Can't see Liverpool being anywhere near the top 5 to be honest.
It depends on the animal staying and getting his head down. He is a jolly good player when he wants to be. Awful human being mind. It was top six i was getting at anyway, with 3rd/4th being between Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, and outside chance Liverpool.

It's difficult to appropriately name him. He gives goofy racist people a bad name

Similar to RVP and Man Utd, Suarez (I'm gonna go with contemptable piece of shit?) bangs in enough goals that he raised them up a level.  Without him they'll finish lower than last season, unless them sell him soon and re-invest the money well.

Probably before. I can imagine anytime ManUre are losing at home the camera is homed in on Fergie "I wonder what he is making of this" from the commentator... as thry did with KKKing Kenny.

He doesn't strike me as a man that changes his mind, so I doubt he'll come back in the manager's chair.

Maybe if it goes wrong they can bring Joe Kinnear in as a director of football. He'll be out of work by Feb too.

Can't see Liverpool being anywhere near the top 5 to be honest.

Watching BT Sport preview of the Premier League last night was cringeworthy. It was awash with ex Liverpool players (James, McManaman, Owen) all trying to hoodwink us that Liverpool had the best midfield outside the top two and could be top 4 come May.

They also seemed to bang on interminably about the fact their net spend this summer is negligible. Completely failing to mention that previous summers they've wasted millions and millions on the Carolls, Hendersons, Downings.

In fact it got so ridiculous that they seemed to be painting the release of one of the best keepers int he world (Reina) for a second-rate replacement (Mignolet) as being one of progress.

All very bizarre.

Apart from when he initally said he was going to retire, then changed his mind?

Good point well made. 

However, given the length he has stayed on since then, I do wonder exactaly how genuine that was and if there was behind the scenes things we don't know about going on.

Liverpool added another European trophy so he had to try to beat Clough and Shankly again. Everyone saying Fergie will reappear as manager if Moyes is doing badly haven't considered he might reappear as manager if Moyes gets them to a Euro final again to claim the glory.

It's not all that bizarre when you consider how boringly predictable them bigging up their old club is.
