NAMING RIGHTS THREAD: Liverpool really won't win the Premiership 2010-2011

Yeah if you're going to make "effective" the be all and end all to the extent of signing Kevin Phillips you may as well sign Ashley Young. Although this is the batshit world where Dirk Kuyt isn't allowed to cross the halfway line so god knows.

liverpool need organisation?? what...liverpool need flair, more than anything.

kuyt as rb > johnson

kuyt as winger- < johnson

johnson was good last night. agree tho not sure why he never plays on the wing.

last few games, meireilles has looked really good in the centre.

            Reina
Kuyt     Skrtel     Agger   ????
        Meirelles Aquillani
Johnson     Ronaldinho    Someone FAST
              Bent

was lolling as in lol it's never gonna happen, right? sure we've been linked with him before.

fwiw Ronaldinho to LA Galaxy is doing the rounds over here

Liverpool in race for St Mirren reject!

Ronaldinho to LA Galaxy seems more likely somehow.

lol at ppl taking r10 to liverpool rumours srsly

Robson's position was not helped by persistent rumours of player unrest at the club with midfielder Kieron Dyer forced into making a public apology after refusing to play out of position.

Rooney war nears endgame

The bid to bring Wayne Rooney to St James' Park is reported to have prompted further discontent in the squad, with Craig Bellamy threatening to review his position if the Everton striker was signed.

And in his last game in charge - a 4-2 defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday - Robson dropped Newcastle talisman Alan Shearer in favour of Patrick Kluivert.

It was the first time a fully-fit Shearer had been left on the bench for a Premiership fixture since Gullit's ill-fated reign on Tyneside.

Alan Shearer rules himself out of running to replace Chris Hughton at Newcastle United

Again, this headline is not quite accurate. Not declaring himself flattered either, I am disappointed.

From the BBC, file under 'sounds about right':

It is believed Pardew became close friends with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and director Derek Llambias when all three were familiar faces at an exclusive London casino where Llambias was managing director.

Yes. Dinho would be a terrific coup for Liverpool and would slot into almost any side in the world, incl. all Premiership clubs, and make them better. Never gonna happen doe.

Expect Klinsmann to be unveiled on Tyneside on Thursday lunchtime and to take charge for Saturday's match against Liverpool.

no way

I know this is beside the point but Klinsmann has less managerial "experience" than Hughton in terms of time in charge and obv time in charge of English football club. So it can't possibly be him, right?

possibly vs logically

That's so preposterous I almost want it to be true. Pardew still 1/10 despite this blow.

"logic" used in picking newcastle manager.

dude took his team to world cup semis and managed bayern fucking munich.

his wiki, a very reliable source:

On 29 October 2010 it was reported that Klinsmann had been hired to rebuild Toronto FC from the ground up.[18] On 3 November 2010, Klinsmann along with his sports marketing and business development company, SoccerSolutions, were officially announced as consultants to Toronto FC.[19][20]

Newcastle united's new manager unveiled on friday 9th december

Reading that again, I think what might have happened is that Pardew's turned them down and this is just the first in a series of random leaks to soften the blow before they have to unveil Mourinho or Guardiola instead.

shankly/cruyff to manage first team until end of season, peter reid to have sobered up by then

democratic autonomy ftw howay the coop

srsly pardew appt is next level insanity

hey i dont want to go into the middle of this thread, can anyone (ismael?) link me to that awesome blog about club finances?

Zlatan special 4 u

ty

also yeah i forgot that just going on to our 'finances of football' thread was an easy way to get there.

Pardew. Gonna think of our 5-2 home defeat to Sheffield United and grin wanly

kinda amazed how the keegan II disaster led to bitter recriminations & open letters from ashley to the supporters he could no longer sit alongside in displays of lumpen sincerity.....and now he is replacing hughton, who was doing better than anyone had a right to expect, with alan fucking pardew

that zlatan article is a terrific read fyi

It's not what you know it's who you know etc.

Wait, it's not Klinsmann?

that zlatan article is a terrific read fyi
^^^cosign

Milan have bought “un campione”, as Ibrahimovic has brought success wherever he’s been (seven successive league titles for four different clubs in three different leagues).

o_O

Eric Cantona: six successive titles for three clubs in two leagues (if you count his long suspension as a year off)

i dont

Ibra the mourinho of cf's

Filthy old red-nosed drunk:

Sir Alex Ferguson is to make a personal plea to Manchester United's supporters to put an end to the sick chants that are aimed at Arsène Wenger whenever Arsenal visit Old Trafford.

In 2003, BBC journalist Stuart Roach described Pardew as being a 'dangerous and distant animal' due to his poor public relations abilities.

james why you calling him a drunk for trying to get fans to stop being dickheads?

yeah exactly, it's a rare display of positivity from the old philistine
