After listening to Paul Faulkner the comment that sticks in my mind is that the club are 'happy' with regard
to the manager being Alex McLeish -

Well they got Torres right. Used the money reasonably well and got the fans behind the new direction. As you say 'ambition'.

Pity we don't have a 'Kenny".

We should, again as you say, have invested Milner money into a new Milner. Or at least play BB/ CH  on a regular basis. In position.

Liverpool have used the Torres money well? Henderson and Carroll for a combined 55 million pounds?

I struggle to think of a worse way to spunk away that kind of money.

Top 6 and probably League Cup semi finalists, are you sure?

in that regard they are doing ok. They'll be expected to make the CL to recoup that level of investment, but it's not like Carroll or Henderson have played a big part in where they are right now. Only Suarez has been worth every penny, and maybe Adam for what they paid. But the rest have been decent and no more.

Fair enough, I suppose you would expect top 4 for that money.

As my liverpool supporting mate said down the pub tonight, League cup is the only realistic thing on offer for them this season and even then that looks iffy with the teams still in it,

Oh and yes Downing is a cock. That is probably the one thing we can all agree on.

Correct. The club had no reason for holding back their thoughts on him. Managers come and go with both sides sworn to secrecy but the way Downing shit on us was disgraceful.

Dare I say it, it shows us just how important a decent, canny manager is to a football club.  Redknapp's done a fantastic job there.

Most Villa fans wouldn't want Redknapp anyway given he doesn't appear to take the Europa League seriously enough. Would have made eleven changes tonight from Saturday, imagine the uproar if a Villa manager did that.
