Well put ....

Sorry but every summer is a complete and utter car crash. This summer our best player is talking to everyone but you and probably so is our international full back and to cap it all our Manager is splashed all over the press as maybe sacked but maybe not.... Every year it's the same. Things happen around you and you are evidently not in control of situations. Why is that Les? Why are you a victim ? Why do our best players and Managers not want to stay ? Why is there an accelerating uncontrolled mess every summer in your department? You are not progressing the club, you are not leading well and with organised authority. We have a good infrastructure which you do not enhance but Flaff around and looking important doing very little far too late every year. It's tiresome now.... Maybe you should leave !

I beg to differ. The 'product' is results and entertainment not the players. Players are assets with which you need in order to produce the product.... The business model if you are a share holder is to buy and sell assets and make money. As fans we pay money for results and entertainment. Our model is not concerned with the way our team make money but how they perform.

Thanks for that 'valuation' Les !

There are very few 'businesses' that have a model of letting their best people leave every year! That is not a 'business model' That is a plan to fail or at best stand still which always equals eventual decline..... It's no use being conceited about the partial luck we have enjoyed this year. This is not a sustainable low risk business strategy, apart from the fact that that this is a results driven business. It is amazing how many business 'experts' there are in here who like to uligise about the club as a business and how successful it is as a business. Us fans are not ruddy directors or share holders, we are fans who have different aspirations beginning and ending with success and that is our role - not profit and loss!

Selling at all is stupid but the continual underselling of our players is now leaving me wondering why and at who's instigation, if you get my drift....... Plus even more intriguingly to the same club!!!!!!!!! If Redcrap was still here we would all be shouting brown envelope ..... Conspiracy or just coincidence but it seems Liverpool never have to call back... we are selling something which is highly desirable so the price should be higher than the underlying value which in today's climate has to be £70m plus.... Just odd that this is a continuing theme.... Football is very dodgy these days - in my opinion.. :-) it's almost farcical and becoming so remote. Glad I don't subscribe to Sky and BT nor will I - its wrecking the game....

No.... Not the case at all.... If we pay him off he can't get another job until his old contract runs out - if we choose. Puel will not want that at all, he wants to work so is quickly looking for a new job! We should not wait long though as uncertainty is very bad for direction and a clear message to the players. Unfortunately Les has a terrible habit of letting events overtake him and ending up in a right mess! If Les lets this drag on and and trips up again he should go too. Les is the captain of this ship and its decision time right now... Has he learnt his lessons or will Puel finally leave the last week in July followed by a group of our best players again ? This year Les you need to make things happen not watch them happen...

Precisely! He even says Watson is a brilliant goalkeeping coach which doesn't I still much confidence either!

Hardly drama queen!

Sorry but Puel has to take some of the blame for the ridiculous perceverance with Tadic on pens....

I think you need to forget the league position and concentrate on points gained. We literally scraped 8th and earned 17 points less than last year which is a lot..... Couple that with actual performances baring the odd exceptionals and then you have a true picture of the season. We can be top four as Leicester proved - it is possible and you have to set high targets, however this year we were a very long way from our next target of Europa qualification - a very long way! Puel did make lots of 'questionable' team selection decisions and also was far too intransigent with his tactical formation. All in all it's a big risk to go with Puel again. His intransigence is a major factor which will make many people think nothing will change next year and there is too high a risk of a collapse...

How long does a 'review' take? Surely the guy deserves to know one way or the other by now.... If this is indecision then that really is not the best management style for us. Voids leave players to have their own 'reviews' which often do not come out well for us.......

Exactly accurate....

Oh dear, no ambition and low esteme ... I'd prefer to think big personally ...

Precisely:Danny Fox was one of the worse left backs ever in any league for any club and certainly us. Talking of 'favourites' who should never be picked if Puel has that problem, on the Fox issue so did Adkins .... Managers who have favourited will fail and Puel and Adkins may well have that in common...

You have been drinking ......

A fine servant but let's not get carried away.....

As several players have gone backwards under Puel it is unlikely that Puel is responsible for certain players getting better.... is that not so.... ?

So what logic does Puel use for player selection decisions? Boufal has been woeful (see what I did there?) and yet he still gets to come on and give the ball away continuously !

Well if Puel insists on us taking pens on the ground then yes! Pens should be in the top third of the goal .....

Is Puel on this planet ? Don't dare have a good game playing for this guy - you will be dropped for sure next match! Does he have a massive ego or does he enjoy ****ing his players off, unless your name is Tadic of course or Forster.

Yes 12th

Apart from Fonte we always sell cheap!

Oh dear Klopp is such a bad loser....poor form mate.... Puel actually out thought Klopp which doesn't say so much about the German. Having said that Puel needs to pull his finger out at home ....
