I am shocked to see Strachan mentioned on the shortlist.

I would be happiest with Jellybean Benitez, but Curbs might be good.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe O'Neill just interested in managing Liverpool, ever consider that scenario?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Not for the past four years, no.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I keep thinking O'Neill will leave but he never does

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Please no Curbishley or McLaren or basically any of the home suggestions I've heard except O'Neill.

Also Liverpool Won't Win The Premiership 2004-2005?

Is this really worth posting? They weren't going to win it with Houllier in charge anyway.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

What's wrong with Curbishley?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I was hoping it would give The Pinefox a warm glow inside - kind of like a little joke.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 24 May 2004 09:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Liverpool DID come the closest they have to winning it under Houllier for over 10 years at least

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think next year's Pinefox football thread should be: Everton and Spurs will be relegated 2004-2005

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:01 (twenty-two years ago)

was surprised to see Strachan in the reports I read yesterday.

Curbishley is a great manager, Charlton don't have much money (just like with O'neill and leicster) and I think he could get this if O'neill really isn't available.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

That's arguable Steve, they were 5 points clear at Christmas under Evans, to me they were more in the race that year than any other year of the long wait.

I just don't like Curbishley, he doesn't seem sharp enough to me. Also he hasn't done amazingly well, who's to say they don't have a crap season next year, highly likely I'd wager.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder what will happen to Thompson? He stepped in well when Houlier was ill.

Why hasn't anyone started a Houllier to Spurs rumour?

Charlton do have money to spend. Remember Scott Parker?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

if Keegan was a better coach...

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I still maintain they were firmer Easter-period contenders under Evans than under Houllier. Only one less trophy than Dalglish, though?

I enjoyed his hangdog face, his delusional rants and the missus had a real soft spot for him. I'll miss the fella.

Poor Phil Fffompson. Those were a black few months.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I think next year's Pinefox football thread should be: Everton and Spurs will be relegated 2004-2005

Are you trying it, Jerry? I think Jerry's trying it. Don't try it. Just don't. DO. NOT. TRY. IT.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Prediction : O'Neill in. Will bring H. Larson.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

O'Neill might take a break from top-class football - he's going to Spurs!

If he left, would Moyes be temptable? Being an Celt and all that?

I've said it before - if hew goes, put money on them for the league.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think they main problem with Curbishley is that his name sounds too parochial and not 'top flight' enough. He should rechristen himself Alain Curbishlé.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:41 (twenty-two years ago)

and his Gallic supporting team, Mervyn Jour and Stephan Greet.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

This is true, N. Liverpool need to offload some of their meat'n'potatoes-sounding players too. Replace Owen, Gerrard and Murphy with Kyzanzi, Elbraunoisseiger and Obansanjo-Sobansanjo.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Mikkel, you should apply for the job yourself (viewing an Everton fan as an inappropriate choice would show a very backwards-looking attitude).

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

er, Michel. Mikkel would be Danish?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:58 (twenty-two years ago)

So - Houllier is going? Has gone?

It's news to me, though old news.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, Mike - I didn't want to restrict things to France.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Champions' League Final: Bull & Mouth, Weds night: any takers?

― the gofox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry said: "The board decided change was necessary if we were to realistically challenge for the title next season."

Liverpool won't win the Premiership title 2004-5. And NOW you're gonna believe me.

"I may have left Liverpool, but Liverpool will not leave me," said Houllier.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Real Madrid manager Carlos Q has just been sacked.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

"I may have left Liverpool, but Liverpool will not leave me," said Houllier.

One would have to be an insensitive chump not to be a little moved by this.

Mikkel, you should apply for the job yourself

As long as it involves telecommuting or, at a pinch, a portakabin in Stanley Park.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

:'''''(

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Time to get the Alaves video out, Jerry - commentary off, Gilbert O'Sullivan soundtrack on.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard Houllier became a different person after his surgery and was quick to turn minor issues into tests of loyalty and generally reduced many issues to 'with me or against me'.

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Jones is OTM.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

'I heard'

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

'I heard Michael Collins was shot by the ghost of James Connolly'

― the finefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

from what I understand Dave, this is entirely possible, sufferers of heart attacks and subsequent heart surgery become prone to moodswings and tetchiness due to things going a bit wonky in the noggin after blood/oxygen starvation.

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Have we got crocodile tears from the very person who kept the Liverpool will NOT win the Premiership title thread alive???

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing befits the man as his passing

― Dave B (daveb), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

That's thrue what that man's afther sayin', about the wonky noggin an' the moodyswings and the starvation, it's desthroyed he is surely.

― Rosie Redmond, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

If Ronan means me - which perhaps he does not, but I will assume it for a moment - then:

I started the Liverpool Won't Win The Title to make, and discuss, the point that I thought that Liverpool would not win the title -- at a time when, unlike now, various people were saying that they would. (Robin Carmody, for one, was emphatic.)

They did not win the title: I was correct. I like Liverpool, much more than I did, say, 10 or 15 years ago: and I would have been delighted if they had won the title this year.

I also like M. Houllier, a lot, and have done for a long time: search far and wide through ilx and find something that contradicts this.

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, though, kids: Champions' League Final: Y / N?

― the bellefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Houllier but he did sign some nonces. That's you, Mr Daio. And you, Mr Cheyrou. And don't get me started on The Hadj. Worse than Heskey.

Liked the man, though.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Jose Antonio Camacho appointed Real Madrid manager.

― de, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Calamacho!!!!

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I always hated him, from his ... physog in the 1982 stickerbook on.

― the pinefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Cheyrou could still come good. And Sina-Po and Le Tall look good investments, aussi.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Former Madrid player. Isn't this supposedly something to do with Jorge Valdano getting 'his man'?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Liverpool should hire George Graham.

Ranieri still hasn't been properly sacked, has he? What price a Claudio to Liverpool, do you think? If Martin O'Neill really does go to Spurs instead of Liverpool he is a fule, and I say that as a Spurs fan.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

they're old mates apparently, and don't forget the white vulture is also involved high up there.
