Honestly, what a prat! It is rather telling that he didn't start a similar thread on the UI, where he believes more people respect his opinion

hamster Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 why will they get weaker.....? maybe they will throw up another £18m for another player...something we certainly won't be doing[/QUOTE] How come mlg is not allows to speculate and/or exaggerate his opinion even allowing for his thoughts being nothing other than his thoughts or opinions yet it's okay to state what our upper limit re single transfers is? How much will we spend on a single transfer this summer, shall we agree on a figure to within £1/2m. No, let's make it £2m tin the interests of fairness. I like reading people's thoughts but don't quite get why others scour the forum like sharks hunting down their preyy Carry on of course, I am just saying. And I won't be going round and round in circles responding to you. Lol. Fwiw IMHO liverpoolz problems are due them dropping their boot room philosophy. Our successes are partly down to sticking with ours, now and in the past.

The9 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 (edited) After a year or 2 in the premiership we will obviously be playing in the Champions league the new stadium will be well progressed or completely Built (what is happening at Stoneham?) so why would Adkins want to go back up north to an antiquated stadium and a team that has more than likely just escaped relegation. We're not in the Premiership, and we're not likely to be unless Barclays rebrand the competition again, or there's a new sponsor for the Premier League who wants to change its name, or we start playing rugby. As for the rest of it, Liverpool's fanbase and profile won't have sunk much, who knows whether the Fenway lot will still be there and he'll always be a scouser with affection for Liverpool, so much of it isn't going to go away anyway. Yeah sure, if Saints become awesome it might delay it, just as if we go to poop he may never be considered - and the timing may never be quite right either, but Liverpool being consistently better than us over the next 5 years is probably more likely than us being consistently better than them at the moment. Though it is a lot closer than their fans might like to admit, and only one of us is progressing. Edited 17 May, 2012 by The9
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Liverpool have not made any contact about Adkins. FACT! Now can somebody please lock this rediculous thread.
dune Posted 17 May, 2012 Author Posted 17 May, 2012 Agreed. Waste of band width. Have you ever said anything remotely interesting?
The9 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Liverpool have not made any contact about Adkins. FACT! Now can somebody please lock this rediculous thread. Maybe we could thread drift it into a discussion about the ridiculous spelling of ridiculous, which would at least serve some kind of purpose.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2012-05-17/liverpool-to-make-swift-appointment/ Never look at a manager without top-flight experience? A short list is now bring drawn up but no indication was given on who would feature. Ayre did deny that they'd only be considering candidates who'd managed at the top level before and says the club will base their decision on "who fits with the owners vision of Liverpool FC."
Turkish Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2012-05-17/liverpool-to-make-swift-appointment/ Never look at a manager without top-flight experience? Thats a worry. If Adkins fits Corteses vision then surely he'd fit Liverpools? Cortese has ambitions for us that Liverpool can only dream of.
Colinjb Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2012-05-17/liverpool-to-make-swift-appointment/ Never look at a manager without top-flight experience? As a manager proven at (Welsh) Premier League level he will still very much be in remit.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 As a manager proven at (Welsh) Premier League level he will still very much be in remit. Does seem an odd thing for their MD to say. If they are looking at people without top-flight experience, then they probably are considering Nigel for their shortlist.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 So apart from Dune claiming to be ITK, does this thread have any element of truth at all? Or is it just trolling?
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 So apart from Dune claiming to be ITK, does this thread have any element of truth at all? Or is it just trolling? No-one knows. Not only a great QOTSA song, but also a true statement here.
capitalsaint Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Still, nothing else worth discussing until I get my kit thread up... When is that happening? The sooner the better.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 We are all ITK. but some are more ITK than others. I'm ITK, and so's my wife*. * none of that was true

rshephard3 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Just to confirm the ridiculousness of this thread, paddy power have Adkins at 80/1, on a par with Owen Coyle. His odds are even longer than Steven Gerrard at 66/1. Wind up thread should be closed really.

It was opened based on speculation too.

His odds are even longer than Steven Gerrard at 66/1. Wind up thread should be closed really. I wonder what odds Adkins was to take over here, the day after Pardew sacking? Cotteril was the initial favourite. They're not always right.
Prince Jazzbo Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 He would need to grow that tash and get a mullet again to be accepted up there.
The9 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 When is that happening? The sooner the better. I have no intention of making one. I already know what next season's home kit will look like.
rshephard3 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Why is it a wind-up just because I won't reveal my source? No, I'm not interested in anyones source but it's a long time since someone the bookies rate at 80/1 got a big time job. They might not always be right but they have more collective insight than one guy on SWF. Put it this way, if he is Appointed Pool manager i'll eat a few mouthfulls of my Saints hat. It's the least I could do if I was wrong after calling your thread ridiculous!!

S-Clarke Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Appointing Adkins would not help them get the fans back on their side. I'm not saying Adkins is a bad manager at all, but he hasn't - yet - quite got the profile of a manager that they'd expect. AvB is a sound choice. Very talented manager, but was given incredibly tough conditions to work in at Chelsea. Would be good to see him get given another chance, and possibly the opportunity and scope to rebuild a club.
capitalsaint Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 I have no intention of making one. I already know what next season's home kit will look like. Give us a clue, but make sure to write it in another language.
St_Tel49 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Have you ever said anything remotely interesting? I am sure that he could make up lots of interesting things - but what would be the point?
tisspahars Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Pardew was about a billion to one to get the Newcastle job To put this in yet more perspective, people will currently (gladly) give you 600/1 on Betfair....
Saint Charlie Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 When Liverpool say they don't necessarily want someone who has managed at the top level that is referring to Champuions League most likely. I am pretty sure they will want someone who has some experience of the Prem.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 (edited) To put this in yet more perspective, people will currently (gladly) give you 600/1 on Betfair.... Does that mean that Adkins is 1.6 million times more likely to get the LFC job than billion-to-one Pardew was to get Newcastle? Edited 17 May, 2012 by pap edited so that it actually made sense
ecuk268 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Give us a clue, but make sure to write it in another language. Rayures rouges et blanches.
Dazza82 Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Pep Guardiola will be taking the job........ He is wanting to take a break from football!

Dr Who? Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 LFC seem to be throwing curve balls and trying to get the press off on one. They will not employ a mananger Who is not a big name. No way. Just keeping the net wide, or so the press, and Saints fans think! If they do not employ a big name and a manager with experience I will eat my hat.
skintsaint Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 AVB will be the new manager...stick ya cash on it.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 AVB's agent has said that there has been no contact with LFC, but AVB considers it an 'appealing position'.

Just keeping the net wide, or so the press, and Saints fans think! If they do not employ a big name and a manager with experience I will eat my hat. If they employ a big name manager, how much do you think that will cost FSG? There is possible compensation if they're poaching a manager from another club. Most would want assurances on decent resources to chase their own targets. Liverpool's transfer budget for next year is 30M. Not sure that is going to be enough to tempt the biggest names. AVB looks to be the biggest name they are likely to get. Not sure that the likes of Klopp, etc - are going to want to swap the Champions League to be the nth person to try and revive Liverpool's flagging fortunes. LFC may do well looking at Frank De Boer - won the Eredivise twice in a row now, and might see Anfield as a step up.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 @DuckerTheTimes Dave Whelan has confirmed to The Times that #LFC have asked for permission to speak to Roberto Martinez. "It is true," Whelan said.

The Kraken Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 If you fancy a laugh, the #lfc feed on Twitter is fecking hilarious atm. A few sensible people but many on meltdown! The RAWK (Red & White Kop) Meltdown twitter is better; choice cuts from their main fans forum. So deluded and nuts that I'm still not convinced its not made up.
pap Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 Liverpool FC have stated that they are interviewing a number of candidates. @DrWho - are you feeling any more certain about your prediction that Liverpool will hire a big name manager? They're confirmed as interested in Martinez, and while he's well-liked, the only thing he's actually won is league one promotion. Nige has won four promotions in five years at two different clubs. The only advantage that Martinez has over him is top-flight experience, and let's face it, Wigan were not great over the season.
SuperSAINT Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 SKY Sources: Liverpool to approach a number of candidates from managers job.

SuperSAINT Posted 17 May, 2012 Posted 17 May, 2012 I would say they were to be honest..keeping that team up is a miracle Agreed. They just about stayed up the season before, then lost N'zogbia & Cleverley. I thought they were certs to go down.
