Potential Underachiever

Managed to battle through 3 posts. Even worse than some of the anti-Klopp agendas on here, and that's saying something.

Anyone who thinks he should be under enormous pressure if we don't get top 4 this season needs their head examined.

Anti-Klopp agendas on here??? Stop being a jive turkey and elaborate on these so called agendas, if anyone on here has ever posted that they want Klopp out then please quote because I haven't seen it.

Really don't think benteke and Charlie Adams should be in there. What about all that other ****e we signed.

Nah, he's back with us now. Was on loan with Wigan, then destroyed his knee so he's been back since November or so I think. Out for the season.

Klopp is right about atmosphere .
Anfield should be loudest stadium even when it's Swansea who are visiting. The silence helps the opposition as much as it hinders us .

So Anfield will be reduced in capacity next season by about 800 from what I can see. 1000 seats to be removed to allow for 200 more wheelchair access seats.

I know Anfield was called out as not being compliant with regulations for wheelchair access,but that seems like a lot of seats to lose for this, especially when there is no real sign that the Anfield Road end will be developed in the coming seasons.

I think United lost a couple thousand seats for the same reason recently.

Probably. Season ticket holders will be moved,but yep,it will ultimately be the members that lose out, not the season ticket holders.

David Wagners Huddersfield Town are up to fifth in the Championship beating Brighton and Choke Albion 3-1 tonight, still 7 points off the automatic places but building a head of steam with 7 wins in their last 10

Probably click bait but Rafas future in doubt?

Mike Ashley not keeping his promises is what most of the papers are running with and Rafa could quit.


Anyone shocked at Ashley not keeping his promises.

They're a good side and they'll be right in the hunt if Brighton and Newcastle don't hold it together. Garry Monk has Leeds playing good football too, though. Right there waiting for an opportunity.

On the LFC interests in the Championship, Indo (UK not Ireland) are reporting that Rafa is finished at Newcastle in the coming weeks/months after a dispute over transfers. I mean, I'm stunned. Who thought the combination of Rafa Benitez and Mike Ashley wouldn't go together...?

Apparently Mike Ashley was breaking promises and being a crap owner again.

Ashley will never get a better manager at his club these days, the man is a total tool.

I got banned here before for saying what I think of Ashley. Only he could look a gift horse like Benitez in the mouth. Amazed Newcastle hasnt been completely ruined yet but its not far off with a piece of work like him at the helm.

Vicxas

Ashley needs to sell to someone else, or Newcastle will forever be in the mire.

The man is a tool, and i'm not surprised that he broke his promises to Benitez.

Best of luck to him, are we hiring a replacement?

Harry Palmr

Mike Edwards is the new CEO.

Thought Ayre was retiring or something. Pity he won't stay on, he'll be a huge loss IMO from what I can gather.

Isnt he the sporting director??? My understanding is that a CEO will be announced at a later date.

Edwards will do all player contracts, buying and selling and sporting side but someone else will run the buiness side of things in the position of CEO.
A further step by FSG to adapt a structure which Klopp and the Germans have been using for years.

murpho999

Strange that Ayre is going to Germany. Big move for him.

He's been good for the club overall now we need someone to get us to the next level.

Which expert from boards is applying?

Edwards is the Sporting Director, he was appointed last November.

Reds appoint Michael Edwards as sporting director

CEO is a totally different ball game.

Three reasons:

• Drive his Harley on the Autobahn.
• Beer (think Oktoberfest).
• Tall, blonde hair blue eyed girls.

I nominate Potential Underachiever to be our representative.

Headhunting Ian Ayre is the best thing Hicks and Gillett did for the club.

Lived in Muinich 25yrs ago and kinda adopted them as my team. Best analogy would be (at that time) that they were the Man City to Man Utd - they draw their support from people that actually live in the City as opposed to Bayern fans that can come from anywhere that want to follow a team of stars that always win. They went from the Bayernliga to Second Bundesliga and then the Bundesliga in three seasons in the mid 90's - had previously won the Bundesliga sometime in the 60's - so a proud and passionate fan base. They have ground shared with Bayern for a long time now - I think since the mid 90's - first in the old Olympia Stadion and now in the Allianz Arena. Great opportunity for Ayre to build on a core of dedicated fans and get some cash in so they can invest in players and build a squad that can get back into the Bundesliga - good luck to him....

Cool, I'd pull the trigger on a few signings whether Klopp wants them or not.

I just avoid it for a day at least, and then briefly scan through the pages and read the most thanked ones to get a general idea of what the thread was saying.

Feck stewing in the doom and gloom afterwards!

I think penny has dropped regarding these so called poor teams we play. I would hope we play them with the respect they deserve and keep it tight and work ourselves into game.
Need to pack midfield, get men behind ball and be patient, class should show over 90 mins. No point in going there to attack straight from the off and be a goal or two down because of it.

I thought this was how we played against Swansea. And it didn't work.

I see your reasoning but we're just not very good at playing that way. Not at the mo anyhow.

I would get Emre Can out of there and go Lallana - Hendo - Wij in the middle with Coutinho Firminho Mane up top and just go for it from the start.

Hull would be delighted if we sit off and it's 0-0 at half-time.

Go for the kill from the start, it suits us better.
