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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.
