I was interested (Otta) in the Suarez insight into how a manager manages and improves players.

I was interested in how this sits with those who have given so much credit for Liverpool's near miss to Suarez, whilst Suarez now gives much of the credit for his development to Rodgers.

Alternatively a cynic might argue that he didn't think he could cut in the premier league, and jumped ship as soon as he could. The Premier league will be all the poorer for the lack of his wonderful philosophical musings.

Yes, if there was this 'transfer committee' he would've been part of it, but your initial post implied they were his signings alone,whereas the reality may be that he didn't want certain players but had to bow down to the majority decision...

Agreed RD - Ronny Deila at Celtic, was quoted as saying "I said yes to every signing" - that's a far cry from being in any way in control of signings.


Rodgers has already said Lawell and Desmond have supported him on transfer policy - I'm guessing he feels slightly stung by the Liverpool experience and it was an important part of the Celtic discussions that he will have some autonomy. I hope so anyway - there wont be a lot of money, so he needs to spend it wisely.


Having said that if I was the Liverpool money man I'd want to have control over where my huge amount of money was going.

Mick Mack, I was one of the Liverpool fans that initially said "it can't all be down to Suarez", but it became more and more obvious that it was Suarez who had gotten the best out of Sterling and others.


But yes, I can totally believe that he helped Suarez with his game, and Steven Gerrard once said Rogers was the best man manager he'd worked with and he wished he could have worked with him earlier.


So I'd say a good signing.

Joey Barton will be 34 in September. I had no idea. Not too old obviously but given that I though Scott Brown was getting old (he turns out to be about to turn only 31) Barton is defo getting on a bit.

Roy Keane bossed the Rangers midfield at age 34, but Joey's no Roy Keane (red cards part)

He did? In all 10 games he played for them?

Did you watch the entire interview? Explains pretty well why he didn't fancy another shot in the premiership.

I tried to, but someone else owns my image rights. My super agent is dealing with it now as I write...

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
