I think DJM could be the new Darren Tackle.

So Liverpool pay the biggest total for a player in their history (a player earmarked by Houllier) and then sack him?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:09 (nineteen years ago) link

If only Everton had an immensely valuable asset they could offload for several times the sum they are bidding for Smith. *sigh*

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:10 (nineteen years ago) link

I did allude to him above.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:11 (nineteen years ago) link

So we're agreed, Kevin Kilbane is on his way out then?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Madrid bound.

GALACTICO!

I don't think Everton have beaten Liverpool in a race to sign a name player since the '60s. Possibly Howard Kendall from Preston. Wily old Catterick.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 20 May 2004 12:29 (nineteen years ago) link

There's no way Gerrard or Owen will go, I reckon. And as others have said, if Houllier goes this is even more certain. I feel sorry for GH but I hope he goes now.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:27 (nineteen years ago) link

If Liverpool sign Joey Barton off us, then I will hate them more than I normally dislike them for being scouse.

― ___ (___), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Cue scousers robbing arf jokes by Kelvin.

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:41 (nineteen years ago) link

B-b-but Joey Barton is scouse too! As I have said elsewhere, it is his destiny to become the third pin in the great Huytonian LFC triumvirate.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:43 (nineteen years ago) link

I have a feeling in my waters about Shaun Wright-Phillips as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

In English Nipper pls!

(robbing scousers = lfc is they take Barton etc)

― Dave B (daveb), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Au revoir, Gerard

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:13 (nineteen years ago) link

ta ta Gerard, goodbye sweet Emile - very sad.

We need to continue with the signing of Cisse, it's imperative. I'd rather we signed SWP than Barton to be honest.

O'neill should be new manager, not Curbs or Mclaren.

Apparently Kenwright is looking for 10 mil of money from "new loans (eek!!!), a new Thai sponsor (Merseyside to be renamed New Siam?) and some re-mortgages of his properties"

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:20 (nineteen years ago) link

i feel sorry for HOullier, why does it always happen just after they tell the press they're 100% confident they will be in charge next season?? the inevitability of it all is frustrating (i would rather Houllier had been more successful with the club)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Liverpool Won't Win The Premiership 2004-2005?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:39 (nineteen years ago) link

That BBC report doesn't mention Martin O'Neill. Has he now been ruled out for some reason?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Celtic board is trying to lock him in a cupboard I think.

― chris (chris), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:45 (nineteen years ago) link

What about Larsson as manager - he's available.

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:47 (nineteen years ago) link

O'Neil wants a break away from football? Don't believe it myself.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:49 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:51 (nineteen years ago) link

Not for the past four years, no.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:55 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 08:56 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

What's wrong with Curbishley?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Monday, 24 May 2004 09:57 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:06 (nineteen years ago) link

if Keegan was a better coach...

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:07 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:13 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:50 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

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 (nineteen years ago) link

er, Michel. Mikkel would be Danish?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 24 May 2004 10:58 (nineteen years ago) link

So - Houllier is going? Has gone?

It's news to me, though old news.

― the bluefox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:00 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 24 May 2004 11:01 (nineteen years ago) link

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

― the gofox, Monday, 24 May 2004 11:03 (nineteen years ago) link

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.
