    Ok! I'll do it!
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    every manager has to start somewhere. having a tin pot trophy to your name in austria or denmark means fuck all. neither does winning the golden boot in a tournament 20 years ago. if a manager comes in and the players respect him they'll work hard and play for the shirt, regardless of whether a manager has a trophy to his name or not.
    Yes, I've noticed how inexperienced kids have completely fucked everything up too.

    May be a controversial option, but anyone else considering Rafa Benitez?

    Give him a ten year contract and he'll make us into Liverpool
