I think City have been pretty patient with their managers really. It's pretty rough sacking old Manuel but if Pep is available I think they had to do it- doubly so because two of their biggest rivals for the league need a new manager. Will be very interesting to see what United and Chelsea do now. Jose to United and Simeone to Chelsea are perfect fits tbh and would make the league a very interesting place. I hope United do something stupid and give Giggs the job and Chelsea hire Hughes.

I mean getting relegated would undoubtedly be a bad thing but if it meant Lerner sold up to an owner that cared about the club and got rid of the high earners that don't contribute then long term maybe it would be for the best.

straight up brolic posted:All of the Villa supporters groups I'm a part of on facebook are melting down the nth degree it's loving pathetic. We were down 8 weeks ago, why bother signing someone that'll insist on a relegation release clause? To be fair, if Lerner had promised Garde funds and reneged then I'd be pretty angry too. You can buy now for next year in the Championship. Villa still have pulling power given the league they're in- next year won't be as easy.

Unless Lerner sells to someone competent Villa aren't coming back any time soon. There are some talented teams in the Championship who are happy to spend and whoever else gets relegated is likely to be more ambitious (with a better starting squad) too. Seriously who in Villa's squad is actual Premier League quality? Amavi looked decent before he died and Gil and Traore could potentially be very good but other than that there is very little talent.

Given the poo poo we've bought in the last few years I'm glad we are actually taking our time to evaluate this properly before buying. The last thing we need is to spend for the sake of spending and bring in sub par players. Lord knows we have enough of those already. Honestly there isn't a single player in the tear at the moment that I'd she'd too many tears over if they left. Coutinho and Sturridge are the closest things we have to great and the former is wildly inconsistent and the latter is dead (or crazy). Everyone else is either serviceable or poo poo.

Hegay posted:Liverpool and their transfer committee is probably the worst decision ever (they got rid of it. right?). That squad has zero tactical cohesion and Klopp will have to offload like 10 players. Also why haven't they recalled Lazar whatever? I thought Klopp loved fast wingers I don't think we were able to. Also I've never seen a player with such little confidence as Markovic. He's obviously talented but seems scared to take any kind of risks. I'm hoping we see a bit more of him next season but I could honestly see him being sold if someone put in a decent bid. I can't imagine someone with the reputation of Klopp would take a job that is probably beneath him if he didn't have a big say in transfers. Especially given the 'committee's' record. Guess we will find out in the summer. I'm optimistic things will be better but I'm under no illusions this will be a slow process.

Hegay posted:Lol Liverpool has spent £291m in transfers the past few years?? jfc, that's the worst scouting ever Yep, horrendous stuff really. Rafa made huge changes to the youth and scouting team and thing got a lot better but all that work has been undone sadly. They should give him a director of football role and let him run the club without having to deal with the media and players.

Redundant posted:The ridiculous player turnover is part of the reason Liverpool are so gash. It's hilarious OP, and what's even better is that the fans want more of the same. Truly a great time to be alive. Actually most of us in here were pretty happy we weren't spending money this window. The squad is the worst it's been since it got Hodgson'ed (even then we still had some world class players though) so an overhaul is needed but it needs to be done with an actual plan. Not a plan that involves Downing and Adam hitting long balls to Andy Carroll though.

Brony Car posted:Man, I yearn for the days of Jay Spearing, Joe Cole, Paul Konchesky, and Christian Poulsen... As far as a squad goes I actually think it's okay. Lots of 7/10 players that can do serviceable jobs but there is a distinct lack of tip tier talent that we can base a side around. Under Rafa we had Carra, Gerrard, Alonso, Masch, Torres and Pepe; under Kenny we still had some of those players as we did with Hodgson, when Rodgers took over we still had a performing Gerrard, a fit Daniel Sturridge and quite possibly the best player Liverpool has ever had in Suarez. Who do we have now? Coutinho hasn't improved since he's joined imo (although he's still very good), Henderson looks to have plateued, Sturridge is probably not top far off retiring given his problems... Our scouting department needs a huge overhaul as we continually are buying the wrong players for the type of football we play. Benteke is a classic example; he's a good player but is so incompatible with how we play that he looks like an amatuer out there.

What's with United supporters getting all excited about Mourinho anyway? Isn't he the exact antithesis to the 'United Way' in that he plays negative football and never plays youth? It's almost as though the 'United Way' was a bunch of mythical bullshit and all that really mattered was results no matter how they came eh?

I liked the bit where we had like seventy percent possession, were up two goals, then Sunderland scored with their only two shots of the game. What the gently caress is wrong with us.

straight up brolic posted:Benteke owns but you have to integrate him into a team concept. He can't be the focal point or the 'one player that offers something a bit different'. despite what people think he's a very good passer and our team scored a lot of goals with him on the ball passing to wingers. I'd have a lot more sympathy for him if he didn't continually botch one on one's. He is actually a useful passer of the ball but without proper wingers we have no one running off him. Given how Dortmund played I'm going to say some fast wide players will be a priority for Klopp so there is still hope Benteke will come good. In saying that if a decent offer came in I'd get rid.

I really don't want Tottenham to win the league. My order would be Leicester then Arsenal then City then Spurs. Villa are gone and maybe Newcastle and Norwich with them. All three have awful defences and don't have the attack to make up for it. Sunderland have a poo poo squad but Allardyce knows how to play negative football while grinding out a point or three. McClaren is absolutely clueless imo and one of the biggest frauds in football. He can't motivate a team for poo poo. I'd love Norwich to stay up this time but there are just too many weaknesses in that squad. As for Villa they're gone and not coming back until they're sold.
