And look how wonderfully that's worked out.

Not wonderfully, but still an improvement. Tells everything about AVB. It must be you and five or so others that pine after that catastrophe. We could've done a lot by appointing decent manager to follow Harry, instead we got that clown. Where would we be now with Rodgers?

Sorry, but I see no improvement. But I can answer your question about Rodgers - he'd be fired as well for not getting instant results.

Well, he is delivering them on his 2nd season whereas AVB was just going down. But that's what he does. Took over Chelsea that finished 2nd and got them into 5th by the time he was fired. Took over Spurs that had finished 4th and got the 5th and eventually 7th by the time he was fired. No matter what happens with Zenit this spring, when he has full season it's probably 3rd for them at best.

I really can't fathom this dim-witted idea that some numpties here still seem to have.........there is absolutely no way on this fucking planet that Rodgers would have been sacked by Spurs.
Levy might be silly but he isn't fucking stupid.
Look at Liverpool results since Christmas 2012,anyone could see that they were getting things right and that they would be a major player in the Top 4 this season.

Rodgers himself said that the decision to fire AVB was callous and stupid and was glad he didn't join us. To him, he dodged a major bullet by going to Liverpool.

What manager in the Premier League would say that another manager deserved the sack?

where people get dodge bullets regularly :)
I find it fascinating that there is someone who doesn't see it that way. We are far from good, Sherwood is far from good. But we've climbed up the table, we have better points per game average, we're scoring actually goals and some youth have gotten their chances. Anyone who wants to back to AVB days ought to be forced to watch our autumn PL games again - if that wasn't seemed as form of torture. Actually you've delighted my sunday, despite all that has been going on lately I'm just delighted to be rid of AVB for good.

this was the AWB project involving the hiring of 7 totally new players after the removal of arguably the most influential player on one team in a decade, we were 'baled' out so many times in the dying minutes of a lot games and everyone knew it, what did everyone expect from 7 new players? we were stable with AWB, this pantomime we are witnessing now is painful, i cant believe people.

Dont bother with him. Just have fun with it. At this point, he's as hopeless as finn, dinghy and eddie. Let them be. Soon enough Timmeh will be gone and they'll be crying in a corner.
How very petty and childish. Kind of what I've come to expect though. If you feel the need to abuse posters you really should be big enough to tag them in your posts.

Even with most influential player on one team in decade, AVB got barely points on better rate on PL than much malinged Sherwood is getting now. That's how good he was.

You reckon he has ability to do so? And no, won't tag either as it is not deemed neccesary.

Anyone that thinks Sherwood is half decent needs their fucking head examining. This dimwit sent us to Anfield without a holding midfield player. I reckon if we did a poll of 100 football fans, not even Spurs fans, not a one would advocate going to the best attacking side in the country without a DM. He did the same at WBA, strugglers who'll play largely on the counter and look to pick off your mistakes. No DM meant everytime we lost possession in their half, our shaky defence was wide, fucking open. Pathetic management.

I'm personally pulling my hair out at reading people thinking our comeback was something credible. It was fucking abject. To concede 3 in the opening half hour at the Hawthorns is embarrassing. All Dim had to do was pick a coherent, functioning and rational football team and we'd have won at a canter. Instead, he pulled his usual 'I know best' bollox and paid the price. Don't try and come out of that shit with credibility.

Must've been something to do with Capoue being out and Sandro/Dembele not being fully fit. For me more dimwit was to even include those to on the bench and risk latter by playing him as sub. Cost us by getting Dembele back to treatment table.

Closest thing to DM availabe was Bentaleb (cue to earlier comment about fielding Dembele at Anfield - a mistake), but seeing your comments about Anfield you don't see him as such no DM available. Should he have played himself?

We are still starting every match like a bunch of strangers with no tactical plan what so ever. This hasn't improved from Sherwoods first match to now. So i'm really confused as to why anyone has faith this will change in the future? That is enough reason not to give Sherwood the job long term imo.

The problem with employing such an inexperienced manager is that you have no evidence from previous jobs that he can get things right. And Sherwood isn't giving us any reason from his short time with us to believe he can improve major facets like starting matches shambolically and giving goals away. So what are people placing there faith in? I'm genuinely interested.

We are literally his Petri dish.

Levy should never have put us in this position.

Amateur chairmanship on this one, baldy.

Sherwood needs to go, the players need long hard look at themselves.

Any of them who think they are above us and want out and pine for CL football need to be told under no circumstances will they be allowed to leave. they should be ashamed of themselves.

lastly Levy needs to hold his hands up realise he has messed up massively and get a proper manager, give him time to get the results required.

So after Bale left AWB struggled to Pick Up The Pieces?
