great read ed, just a quick question to you and all reds, what's better -

pep, kdb, silva, aguero

or

klopp, coutinho, mane, firmino

I only ask as the first option has a bigger rep and most other fans would say that, yet for me the second option has everything that a team needs, charisma, creativity, speed, workrate.

cheers.

{Ed001's Note - Klopp by a mile.}

Its a great read, thanks very much.

It leaves me wondering what happened that Rodgers team self imploded?

I didn't like the way when the club got rid off Rodgers back room staff that he didn't resign out of principle and loyalty to Pascoe et al.

Maybe it showed a weakness in his credability as it ran counter to his much self publicised philosophy.

Maybe that seeped into the team and they dropped performance levels.

We seem now to have a stronger personality in charge with a lot more pedigree than Rodgers will ever have.

But remember Rodgers had 1 great season as well so only time will tell.

{Ed001's Note - Rodgers believed his own hype and made everything about him. Fine when it was going well, but the minute it goes wrong it collapses. Similar to Jose, but Rodgers never reached his level.}

Dermot, the club did not get rid of Marsh and Pascoe (BR`s assistants) . BR personally got rid of them in a bid to save himself from the looming chop and that is common knowledge. Nobody gave BR a raw deal. You have more principles in your left pinky than BR. It was his arrogance (personal and tactical), dishonesty, coaching incompetence, and lack of taking personal responsibility for anything (just like his shameless mentor Jose), that lost us the PL, lost him the DR, the fans and eventually, got him the sack, as Ed stated numerous times at that time and now. He`s doing the same nonsense at Celtic right now but it`s a one team league so even he can`t screw that up, can he?

I remember the days when Ron was one of the most hated here and his comments had mad dislikes and so many negative replies, how times change now he's third on the popularity scale after Ed1 and Wonderdog.

Tks Hamilton and Ed for the report and the reply.
It shows you the measure of the man.

He has gone to the only club in the only league that guarantees him champs league football and a chance to rub shoulders with Europes elite, but with the excuse of always being the underdog when they lose.

I didn't like the way he managed Stevie at the end.

I know a lot if ye have problems with Stevie but for me he's up there with the best.

Thanks for that excellent sum up ed, i feel like a sicophant because i tend to always agree with what you say and believe me i try hard not to. I too was extremly disappointed by both our league form at the back end of last season and i truly believe we could have gotten top 4 if we prioritised it the other teams were that bad last season.

And the less said about the europa league final the better. I am with ron having started the season a doubter. I know we are going to lift that trophy in may and will savour every step of the journey because it will be exhilarating.

{Ed001's Note - thanks mate, I am sure we have disagreed in the past though.}
