Didn't take any shampoo when asked about John Park yesterday.

"Do you have anyone in mind for the role?"

"That's none of your business" :rocker:

Didn't even need a press officer to step in and haul him out of the room like a scolded toddler.
Just listened to his post match PC and was :lol: at that. He is so straight talking and clear about who is in charge.

Moyes an utterly ill fit for us. The man plays relegation football and thinks like a relegation candidate. As such, he and Everton were kindred spirits.

Delighted we got Rodgers now. All my worries about him have been corrected. The upside was he could get us playing marvellous football (he is) but downside was he would talk too much shampooe (doing nothing of the sort) so aye...exceptional. Still wake up in the middle of the night worried about Moyes. We'd have got Pienaar and Fellaineh in on loan with effing Jagielka being our "couldn't get it over the line" lie signing on deadline day. The man builds team in his own image - which is just chips, no salt, no nothing.

Fellaini is one of the players who is a mystery to me...as in it is a mystery how he ever finishes 90 minutes. More often than not he should have seen a red card.

'Talks too much shampoo'. This point was something I found really curious. No one at Liverpool minded Rodgers talking up his squad and his players when they were winning. It was only when things went south the David Brent chat started. Rodgers is a positive guy. He believes in creating a happy, positive atmosphere in the dressing room. He refuses to criticise players in public and backs them to the hilt where possible. He was criticised on here for refusing to call Red Imps an embarassment. To what end? Thus far his approach has proven spot on. He is in charge of a happy camp. His approach is working and the results are plain to see.

all on this forum who voted for David Moyes should have an asterisk
beside their name to remind everyone that they have judgement issues. Moyes will never manage at top level football again. Gone before warbiola.

I thought at the time that he was more attainable than Rodgers, who was being strongly linked with Swansea if I remember rightly. I felt it was the right time for Moyes, he'd already worked in the biggest job he'll ever get in England and he had the experience of going abroad. Thankfully he didn't have the ambition to come north and be the man to get us back into the Champions League, and Brendan Rodgers did. Absolutely delighted with the way things have turned out.

For what it's worth, I think Moyes would have been a success too, but it would have been completely different. We wouldn't be seeing the type of football we are under Rodgers, and we wouldn't have gone toe-to-toe with Manchester City the way we did.

I was a Moyes man myself and I have to admit that the announcement of Rodgers left me a little deflated. But I felt the same way when MON was announced.

Quite happy to be shown I ken feck aw aboot fitba'.

My main criticism of Rodgers so far is his pronunciation of Kolo. :cuckoo: Worse than Lennon with "Browny" :lol:

Was interesting listening to Sviatchenko wax lyrical about how much fitter and better organised the squad are this season.

It struck me that we're going into a really huge game tomorrow night with virtually no injuries in the squad, and certainly all of our 'first team' players are fit. Of course, there's an element of luck to injuries and anything can happen in a game scenario, but it feels like a long time since that's been the case. I don't know enough about what went on behind the scenes the last two years and what Brendan has changed, but it is certainly noticable in Scott Brown that he is infinitely more mobile (no international football undoubtedly helps) and Lustig is no longer a shoe-in to be subbed at the 70 minute mark every game. And the change in James Forrest has been remarked upon after just about every match. Tom Rogic seemingly the only exception, although that seems to be more something in his makeup.

Could just be that things are going so well on the pitch at the moment that it's easy to think that everything else is so much better under Brendan, but when you hear the players talk about it publically - and I don't think I'm wrong in saying that Erik isn't the first to mention it? - there must be something in it.

There was a good interview on celtic tv with Glen Driscoll with regards to injuries, training fitness etc

I was for Moyes as well. I've never been happier to been wrong in my life. All the problems and negativity about and surrounding the club that I've felt over the past several years have gone with one appointment. BRFA.

Apart from all the other things he has done to improve the team's performance, there's one thing that really impressed me about BR, and that was how quickly he recognised and corrected his mistake in gambling that De Vries would be a better option than Gordon. I can think of quite a few managers who would have stubbornly stuck to their egotistical guns, but Brendan had no problem acknowledging that it wasn't working and stepped in quickly before any real damage was done.

The mans given me my lust for us back. We all love the club, that was still there, but for a fair few years it has felt like going through the motions. Not much joy.

Now I am looking forward to games for days before them. Butterflies and nerves back with a bang and its a ln absolute joy watching us with a guy in charge whose all there and then some :)
