Saunders never allowed Morley etc. to twat about with their mobiles at training and it got results.

Had Houllier joined the club in the summer and not after the season has started, and been afforded the financial supportnto clear out troublesome players then we might be on a similar track to where we are now. As it is, it was the wrong time, and too much too fast. The players now may as well get used the new sheriff as he ain't going anywhere and he sets the rules.

Too right. The wheelbarrows would have played fooking havoc with the pitch.

Probably not a great deal to lose for someone on their income, but I guess the message is stronger than the action itself - proves intent.

Gary Shaw still uses two baked bean cans linked by a piece of string to keep in touch.
