Adkins managed his departure from Scunny better than MP managed his departure from Saints. Lambert managed his departure from Saints better than MP did. It's how it is done, not the fact that it is done. Nice try at slating Nigel but utterly unfounded.

You're going to have to get used to it. Lambert is a Liverpool player, it's a fact. Expecting a lecture about Saints every time his name is mentioned is just silly. The positive stories about our style of play and our players had nothing to do with Cortese's media chums - the high point was when Shaw was called up which was post-Cortese. Those stories didn't suddenly stop when Cortese left. The Italian just looked after his acolytes purring about his Champions League pie-in-the-sky.

That's not evidence of Liverpool FC "doing their transfer business in public" just evidence of the media being interested in who Liverpool want to sign. What with them being, like, Liverpool Football Club and everything. Meanwhile, in the last six weeks or so our Chairman and our head of football have made several very public statements about the status of potential transfers. Kinda "doing" our "transfer business" in "public" just as much as anyone else. And, our transfers of pretty much every player we have signed recently, from Jay Rod and Gaston to Osvaldo and Mayuka has been covered in the press before they happened. The only difference is the media just aren't as interested.

There is no evidence of Liverpool conducting their transfer business through the press any more than we do.

I know for a fact right now that he will definitely be better than any other manager that we have ever had.

What a load of nonsense, especially at the end of a season when the positive media love - in over us was beginning to make me feel slightly ill. There is no anti - Saints agenda in the media, just paranoid lunatics on football forums.

You're talking about Pochettino here, right?

Apparently we were gutted to miss out on Joe Cole and we are going all out to land Bobby Zamora, Chris Samba and Nikola Anelka. Or, maybe, just maybe, our transfer policy hasn't changed a jot. Why would it?

So you're saying we shouldn't whittle down the list at all, and appoint five managers? Seriously, keep it coming. Solid gold.

Don't bother. He has no understanding of the phrase. It's kinda sweet and sad at the same time.

The usual swivel - eyed drivel, only with the added bonus of showing you are too dumb to understand the meaning of the phrase "whittle it down from". Keep it up.

Brendan Rodgers gets a new job paid about five million quid a year. Roy gets paid off and probably retires having at least achieved being England manager at a WC. Liverpool hire a huge name to replave Rodgers, still signing Lallana. Who is getting served "sweet justice" in this scenario?

I really don't think the average football fan would have had the slightest shred of interest in reading about how a newly promoted team was interested in signing a Championship striker. Liverpool, on the other hand, are one of the biggest clubs in the world. Funnily enough they tend to get their every move analysed. Interesting how there are so many who pine after the "vision" of being top four, but seem incapable of understanding the kind of sh it that goes with that territory. Last summer there was an article or two about how Suarez might just be a good fit for Arsenal. This is the big league now.

Get your Alpine bingo cards out. 200th sneering reference to having stripes back. Eyes down.

I was sneering.

You don't say.

Absolutely this. Crabby has fallen for the biggest crock of sh it in the world of football. The "poor me" footballer, all sad and unloved and upset because of "lack of communication". Boo hoo. Like some "communication" from the club is going to stop Lallana wanting £100k a week at Anfield. The only "communication" he wants is "yes, you can go, Adam". Hilarious Crab Lungs is accusing the rest of us of being "duped" by Les when he is totally taken in by the "honest I would have loved to have stayed but they are being so howwible to me" routine.

Personally am disappointed this hasn't been completed before the world cup starts (well, they have 14 hours). Arbitrary and meaningless deadline but I think they should have hit it really. Oh well. Keep waiting.

Us plundering the likes of Burnley for the players they develop is absolutely fine. Just football. It's only when we get plundered that it becomes how this is a disgrace what's the point of being a supporter it's all about the money these days greedy mercenary footballer scum what happened to loyalty this is all so unfair but by the way how much longer do I have to wait before I see Saints spending tens of millions of pounds on a new player or six this summer start spending now for the love of god sign someone for big money now now now.

That's a heck of a lot of detail on someone who blatantly is not going to be our next manager. Can you do a dig into the career of Gerry Francis, now?

Forum gold today I see. Keep it up, chaps.

Ol' Swivel Eyes is back.

Not cynical but a ridiculous way of looking at it. If you have a top 5 targets and they all come forward, then that's pretty much what you want. I bet Malkay McKay and Owen Coyle came forward - should we have dropped everything and run to them?

How is that Argentina banner even remotely comparable to some of the Celtic fan base's support for the IRA? Two entirely disparate and utterly unrelated things, a clear theme on this thread.

You do realise how much he upset Steven Gerrard fifteen years ago, don't you? Ergo, he's useless.
