Because while we would be delighted with a top half finish and a trophy next season (I know I would), Liverpool demand top six at the very least, top four ideally, and that's why Dalglish is no longer their manager. He fell short of that.

Rodgers will struggle at Liverpool. Their fans will demand the title, it is too big a leap for someone so inexperienced at this level. He needed a inbetween club, like Villa first in order to be able to gain the experience he will need. I do however, wish hm all the best.
Not sure I agree with your description of our club as an inbetween. Liverpool are in the shit, they have lost the experiance of how they use to recruit their managers. There is no Liverpool way anymore, and the gap between us and them is not as big as it was. So to describe us as in between is wrong. To be fair as a club we are as good as anyone for a young inspiring manager to join, develop and stay longterm where he can make his own mark.
Liverpool are a bigger club with higher expectations, and yes, they are in the shit.
So what are our expectations? That is more or less saying make way for Liverpool. Thats the problem.
no-one said that. Our expectation are a little less that a title challenge, I imagine.
Sorry my friend I disagree. We are in the same business as them. Winning something.
yes, however, If we'd have finished in the top half and won the League cup we wouldn't have sacked our manager...
What has that got to do with it.
different expectations...
Sorry you have lost me. I said our expectations are the same as Plops, that is to win things. What is your point. You have put 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' above us in the pecking order based on their fans expectations. What are you saying?

And because he made the club look so silly in the media.

I'm still expecting our third, mystery managerial target to be the Aston Villa Boss.


I'd like to wish our new mystery manager All Very Best wishes.


Yes, he woulda gotten away with it if it wasn't for them meddling kids.

And let me congratulate the Aston Villa Board if true ;)

We can only hope it's a very bold choice.
A bald choice..... like Rafa...

Nah, the Villa ladies will insist we have no baldies, no pube heads or gingers. They want somebody with a voluptuous barnett.

That's right, Merv.

No disrespect, but Merv got to the point. Could not understand your ramblings. On saying that I still disagree, as a fan if you happy to settle for mid to upper table and a dabble in a cup then perhaps Mcleish was the manager for you. Personally I want us to compete and not make up the numbers, otherwise we just might as well not be there.

I think it's about mid term and long term goals/expectations.  Right now we need to be OK with middle/upper table, but the ultimate aim is of course to get back to challenging right at the top of the league.

I didn't say I was happy to settle for mid-table and a cup, but it would be a start, and a massive improvement. I am sure you agree and understand that my friend :)

Seems refusing an interview is the way forward if you want the job then.
