Roberto? on 14:57 - Dec 4 by Darran | He’s not even in the top three. |
7 years in the Premier League says differently and unless you're the most stubborn of fans it was him, without doubt, that laid the foundations for this. | |

Roberto? on 15:09 - Dec 4 by TheResurrection | OK so if we'd got those 4 to sign contracts then, you know, learning from our mistakes, we'd be loads more out of pocket!!!!! Carry on with your explanation.... |
Sorry res/boxO your having one of your bizarre moments I think. Remember when Brendan signed a new contract? Yeah that one, well, it had an improved compo agreement in it. Whereas with Roberto it was not so good. We didn't have the foresight. We did somethign similar with Wilfred before he went to Man City. That is learning a lesson in that we wouldn't lose out that way again. Now, if that doesn't help you I'm afraid there's nothing further I can do for you or help you with. | | | |

Darren, that's irrelevant and moot. He laid the foundations that Sousa took advantage of, to an extent and Brendan fully capitalised on. | | | |

Don’t care. Toshack,Rodgers and Laudrup are the top three. | |

OK but renewing a managers contract with added compo in means it would cost the Club more to sack him. So it's not just as simple as that is it as the manager has to be in demand for it to mean anything. I hardly think that's a stick to beat the Club up on. Getting lucky with a manager isn't learning from mistakes, it's just getting lucky. | |

Roberto? on 15:27 - Dec 4 with 2240 views | whoflungdung | Tosh also saw us disintegrate at a rate of knots whereby we actually failed to pay a single penny for some players , having a toxic dressing room whilst at it, which seems reminiscent of our current collection of cocks | |

I get that. But a lesson learnt is just that. And Rogders had been successful when we renewed his contract. So, as the saying goes strengthen your position from a position of strength. By the way I asnt beating the club with any stick it was merely an observation that we keep repeating mistakes. | | | |

Roberto? on 10:55 - Dec 4 by Dr_Winston | Both a proven Premier League failure and complete c*nt. I'd say it's nailed on. |
Ha. I guess it's testament to how far we've fallen away from our footballing ethos that the prospect of his return doesn't turn my stomach. It'd be a bit like taking back the ex who cheated on you over some period of time, emptied the bank account and took all the furniture though ... | |

Roberto? on 16:37 - Dec 4 with 2156 views | Dr_Winston | It's one hell of a stretch to give credit for our seven seasons in the Premier League to someone who f*cked off two years before we even got here. Had Sousa not done such a good job holding the mess he left behind together we probably wouldn't have managed even that. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

No it's not. Without Martinez there'd be nothing. Jenkins appointed managers in his mould and we kept the same philosophy right through the early years. Martinez gave us the nous, the platform for a new way of thinking, laid the foundations and paid for what was to become our push for promotion. To deny Martinez' achievement here at this Club is ridiculous | |

Doubt it. If they're sticking with PC no matter what, he'll be packing the middle of the park and grinding out 0-0s in the Championship this time next year. They must want to stick with him long term. If not there's no logic in keeping him on now. | | | |

Roberto? on 14:50 - Dec 4 by jack247 | He got sacked and is now an SPL manager. He certainly struggled as a Liverpool manager, albeit after a superb start. |
Rodgers did a great job at Liverpool and very very nearly won the PL with them. The closest they've got in what, 20-25 years? He's also doing an excellent job at Celtic. Yes pub league and all that, but he's turned them into an absolute machine of a team. Not just winning the SPL but dominating. | |

He did a superb job in his first season there and fell apart in his second. A bit like a higher level, attractive football playing Paul Clement. Yeah, he is doing great in the SPL | | | |

I didn’t like the way he left at the time and I still don’t now, but let’s have a bit of context. The club is currently owned and being run (dragged) by a disinterested hedge fund and a Judas bastard. Martinez chasing the PL dream with Wigan is like the girl who didn’t text back after the first date in comparison to the JTAK brigade. | | | |

That's not true. He finished 7th in the first season. It was the second season where he finished 2nd. 6th in the third season. | | | |
