Does anyone know why Danny Murphy has been mad at Liverpool for over 15 years?

Desperately trying to stay relevant maybe. Or just jealous we never idolised him like other players. Worst part is I actually liked him when he played for us. Never forget that goal at old trafford.


2.) 30 Jun 2020 19:30:23
I am guessing he didn't want to leave but was shown the door. For me I enjoyed some of his goals but he was a good game in 6 kind of player.

I've been watching some Bill Shankly interviews recently, I'm becoming absolutely obsessed with the man. I'm only 30 so I don't know what his teams were like, I just know he was extremely successful.

Question though, why did he retire from management when he did, and do you think it was to early? From what I saw he still seemed hungry and young enough to do another 5 years. I felt like in a couple of interviews he regrets leaving when he did. I was also surprised on how forward thinking he was in terms of resting young players and not burning players out.

Zeppelin

{Ed001's Note - he didn't retire, he just never wanted to work for anyone but Liverpool after his time with us. He used to regularly quit in order to get his way with the board, and I do mean regularly, he just used it once too often and they accepted his resignation. It nearly broke him.}


1.) 20 May 2019 21:31:19
Wow I didn't know that, that's extremely sad considering how highly he spoke of the club, I can only imagine how much that broke him. Do you feel he was right with his demands or was the board correct in not being held ransom? I remember Kevin K doing the same at Newcastle, at the time I saw it as petulance and a bit of a tantrum.


2.) 20 May 2019 22:33:49
Jesus Eds001, every day I learn something new.


3.) 20 May 2019 22:52:27
He was right in his demands but he went about it the wrong way. It is ok threatening to resign one or twice, but he was doing it much more often and it loses its value when you do that.


4.) 20 May 2019 23:07:57
Wow, Ed01. The fact that Shanks could not work for us anymore nearly broke him? That sounds horrifying.

{Ed001's Note - he was lost mate. He even ended up going to watch Everton things were so bad.}


5.) 21 May 2019 00:39:52
He would still go to Training when he first retired, but because the players still called him gaffa the board asked him to stop attending as it was undermining Paisley. He had upset the board with his comments that the club was about the fans, the players, the manager and that the board was only there to sign the cheques. He was expecting a seat on the board like Busby got at United, but they were frightened of him interfering
They did treat him bad though the only away game he was invited to was the 76 uefa cup final and they made him stay in a different hotel. He did help Toshack at Swansea and Ron Yeats at Tranmere and Wrexham and he use to commentate on the radio. Tommy Smith said it was Nessie that begged him to give up the job and he retired at 60 because he was tired and devoted to his wife, He also said the directors had become fed up with his demands and only Peter Robinson had tried to change his mind. We announced his departure on the same day we signed Ray Kennady so they expected him to stay but he had promised his wife he would leave and he did.


6.) 21 May 2019 07:34:10
There’s an old Johnny Giles radio interview on YouTube somewhere where he describes seeing Shankly around after he’d left Liverpool that bears Ed001 out.
Very sad really.


7.) 21 May 2019 12:22:48
this is fascinating. thanks for the knowledge. many of us who are not in England had no idea about all of this. that's why i love this site so much.


8.) 21 May 2019 16:27:40
I remember seeing video footage from match of the day from back then and they were asking Liverpool fans what they thought of shanks resigning and they were all in shock, but on the plus side his successer didn't do too bad a job now did he.


9.) 21 May 2019 18:40:34
My heart truly weeps for Shanks, Ed01. That is like I said, just horrifying for him.

Great result yesterday, this is one of the most complete Liverpool teams I've ever seen. (I'm only 32) We have a top 5 GK, the best CB in the world imo, the best LB in the League, one of the best front 3's in world Football. I think the best winger in world football in Salah and one of the best LWs in the League, (Mane) . oh and one of the best managers in the world. Question for Ed01 if we are to keep all our first team players. What would you do this summer in terms of transfers? Would invest heavily on the continuity i. e. young players that will be ready in 2 - 3 years or would you add to our starting 11 with proven quality. If so what positions would you look at improving if any? Obviously would like to know everyone else's views. on the future.

{Ed001's Note - full-backs to push the ones we have and allow them to have a rest if needed. No point buying back ups, they have to be at least good enough to make it a fight for the place.}


1.) 15 Apr 2019 13:22:02
I expect 3/ 4 signings max. Like Ed said a full back who can push, preferably keep Milner as cover too and let Lewis prove himself out on loan. A back up gk if migs leaves, a youngish cb to push vvd and Gomez if lovren or national leaves then finally a Brandt type player who can cover all the attacking positions. That would depend on departures of course but Lallana and Sturridge should be going, possibly Origi. My personal picks would be Pope, Aaron’s, tah, Brandt. Sorted!


2.) 15 Apr 2019 13:52:00
I sincerely hope origi stays. If you'd asked me 6 months ago, i would have said "give him away! "

I think decent fbs and a DS and AL replacement if they leave. Apart from that we are good. Oh and a back up keeper if migs leaves. (which i hope to god he does. Fed up with his mardy face even when we're 3 0 up in europe)


3.) 15 Apr 2019 14:12:47
Matip not national. Spellcheck and me being careless!


4.) 15 Apr 2019 14:42:59
I agree Learchy, I'd really like a world class RB and creative Center Mid/ LW, a young CB that has the potential to partner Gomez one day. Éder Militão would have been ideal as he plays RB and CB. 3 players would actually be perfect and a back up GK.


5.) 15 Apr 2019 14:45:08
Matip is fine for a back up cb. I reckon he has proved that in the last 4 months.


6.) 15 Apr 2019 15:34:28
I think we should be having a think about our 3rd and 4th choice centre backs, Matip and Lovren. I can see Lovren wanting to be first choice somewhere so might leave and Matip being in the squad scares me to be honest, I don’t get all this he’s good enough as a back up, he’s not.
Could both go? Then buy a third choice centre back who is reliable and a youngster from within.


7.) 15 Apr 2019 23:05:57
We have to remember both Lovren and Mario are on £100k a week, that's a lot for back up cbs, but also a lot for another team to take on when signing them.


8.) 16 Apr 2019 10:30:24
Spot on, Ed. We need competition for places in the team, not someone coming in whereby everyone knows he has no chance of ever being first choice. Whoever we bring in MUST be ready to compete for his spot and the platform has to reflect that when he is signed.
As for Matip, I myself, am his biggest critic (even tho I thought he was solid vs Chelsea) . He does not fill me with confidence and since Lovs won't want to be back up to Gomez when fit then I reckon he will be the one to part.

What do the Eds make of Brendan Rogers to Leicester. Do you think it's good for both parties,

Do you think he became a better manager in Scotland. I haven't really watched them,

But I remember Rogers couldn't really change tactics or adapt to how the game was going. He didn't acknowledge his weakness and was a bit smug when it came to his own ability and learning from others with more experience. I actually hope he does well this time, he does play an exciting brand of football, we need more expansive styles of play in the EPL I'm tired of watching the Burnleys of this world kicking lumps out of the opposition.

Zeppelin

{Ed002's Note - It has been on the cards and another stepping stone to a top six English side, or perhaps to Spain. I am surprised it has been allowed to happen with the season underway.}


1.) 27 Feb 2019 16:13:27
Cultic fans are livid with him and I don't blame them. 2 months is all he had to wait. Finish the season with cultic, make history and then join a premier league club in the summer. I have a feeling that better jobs than Leicester will become available. Especially if spurs don't win any thing.


2.) 27 Feb 2019 17:25:00
Leicester have had to pay Celtic £6 Million to get him out of his contract. Keita just been talking on LFC Channel he has to have an Interpreter which is not good enough as he had a full season at RB Leipzig to learn English plus the 9 months he has here, no wonder his progress is slow if you can't communicate in English to your fellow team mates.
Liverpool under 18s this afternoon beat Stoke u18s 3-1 at Kirby, to go top of there league, Glatzel played so won't be involved tonight which is a shame. let's hope first team win tonight to replicate under 18s.


3.) 27 Feb 2019 18:43:07
Dembele tweeting i told you so, apparently something to do with him being disloyal.


 

 

13 Jan 2019 09:46:44
Ed when you find the time, I know you catching up so it won't be for a while. Could you possibly do a profile on Dennis Bergkamp. He is the reason I played football even as Liverpool supporters, he has to be my favourite EPL player, well him and Alonso now.

Zeppelin

{Ed001's Note - he is in the legends list so will get a profile along with the article there.}


1.) 13 Jan 2019 09:52:35
Thank you so much, I've read most of them, you are not waisting your time, I can only assume most of us appreciate the effort you put into them as I certainly do.

{Ed001's Note - thank you mate, glad to hear that.}


2.) 13 Jan 2019 09:55:20
Can't wait for that profile on Bergkamp. He's my favorite player of all time. Probably read 100s of articles on him and still want to read more.

{Ed001's Note - I have to admit he is one of my favourites too. I was gutted when Arsenal signed him.}


3.) 13 Jan 2019 10:25:44
The one player along with Van Basten who made me love football
the number one being john Barnes of course but these three for me are legends.


4.) 13 Jan 2019 10:58:39
And to think we got Collymore the same summer that Arsenal got Bergkamp and for less money!


5.) 13 Jan 2019 11:14:57
no mate we did not collymore came much later then bergkamp.


6.) 13 Jan 2019 13:44:54
Ed01, could you do one on thelegant CB Alessandro Nesta as well when you have the time?

{Ed001's Note - he is on the list too don't worry.}


7.) 13 Jan 2019 15:39:41
Don't think this will be a popular choice, but you could also pop/ sneak Carlos Tevez on the list please?

{Ed001's Note - ok mate added him.}


8.) 13 Jan 2019 23:01:45
Thank you ed!

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. To be fair, he does deserve to be on there, I just usually wait until a player fully retires before I consider them.}

I'm with Edd, he gets exposed by anyone with a bit of pace and power. His qualities playing RB is all offensive, his crossing is something a box to box right sided player can do as well.

I would have him compete with a 1st team RB and CM, i. e take Lallana's role. So essentially a back up CM and RB.

I find it amazing how Napoli hold on to their best players for such a long time. It can't be due a lack of interest. Are they hard to deal with?

I don't understand how we'd struggle, we got 97 points and won the champions league last season, we've lost a LB and a ST who hardly featured. We've added Ox who didn't kick a ball last season and Brewster.

So already we're in a better position squad wise than we were last season, add to that players like Fab and Naby, Allison settling in. The world class players reaching peak age, Mane Salah Allison, Virg. The squad is more settled and understand the system more.

I'd love to add an AM/ LW and LB but I don't get the meltdown.

I think what the Edd's have been eluding to is that it's hard to bring in someone of the same level as our front 3 (world class) just to have him sit on the bench for large parts of the season. Someone of that caliber will not be cheap so how do A. Justify an 80million plus bench player, B. convince that player he'll get more than 30 EPL games C. Keep that player happy on the bench. No club in the EPL have that bar City and even those players want to leave for lack of game time.

I'm not sure some players understand what Klopp does for their game. I honestly feel the way we play the style, intensity, work rate etc etc hides a lot of their individual flaws.

As a unit we are amazing and yes we have some world class players, but look at the amount of Klopp managed players truly excelled after leaving his teams.

Neymar should be dropped from the Brazilian team, he is not a team player and has too much power. Ronaldo, Ronaldiniho, Romario all won world cups for their country and showed more respect to their supports and were 10 times the player this show pony is.
