Bottler to manage grief merchants?
« on: September 20, 2010, 08:16:46 AM »
From dailystar.co.uk

Martin O’Neill is in line for a ­sensational return to football – as the next Liverpool boss.


Two of the consortiums trying to buy the Merseyside club want to take ex-Aston Villa chief O’Neill to Anfield if they are ­successful with ­proposed takeovers.


They rate O’Neill, 58, a far better bet to bring back the good times to the crisis-torn Reds than current Kop gaffer Roy Hodgson. That will be a massive blow to Hodgson as he ­battles to ­restore stability at Liverpool ­following his summer switch from Fulham.

I can't see any of the big 4 fancying his turgid football and allergy to foreign/star players, although you neve know if a new regime comes in at Liverpool.  Those with ambitions to challenge might be a different story and I could see him ending up at someone like Newcastle, possibly Everton if Moyes ever moves on, or maybe Leeds.

If it is true, the new owners will have to be prepared for their wage bill to go through the roof, mainly for mediocre players who won't get a look in.

Yes because they were a model of financial prudence under Benitez.

Without checking I think it's safe to assume our wage bill was much lower than theirs and we finished above them last season.

Even more reason for them not to appoint a twerp who will spend inflated fees on English based players.
Liverpool will be eager to get back into the Champions League, he would be incapable of that.

Imagine old Thinny Skin dealing with the flak at Anfield if one or two results don't go their way, or if he persists in playing Gerrard at right-back and the natives get restless?

It would be a joy to watch from a distance. Although Lplop looked awful yesterday, Hodgson will sort them out and they'll be OK if he is given the time. His problem is that many of the fans didn't seem to want him and may turn on him sooner rather than later.

My own view of MON now is that he's damaged goods. His limitations were obvious to everybody in football over the past 18 months and his attempts to sabotage our club will surely be a cause for concern for future employers. That said he has many friends in the media and he may just prove to be a popular choice for unpopular owners like the yanks at Lplop.

Just stating facts, I thought you might be avove that sort of sub-Everall type posturing, seems I over estimated you.
