The ones from Liverpool who go to the games are some of the most reasonable and knowledgeable I’ve met in 40 odd years of supporting Saints. There’s certainly more bias and general cluelessness at St Mary’s than there is amongst that group. Due to their success & the “history“ surrounding the club, they’ve inherited a vast number of idiots from around the country, probably the children of my generation, as we started watching the game when their success started. There’s also a lot from the surrounding areas, who aren’t really scousers at all, more woolly backs. It’s a great city with great people in, whether red or blue they’re a pleasure to talk football with. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The whole game gave a fascinating insight into the modern game. Fantastic skills, and excitement but the culture of the game is being lost. The commentary creaming themselves over VvD, yet never acknowledging his horrendous behaviour and unprofessionalism towards us. Ronaldo hinting that he was leaving in an interview straight after the game was completely classless. He didn't like the fact Bale was going to get the headlines, so had to make it about him. Finally all YNWA stuff shown as complete pony. Say what you like about Sir Alex, and he was a ruthless barsteward, but he'd have been over consoling that keeper as soon as it ended, as would have Gary Neville and others schooled under Fergie. The self pity and selfish behaviour of the Liverpool and staff towards that lad was shocking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a ****ing clown. Can you imagine Shanks or Bob Paisley being like this after a win, let alone a defeat. http:// https://mobile.twitter.com/oliver__bond/status/1000705656507322368 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You’d think so, but Klopp seems to have a blind spot when it comes to keepers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Them ****s have left that poor keeper on his own. Real Madrid players consoling him at the end of game, Liverpool players too concerned about themselves Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Klopp deserves some stick, but the press love him so much they’ll lay off him. Everybody knows both their keepers are substandard, but he doesn’t address it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

**** sake. McCarthy isn’t anything special. Why are people posting like he’s the great young thing. He’s just a competent premier league keeper. No way is he a top 4 player at the moment Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Who signs off the wages, transfer budget and managerial appointments. Is Les Reed answerable to anyone, or is his the final say. Until you know the answers to those questions it's hard to apportion blame. It could be that Reed wants Hughes, thinks we should pay him what he wants, but somebody higher up the food chain disagrees and won't cough up. It could be that Reed doesn't really want Hughes so is putting obstacles in his way. Unless you know the budget and responsibilities Reed has it's pretty hard to judge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The problem for me is that people don’t know Les’ remit. If we accept this new narrative that the new manager can only spend what he generates , did that come from the owner, or the 3 “imbeciles “. Les is a football man, there’s not 1 football man who doesn’t want to spend more money, so I’d imagine it came from above him. Les’ remit could be to go out and get the best manager possible under xyz conditions. Unless or until I know the conditions Les is forced to work under, I’m reluctant to slag him off. Clearly if a decent salary, transfer budget is in his gift and he’s dicking about, then he deserves all the clog he gets. However, it could be that Gao has given him a horrendous hospital pass and he’s trying to get a decent manager to accept that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If Hughes doesn't want to work within the framework and budgets decided by his bosses, **** him, there's plenty that will. Thanks for the 8 games, don't let the door bang your arse on the way out. Personally, I'd have thought he'd be begging us to take him on, he was pretty much washed up as a top flight manager until we throw him a life line. What other club is going to take him. Enjoy your break until Jan time when someone in the shiete may give you another chance. I would prefer Hughes because I think he deserves it and also it'll give us some stability . But it's not exactly the end of the world if we have to look elsewhere. People wetting their knickers because Mark Hughes doesn't want to manage us, **** me, have we sunk that low.

Yeah, we don't want continental knob jockeys we've had enough of them. We need a real Brit leading us. WTF are the board mincing about at. A proper club would have the bloke in place now, on the training pitch running them into the ground. Holidays are for foreign Nancy boys and knob jockeys, not getting Hughes in earlier is going to cost us big time. If we go down it'll be because we waited until the end of May to appoint him. Typical, I bet Les Reed only delayed it to save on a weeks wages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Driving us from league 1 to the premiership was the easy bit, don’t forget Norwich with Delia driving them did the exact same thing the previous year. As Burnley have proved, it’s not particularly hard to finish 8th. The hardest part is pushing on from Europa League to Champions league. What on Earth makes you think Cortese could have done that without bankruptcy. Do you ever wonder why he’s not been given another job in football. Doesn’t that make you stop and think for one minute Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Fact????? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So Les appointed Puel & Pell, but not Hughes. In fact he’s “horrified” over it. I’m confused, either Reed picks the managers, in which case he choose Ronald Koeman & Hughes, or he doesn’t. Your theory doesn’t make sense. You claim he’s lost the plot, and wants us to play a certain way. However, you then go on to say that his latest appointment mixes it up, and doesn’t play like that.

If Lemina was playing for Celtic , he'd be playing every week. Gabbi would score 30 goals a season in Scotland. Clyne isn't liverpools first choice right back, but you'd rather we signed Patrick Thistle's because he's playing every game and is outstanding at that level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I'm getting it. Anything good since Cortese left was nothing to do with Reed and he's just taking credit for it, but anything bad, is. Therefore when we finished higher than Cortese ever did, played in Europe which Cortese never did, went further in both cup completions than Cortese ever did, it was nothing to do with Reed. Yet the one, ONE season that we finish lower than we did under Cortese (but still went further in the FA cup) its all down to Reed. **** me, and there was me thinking it was a bit more nuanced than that. The Reed haters have really opened my eyes with their well thought through precise analysis of the situation. It's all on Reed (apart from the good bits). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**** me, we had all this ****e with Gaston. As Sir Alex Ferguson said "working hard is a talent " , so I don't buy this line that somehow his ability gives him the right to not put the required effort in. Nor do I buy this theory that he's somehow been mismanaged. Hughes came in when we were in desperate straits, every player had a clean slate, we were crying out for some creativity, yet Hughes soon binned him, doesn't that tell you something. He can go off and mince around in some other league because he's not good enough for the one we play in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know, I just realised what the guy meant. Too many Bishops Tipples this afternoon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends if they're good enough. Personally I'd rather see English players, but if they're not good enough it's a recipe for relegation

I think they’re concerned that this massive announcement may deflect attention from the royal wedding. Perhaps the establishment have been on to the club asking for a delay . Or maybe an agreements been made in principle but both sets of legal bods are dotting the i,s and crossing the t’s, before announcing it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
