deal than potentially winning the league.

Rodgers and that committee have spent £300 million and I'm not showing bias but what do they actually have to show for it? Benteke :confused: Sturridge? :confused:

That Sturridge season was 50% him and 50% Suarez making him.
