I would imagine the sheer lack of ambition demonstrated at Man City in the FA Cup would have more of an influence in players leaving than a few "rules". Something that will aslo affect our ability to attract replacements.

That would have more credence if we hadn't been seeing stories like this all season.

True chris , but there is always a tipping point where someone says thats it i've had enough of this, it seems to have been o neills tipping point last august, and i wonder if the man city debacle was the tipping point for some players , who naturally im sure want to try and win trophies?

I am sick to the back teeth of all this shit coming out of Houllier's/players mouths about the club I love.

So..Lets get rid of Houllier to appease these over rated wankers called players. Stay up.. using these pricks and then fuck em all off at the end of the season.

At least the winners would be us at the end of the day.

its not the rules that im worried about its all the players that want to leave

Dont mind them leaving if they dont want to be here but when lots of players come out and say they want to leave something has to be wrong

The Daily Mail has suggested it, not the players.

Yeah, but who amongst us is surprised to learn that Friedel, Warnock, Petrov, Luke Young, Dunne and Collins might not be here next season?

I know I'm not.

They haven't. The Daily Mail said that lots of players want to leave.

What exactly is wrong with any of the supposed new rules?

It never ceases to amaze me the gullibility of some on here who see something in a paper and take it all as gospel.

Aside from the fact that these sort of stories need to be taken with a large pinch of salt, I imagine the reason a lot of players wouldn't respond to strict rules and dictats from this management is that they are completely dis-chuffed with the unravelling disaster that is Le Gaffeur's reign. If we were doing well then it wouldn't be an issue. But take a really shit manager who appears clueless as to what he's doing, throw in a few seemingly petty rules and you've got a mutiny on your hands. The whole thing stinks and it's emanating primarily from the manager's office, for god's sake GO Gerard.

Do you do it by addressing people by their surname?

Timmy, just answer the question. What is wrong with any of the rules? Does having a mobile phone in the changing room lift morale?

The rules are perfectly sensible, the Daily Mail is sensationalising it and mugs like you are lapping it up.

Now run along and go and play with the rest of the Famous Five.

Tim.

You might be better off not insultingly referring to someone by their surname.

You might have great shoes and after shave, but you're not an 18th century Lancashire mill owner.

The words Daily, Mail and Exclusive are barometers of all that is sacred in this sceptered isle.

We never addressed each other by christian names at our school. Never. Surnames or nicknames.

I went to school with a lot of wankers, mind.

Or calling people 'gullible'.

I'm not 'gullible' - I think he's lost the dressing room at the most important time of the season.

Sorry Chris, but based on this, we are in the shyte deeper than I thought we were.

And that was deep enough.
