"And you can bring ya fackin' dinner" never ceases to amuse me.

I used it once. A lad chucked his rubbish on the floor walking past my house. I told him to put it in the bin 10 yards away and he refused. So I called him a "fucking tramp" to which he got most upset, and threatened to bring his entire extended family to sort me out, which of course set it up, an absolute tap in.

I fucking hate people who drop litter.

I know it is all a bit "old git" to be like that, but I've been that way since i was a teenager. There's no fucking excuse for it.

I think judging Moyes in Spain is a bit misleading though. He did will last season and in this league he had done much better than anything else we have brought in apart from Houllier. The side is desperate for some organising and a plan.

If we are going to settle for British/Irish shite management yet again I suppose he is the best candidate, it would just be massively dissapointing to repeat the very same mistake yet again.

Sigh.

Moyes would have nothing to lose. If we went down it'd be no slight on him given the starting point and if we stayed up he'd be a hero. Following Sherwood would be a liberating experience as opposed to the thankless task of following Fergy and I reckon he'd nail it no problem. Get him in pronto.

Yep.

I'm sorry but fuck it. We are in an absolutely desperate mess, we need somebody that seriously knows what they're doing, and isn't coming off the back of a couple of failures.

So who would you suggest? Moyes would be a great option for us in our current position I think

I'd prefer Rodgers over Moyes.

Yes I know the O'Leary esque bo**ocks that he seems to utter after every game would grate but I think lost in his Liverpool reign is he is a decent coach and he can work well with young players, he turned Sterling into a 50m player after all.

I think Rodgers would be a good fit for a squad with Amavi, Gil, Grealish etc in it, I think he could produce something that could win games and be entertaining to watch.

Moyes would be different, it would be more grind and scrap out results. Long term I'm not sure what he'd come up with.

Anyway just get in a manager who can win games once in a win, it would be a pleasant change.

Yup. We usually take a while to turn our new managers into losers desperate to try and ressurect their reputations. With Moyes he is already there.

I want Randy to spend big and bring in a manager at the top of his game, understands modern tactics and knows he will be backed significantly during the next two windows.

We are a big club dammit. I am tired of our managerial appointments being so fucking small time.

If he took us down his reputation would be in tatters regardless of what he inherits. However, he would be well placed to get us back up

You want to swap one manage that cannot organise a defence for another?

The only thing more comical than Liverpool's attempt at defending when we played them was our own.

Bielsa, Prandelli, we could even just muscle up to a club and actually pay to take their manager for a change who knows? There are a lot of good managers out there.

God if the likes of West Ham, Southampton & Spurs can go out and attract good foreign managers, a cliub like Aston Villa sure as hell should be able to.

Pros and cons for both Moyes and Rodgers.

Someone today mentioned Harry Redknapp........

If that happened I reckon it would be time to put the "Closed" sign up and lock the door.

I'm unsure about Rodgers, but I'd tend to agree about that the looks like it suits him.

At least we'd have a plan I suppose. Although he'd need a postman's sack to carry those letters with the names of the players that will let him down this season.

Swansea's first season in premier league, they kept 14 clean sheets.

http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=2513&comp_id=1&teamTabs=results

First season at Liverpool he kept 16 clean sheets.

http://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1563&season_id=141&teamTabs=results

13/14 was all out attack, bit like us that one season under MON when we scored 70 goals.

Last season he didn't have a scooby.

Kept a couple of clean sheets this season before it all went tits up.
