Would YOU have MON back ??

[Mac]

I still dont get this "MON racked up the wage bill stuff"

It's like he did it all behind Randy's back. If the wage bill got too high it's Randy's fault. He's the one that signs the cheques etc.

And he was not supposed to back the manager? You can't have it both ways.

 It's only when told to trim the wage bill did MON get the hump.

Look where we are now to where wew were. Bad signings aside, we would not be where we are now, get him back. Grass is always greener ie when some wanted MON out in 6th place.

I wish I was an insider dave.
Lets say a distillation of opinion, a tincture of conjecture interwoven with years of observation in pursuit of the essence of actuality;
and the rest I read here.

ps
I await MoN's biography after he 'retires' from the Liverpool job.

Given the same conditions as Houllier, can you tell me how MON would have dealt with the recent situation? My guess is he would have fielded 9 players each game.

The same 9 players each game.

So, like much of the fact here and elsewhere, it's guesswork?

[Breezeblock]

No I fucking well wouldn't.  Man's a twunt of the first order and I fervently hope his bollocks turn square and fester in the corners.

[Brian Taylor]

What? You mean H&V is mostly bollo!
I believe it all given a soupscon or two of esotericism.
Unless there is an AV of AV's boardroom and the rest even the participants version will be held in doubt.
Look forward to the youtube insights of RL and MoN going hammer and tongs.

Yes hes strict and got results from the players, just as long as he didnt throw his toys away because he cant sign some bench warming waste of space

[imull43]

NOOOO!!!!!

OK we had a good time at Wembley, twice but the football was poor, good teams sussed us out like in the final when the Mancs just sat deep and we didnt have a plan B, we were heading for bankrupcy and i lost all respect for him when he walked out a few days before the season started, with all his team!!! that was cynical.

MON got results...but leaving like he did was pure crap and unforgivable.

Ah so another one who knows exactly why he left. Would you care to answer the question that keeps getting asked on here but never gets answered? The answer to which enables you to call judgement on his decision to leave?

Ok i'll ask you then and everybody else who thought it was 'unforgivable', did you forgive Ron Saunders?

Thats not always a fair question if you compare the achievements of both managers, but they both walked at a particularly awkward time. And neither struck me as vindictive or spitefull. Stubborn, big headed and arrogant without doubt, qualities that were a vital part of both managers success, but as far as MON is concerned to assume that because of the timing that is was a cold, calculated act of hatred is take anger and turn it into fantasy.

I think it's perfectly fair question.

One left us in the lurch the week before the sart of the season, the other left us in the lurch a week or so before the Qtr Final of the European Cup. 

One has still not returned to management after 5 months whilst the other turned up at Blose the following week.

They both dropped us in the shit but the shock of Saunders resignation was only heightened by where he ended up going to.  If anything that was as spiteful and as engineered to cause maximum damage and embarresment to the Club as anything MON did.

So whenever I hear those crackpot theories about MON walking out in a 'vindictive act to cause maximum damage' I wonder how they felt and perhaps still feel about Saunders' defection.  Afterall, 'unforgivable' sounds permanent doesn't it.
