lol no, possession football without going anywhere is your idea of "possession football at its best"?
We need a big name manager. I may sound like I want instant success, but getting a manager like Martinez or Rodgers means we could lose players like Suarez.

AVB isn't that bad but he lost the dressing room to experienced players like Terry and Lampard. I can see the same happening here.
I'm a Rafa fan, and I think he would have done great things if he had 100m to spend when he was here, but I also saw him losing it in his final season and playing into ol Whiskeynose's mind games. Still, couldn't be worse than Rodgers and Martinez.

Guardiola would be a dream but then again we've only really seen him do great things with a great team.

The problem is he won't attract big name players. We might lose Suarez, in addition to Kuyt, Maxi...
Who can we buy to replace these players?

In the end it'll take another 5 years for us to even return to challenging for fourth spot. Even that is not guaranteed as we haven't seen Rodgers at the top level.

Stoke City always manages to beat us. That proves nothing.

We don't look like we are miles behind. We ARE miles behind them. Just look at our squad, our marketability.
We have been playing catch up for as long as I can remember.

To be fair it's the journalists who are asking the managers. And these managers are still in a job.
What do you think you would say if someone came over to you and asked if you would like to jump over to a competitor? Would you announce to the world that you're interested?

I'd play Aquilani instead of Adam or Downing.
But what do I know?

I'm guessing that's the end of Carragher.
