Dellman

He will be a genius when he has rebuilt our team, at the moment all he has done is oversee the dismantling of the team. That was necessary but genius comes when the rebuilding is done.

Guly made one mistake and it happened to be against Pompey, that's the bit fans remember unfortunately.

You mean JWP

Nothing new in that, you should be used to it by now

Ted was unique, his knowledge of players unequalled. I don't remember failed signings, there must have been some, but he made amazingly good ones -Ron Davies--at a time when we were nearly penniless. Players loved to play for him

Poch is the man for him. I may even have Chelsea as my premier team if t hey put one over |L'pool

WE knew we would lose players and as RM says, the squad is too big, needs a lot of thinning. The trouble is obvious--we are losing the guys most likely to get us back and are stuck with people like last night's shambles. RM may say their future is not here, but we are saddled.

JWP should be a 'legend' for his unequalled work rate and fitness and ability to play every minute of every season also to be the team's top goalscorer though not a forward. What more do fans want to make a 'legend'?

I still have the feeling that JWP wants to play in the Premier Lg again--with us. And the hope is he will become even more loyal to his Club than MLT

I really hope you are right JWP is the most loyal Club man since MLT and it would be great to see him stick with us and lead us back to the top tier

If Rice was £100m why are we only asking £50 for Lavia

The players actually looked as if they knew what they were doing and wanted to do it---and that is an advance on the last two years

Jack Stephens has been much underrated on this site. I forecast a great year for him at the centre of our defence--hope I'm right But ABK is much over rated and made of glass. Stephens and Bednarek for me

Ah, i heard a rumour he was going but you can't trust the gossip

Right, so Salisu's gone. I haven't kept pace, who else has gone definitely. I'm left behind

I remember his inspired performance against ManC when we somehow held on and beat them 1-0. At that time we thought we had a world beater, so we know he can do it. I rather doubt the high life of Monte Carlo will bring him back to that level.

Bednarek did ok, could be a rock this season

The most ridiculous sale was Mane but pundits on this site were only too pleased to see him go

The language of an historian?

Hope its a good move for him, he was never really at his best with us but that applied to almost everyone last season. He deserves better.

Is it now wrong to 'get it forward'? Isn't that the idea of the game?

I will never forget how much I dislike them---anyone but Liverpool!

Total agreement, sums it up exactly

Well said! About time someone on this site stood up for Jack. He now has a lot of Premier experience and will be a big asset this season.

Some people under estimate the Championship. I remember what happened last time--relegation from Championship
