A question for Ed001 please. I remember Souness the player, and I remember Souness the manager and I think for the people who only remember him as a manager tend to get the wrong impression about what he played a part in for our club. Now I know his time as manager wasn't the greatest, but if I remember correctly he took over an aging squad and hadn't the new law in regards to only having 3 foreign players in your team, which took in Irish players? Think he sold Staunton and kept David burrows for this reason. Thought he signed a few decent players, Mark Wright and Saunders weren't bad, Rob Jones probably being the stand out player he bought. I know he bought Paul Stewart which was the shocker. I think it was always going to be a job following shanks, Paisley, Fagan and Dalglish. Do you feEl he was as bad for the club as some see him?

{Ed001's Note - no, he wasn't quite as bad as it seemed, he just tried to do everything all at once when he first came in. However the football was dire, Saunders, Stewart and most of his other signings were dross and only good for hoofball football. He was desperately trying to change Liverpool, to try and modernise it, that he forgot to keep the good stuff and threw out everything. Then, when he realised it, he was trying to refigure things but made the mistake of selling his soul and that was that.}

Thanks for the answer mate. Think he thought he could play like they did at rangers I suppose and be a success. Was that the interview with the scum paper that you meant?

{Ed001's Note - yes, once he did that his days were always going to be numbered. There are some things you just can't do.}

heard that he right away changed all the light bulbs to 60 watt, I kid you not, and stopped the lunch meal that the players were getting after training, don't shoot the messenger .

He did play a big part in managing the emergence of Fowler and McManaman. I know they didn't play a lot under him but he definitely helped them at the start of their careers.
