some new manager could do quite well with £60mn ( milner £30mn and young £30mn ? ) bring some new blood in
unless learner wants to bring up the drawbridge settle in for the long term and pay off a few debts

ireland plus a good wedge of cash wouldn't be a bad call
i think he's a good player

David O'Leary anyone?

Technically he's very good. But his head is full of tumbleweeds.

I rate Ireland when he's not lying about his nan dying.

He's better than Reo Coker and Sidwell put together.

Curbishly has been installed as favourite at 3/1!!!

Bilic at 6/1 might be worth a punt.

That'd be right up Curbishley's street I reckon

O'Neill to Man city next then?

Nigel Mediocre really was only good for one season. Watching him and Marlon Harewood as well as Anton (duh) Ferdinand on the same pitch was agony sometimes. Glad they all went.

So you can watch your team battle relegation every season?

Poulsen is shit btw. Couldn't get in a Juve team that had Melo (cack) and Sissoko (who?..exactly) in front of him.

yeah that's pretty much my thinking... I can only assume Woy has something up his sleeve or he's been bought to make up the numbers?

If moustaches = points, Newcastle could be in with a shout this year...

O'Neil likes throwing his toys out the pram.

They need to get Keegan in and fast

bang on mike. fast turning into Keegan if he's not careful. managers who run because there is no money or the owners who are probably going to be around a lot longer actually have a say in matters, are not being realistic. obviously I say all of that with no knowledge at all as to why MON left ! ha

The usual suspects will throw their hats into the ring

Errikson
Jol
Southgate

Barton's looking more and more like Begbie.

everyday sucks when you are a villain

Having to sell all you best players - negative times

Barry, Milner, Young - Lerner given up on a champions league spot? cashing in then saying cheerio perhaps? O'Neill simply had enough..

As a Liverpool fan Im very excited about the coming season... Joe Cole, Roy Hodgson's experience, Torres, Gerrard staying put, even pacman Javier Mashcerano... Great times - back in the champions league for next season

Yep. Welcome

Dark, dark times.

5 days to go...fucking fucker.

From the Guardian article

Villa posted a record pre-tax loss of £46m for the 2008-09 season as the wage bill during that period climbed to £71m, up 42% on the previous 12 months. Last season's accounts are expected to be even worse.

Ouch.

I rate Ireland when he's not lying about his nan dying.

you spent ages rhyming that didn't you?

Rhymes better if you say it in an Irish accent in your head.
