Gerard most probably nextā€¦ but cares anymore anywayā€¦!

Sacked already! Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler shockingly fired by Saudi side Al-Qadsiah after just four months in charge and with team second in table

WHAT HAPPENED? Despite Fowlerā€™s success in leading the team to second place in the league, with six wins and two draws from the opening eight matches, he was relieved of his duties. The former striker had even received the Manager of the Month award for his teamā€™s performance in September, which makes the decision even more surprising.

WHAT THEY SAID?: Al-Qadsiah put out a statement announcing their decision that read: ā€œAl-Qadsiah FC terminates its contractual relationship with coach Robbie Fowler. We thank the coach for what he provided during the contractual period with the team.ā€

Iā€™m assuming that he failed in his primary task of saying how wonderful the Kingdom of Saudi is. He foolishly thought his job was to manage a football team.

Yeah I donā€™t remember him making any comments like that.

Gerrard will last the season meanwhile

Iā€™m not sure if youā€™re joking or not, because it very much sounds the case hereā€¦

Got two pointless Danish PL players on the tv show just now.

Agger was pointless on the show
Poulsen was pointless in general.

Poulsen was a quality player in his prime- about 5 years before G&H made us desperate.

For us it was a pointless signing and he was a pointless player.

I think it was a combination of Roy having no budget, then using what little budget he had, on really poor playersā€¦ bad times overall. The only highlight from Poulsen was before we even bought himā€¦ when he nutted kaka

Donā€™t be sad, @Livvy

Sakho is just doing Sakho things. Heā€™s living his best life, and by the look of the pics, heā€™s eating well!

Most famous thing Michel Der Zakarianever ever did was getting slapped by Mammary Sakho.

I wasnā€™t sure where to post the article. So, if the mods decide this is not the right thread, they can move it to the appropriate one.

Thatā€™s a good article. We have been warned. JĆ¼rgenā€™s successor must be the right choice. :nerd_face:
