A manager with a big enough name to appease the fans and someone they didn't even have to pay any compensation for. <br /><br />Combine that 6 million with the 3 million handed out to Rick Parry last year and that is one tight ship Pool are running at boardroom level. And now King Kenny is returning... christ. I only hope he brings in Barnsey for comedy value.JJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-55065818985980018712010-06-11T10:00:31.564+00:002010-06-11T10:00:31.564+00:00I did'nt hate Benitez at all really.He may hav...I did'nt hate Benitez at all really.He may have been poor in general in the transfer market, but how the fuck he won the European cup with that team in 2005stands up as one of the greatest managerial achievments of all time (notwithstanding the fact that he fucked up his selection totally by including Mr.H Kewell from the start!). I think his exit was fairly dignified, in fairness tho,6 mill in your back pocket will buy you lots of dignity!! I think he'll be missed in English football, not least cos he got up fat Sam Allardyce's nose on a regular basis, not a bad thing I'm sure you'll agree.<br />LUHG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-61469310153421756082010-06-03T22:43:58.655+00:002010-06-03T22:43:58.655+00:00While I don't want to go down the road of the ...While I don't want to go down the road of the 'rafa net spend' argument (F365's forum is covered in it), Whelan's public utterances for well over three years now made it seem as if rafa had chelsea and man city's money combined to spend over that period. He mentioned '£250 million spent' so often you'd swear it was tattooed on the inside of his eyelids (along with the words 'for me', which he starts every sentence with).<br /><br />Giles, as ever, had a far more measured approach. One that's hard, in fact impossible, to argue with. Whatever the overall spend, net spend or any other type of spend, for the amount of players that have come and gone there should have been a far better depth and balance to the squad last season. Plus a far higher ratio of homegrown players. <br /><br />On a separate note, I heard this evening from a very reliable source that Gerrard told John O'Shea weeks back that all the club were trying to do was find a way to get rid of Rafa asap. Nice way of doing business Stevie. Himself and Raul should have a lot in common next season.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668680159176712374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-62816508952928475732010-06-03T21:37:16.285+00:002010-06-03T21:37:16.285+00:00why whelan?why whelan?Jamie Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750949608447131358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-26263071016168365522010-06-03T21:15:58.392+00:002010-06-03T21:15:58.392+00:00I think we'd all like to see John Barnes and P...I think we'd all like to see John Barnes and Phil Thompson step inUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356240808331125666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543972138628758545.post-27799529647729583482010-06-03T21:09:51.749+00:002010-06-03T21:09:51.749+00:00Phil Brown is being called in from gardening leave...Phil Brown is being called in from gardening leave at Hull.
