Koeman with the old coaching team in a heartbeat right now, as much as it pains me to say it. Would most probably galvanise the players, particular our Dutch international centre backs, and with some funds available in seven weeks time we'd fare much better than we are likely to under the current set up.* * Won't happen as it would involve Reed admitting he was wrong three times.

Spot on.

Yet another thing Liverpool have a proud history of - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-308410/Gerrards-U-turn-threats-family.html The good news is that if they eventually do murder a player they will undoubtedly light a candle for him as a precursor to martyrdom.

That or a Dr. No. style shark tank.

First big announcement from the Chinese likely to be about developing infrastructure rather than bringing in or shipping out personnel I would imagine.

A Barry Fry Ron Atkinson dream team would be superb, sort out the prima donnas and play 4-4-2.

Agree with you on that, and what a side that would be! Strength and guile all over the Park.

Needs to get on the Park before he can score!

Jay Rodriguez.

The superb Ronnie Ekeland had his sojourn at Saints under Bally just eighteen months before Palmer and said afterwards that Le Tissier's instinctive God given footballing ability put him on par with Laudrup, Romario, and Koeman, players he'd worked with at Barcelona. Who might Palmer be compared with in the same terms - Stephen Merchant perhaps?

Quite, or that perpetual w*nker John Bailey at the Dell.

Dirty Les...

Gentlemen prefer blondes...

Les Reed in......Masterchef with John Torode.

I'm with you on much of this Vectis, in simple terms I think Cortese was an egomaniac and Reed is a chancer. The stuff about the latter being an innovator is nonsense, most of it is framed in terms of public relations by the 'futuristic' Staplewood backdrop which was installed over budget by the former ;-)

If Reed was involved he'd probably sell her to the Saudi Royal Family to be honest.

Good Lord, Tattoo mark two - 'Theee plane Mr Reed theee plane...'

Agree with that, but doubt that Reed will be here to oversee it once the Chinese have their feet under the table - despite the current PR lacuna.

David Frost.

Superb - the Beatles felt the same...

On the plus side sales of tea lights and scarves are about to rocket and Mick Quinn has announced he is going on hunger strike until the deal is done!

And Vinny O'Connor to be bored sh*tless whilst faking activity to endear himself to the inhabitants of self-pity city...

Could finally give us a means of production.

More likely Gnarls Barkley!

Churchill is a bit of a stretch as an analogy, we are more of a Nick Clegg...
