Same as mate. But after we played against him I realised that everyone else was right all along! 
Will always love his time with us though! What a player. A bit like Ramos in the sense that heâs a bit of a cunt sometimes, but youâd rather have him with you than against you.

Watched this yesterday. I hate the fact that god doesnât get the recognition he deserves outside of our fanbase and ex pros. He was some player in the 90âs!!
I though his managerial career was a flop, but havenât really followed it and it sounds like heâs actually done ok. I would love to see him managing in England. Hope someone gives him a shot! If Shrek and Lampard got repeated âshotsâ despite being shit then I donât see why god shouldnât.

After Rooney and Roy Keane piled up on our captain Shearer waded in with his vitriol on Van Dyke and for good measure he has categorically said that we would win fuck all this season.
The last time he made a similar prediction we won the league.

Souness and Crooks when men were men. No red cards needed ⌠or yellow.
Now VAR would have had all 3 off

Iâm happy for him. From his perspective, he made the right decision with the transfer.

Very happy for him. It seems we are in a good position. Quansah is playing week in week out and growing as a player. When Van Dijk hangs up his boots we can bring him back home for a reasonable sum if he is at the level we need. He wonât get to that level on our bench, he needs games, and it is a case of so far so good.

Is the answer ânot taken the jobâ?

Signing Dickson Etuhu and Bobby Zamora?
Jokes aside, I think he said recently he wouldâve involved the likes of Carra and Stevie more into telling him what the players are/were used to, in order to make it a more happy place.
Whether that wouldâve changed anything notably⌠probably not.
More than Liverpool appointing Hodgson at the time, the saddest fact was the absolute shambles we were in as a club at the time.
I often went back in memory and thought what if we had beat Atletico in that semi-final (and then beat Fulham in the final?), perhaps Rafa wouldâve stayed, but there were some serious issues happening on different fronts.
I think a lot of other, somewhat better managers, wouldâve also struggled just like Roy did (and like the club overall did for a number of following yearsâŚ).
His point was Carra and Stevie came to him as he was clearing out his office to offer their well wishes at which point Carra confessed that he thought the problem was he spent too much time trying to coach a team that did not need that after that many years of having worked under Rafa, and what he should have done was more a man management job. One, Roy clearly isnt that guy. Two, it does not seem believable that carra would have a clear opinion of what was going wrong and wait until it was too late to share it with Roy.

years after the Liverpool stint i heard from someone who Knew someone who knew someone kind of thing (Roy came to Aus for some brief corporate thing or something, not 100 percent sure) that Roy was absolutely football mad and one of the true gents, something about no matter his standing in the game, he was still out really late working with Junoir players , etc etc etc
hes real football the old fella.
kinda made me re assess our time with him as more a poor fit at the wrong time than Roy as this idiot who was useless.
hes years after us kinda speaks evidence to that, sometimes things in football are just not right.
