I didn't see Pellegrini as a fit though, he was just a name. This bloke seems more of a fit in terms of the style of play, very MP like.

He knows 'Jack Schitt''

Going by the unbelievable reactions in this thread, the club have probably pulled one out of the bag again.

Is there something I've missed as to why people are dismissing him and putting him in the category of Wigley and Gray? I've not really heard a great deal about him, but a quick glance at what he's done in France suggests he's one of the better managers over there. His style of play sounds great fun. So, what exactly is it that people aren't happy about with him?

Iceland it is then. What a set of 2 games that was! That's more like it, two teams going for it from the off.

WTF is going on here 2-1 Hungary 2-2 now 3-2 Hungary game of the tournament by a mile.

Ok, this will throw the cat among the pigeons. Iceland 1 - 0 Austria Hungary 1 - 0 Portgual

Ah good, i thought it was just me. But yeah, it works for a bit....then will hang for ages.

Zenga, Carvalhal were agent plants, or just media generating stores as they don't have a clue. We won't ever know who has shown an interest, it's safe to say if you take what's in the papers as gospel then you're a little naive.

Given that these have now been finalised/confirmed, does that kind of indicate that a potential manager has possibly given the ok...?

I wouldn't really say it's our inability to finish, more the fact that we simply didn't create enough clear-cut chances for some of the most prolific players in the PL. Formations, tactics is all the blame. Too pedestrian and rigid.

TBF I think it's pretty likely we'll end up playing Portugal.

Does make you wonder how we can make some of the PL's most prolific attacking mids and strikers look so ineffective.

Of all the positiveness from the 2nd half against Wales, this has been utter turd.

When Alpine starts making posts and outlandish claims such as this, we're often on the brink of good news and he's made to look like a wolly again. So it's a good sign.

I don't remember a single person being happy with MP at the time, not one. The whole feeling was around chants and protests at the Everton home game to send our 'displeasure'.

Ah he's back.

32m for Deeney, wtf.

Bale and MP have done alright.

There have been too many seriously dull games! I've not even been watching this one, and I thought i'd be hooked after the England game....but it just aint grabbing my attention yet.

TBF Houllier was pretty tosh at Liverpool before he went there.

Fans are too gullible to the media, the media play the meltdown line every year - but we had one summer like that, one. People are too influenced by media ********. Just look at the actual facts.

I honestly don't see how we could have a good season when it's publicly known that the manager is off. You'd have week after week of flaming speculation, it wouldn't be that good an environment.

I think you need some new bed-sheets.

Nah, not at all to be honest.
