Why is it only a two year contract?

 

[Bobby Sands]

im not sure really. what length was Mourinho's contract with them?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^ 4 years I think.

2 years just seemed odd to me.

 

[Bobby Sands]

yea it does. not sure why. i can see him back at Liverpool in future tbh. hope things go well for him at Inter though

 

[stefanwzyga]

So Inter confirm Rafa as their new manager

and on his departure from Liverpool he donated £96,000 to the Hillsborough group.

great guy. hope things work out well for him at Inter.

Rafa is a class act. I like the guys style.

 

[hizzle?]

I'm glad that he left. I don't care about what happens with him in the future.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

West Ham are about to sign Riquelme. :|

 

[THEV1LL4N]

They've already signed Thomas Hitzlsperger.

Those will be two really good signings for them. Interesting...

 

[Duke]

Yes, interesting indeed.

 

[Bobby Sands]

remember Lyrical Start?

is a shame if he is gone imo.

Hodgson takes over as Liverpool manager

The 62-year-old Englishman, who led Fulham to the Europa League final last season, takes over a club that finished seventh in the Premier League and failed to qualify for this season's Champions League. Benitez left Liverpool after six seasons to replace Jose Mourinho at European champion Inter Milan. Mourinho took over Real Madrid.

Liverpool, heavily in debt and its plans for a new stadium stalled, has been put up for sale by owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr., who bought the club in 2007.

"This is the biggest job in club football, and I'm honored to be taking on the role of manager of Britain's most successful football club," Hodgson was quoted as saying on Liverpool's website.

Hodgson was hired by Fulham to replace Lawrie Sanchez in December 2007 and saved the Cottagers from relegation. He then guided the west London club to an all-time best seventh place a season later.

Helped by American midfielder Clint Dempsey, Fulham reached the second major final in the club's 131-year history this year, losing 2-1 to Atletico Madrid. The Cottagers finished 12th in the Premier League.

In a 34-year coaching career, Hodgson has had spells in England, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and Italy, where he twice was in charge of Inter (1995-97 and 1999).

Hodgson also has coached Finland (2006-7), the United Arab Emirates (2002-4) and Switzerland (1992-95), which he guided to the second round of the 1994 World Cup in the United States. He has been a technical adviser to the Union of European Football Associations.

After spells with Fulham and Blackburn (1997-98), Liverpool will be his first stint at big four club in his own country.

Benitez managed Liverpool to the 2005 Champions League title in his first season but failed to win the English league, last captured by Liverpool in 1990. Manchester United has equaled Liverpool's record of 18 league titles.

Last season's finish was Liverpool's worst in 11 years.

Fulham said Ray Lewington temporarily will be in charge until a successor is announced.

I didn't think he'd leave Fulham.

Roy has his work cut out for him.

i am confident that he can do well.

Rumours that rauol moat is hiding in evertons trophy room have been dismissed. In a statement the club chairman said. "that's complete nonsense, there's no such fucking place"

Baha. Newcastle United; 52,000 mugs but no cups.

 

[Bobby Sands]

this is just cringe worthy. the cunt never heard of Yaya Toure and David Silva yet he is on a show talking about football. it would make you sick to see cunts like this, and there are so many of them in England, who are paid money for talking about football, yet they have not got a clue. ignorant to football outside of England and then they are so shocked when England get hammered at the World Cup.

anyway this Man City fan pretty much owns him although Yaya Toure was not with Barcelona when they won the Champions League in 2006:

 

[Bobby Sands]

that guy is actually a football journalist. wow. these are the kind of fuckers that give their "expert" opinion on football.

 

[hizzle?]

I'm also annoyed with so called analysts who suck balls and don,t know shit.

When the announcers asked him "Why do you take it so personally?", a great answer would have been "While millions of Englishmen are losing their jobs in this recession, you are getting payed 10 times their usual salaries and you are not even able to do your job properly."

I hate it when stand-managers get payed to analyze sports.

^^look at this video from Brian Clough. its from the 80's i think and back then he was talking about over saturation of football and pundits. imagine what he would think now:

 

[tHuG $TyLe]
