his success was with beale and critchley doing the coaching.
Once they left he was clueless

Exactly. The Villa players hated him by the end as well.

Even his success at Rangers wasn't all that. Yes, he won the league, but he was up against Neil Lennon's Celtic, and lost in the cups to St Mirren and St Johnstone. Even Van Bronckhorst got further in the Euorpa league the following season.

Corberan is relatively experienced compared to the likes of Gerrard and Parker. He's punched above his weight at Huddersfield, and he did a great job at one of the biggest clubs in the league in West Brom. He isn't Bielsa, but that's good. His teams are fit, solid and hard to beat, and keep the ball really well, and attack with pace.

I'd want Rodgers ideally, but realistically, Corberan is the smart choice.

he is much more pragmatic than bielsa ever was.
in a bar in krakow earlier with some leeds fans and yet to meet anyone who wants gerrard

Gone a bit quiet on the takeover… can’t see it being done by end of the week at this rate.. hope to be proved wrong

The EFL have to do their fit and proper owners test on all the directors. Knowing the EFL, it won't be done quickly.

The only reason you would want Gerrard for me is that he has a knack of being able to get hold of ex-Liverpool players and bigger names - cant see that counting for anything when they have to drop into the championship.

Hmmm would have thought it would be quite easily done seeing as they've been on board in a significant way for 3 years already.. clock is ticking.. best players will be getting tapped up.. Adams Gnonto Summerville Rodrigo etc

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:12 am  

Best players will have been tapped up months ago mate

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:21 am  

Let`s face it if there`s an easy way or a hard way to do things at ER we will always do it the hard way.
Why should we expect anything different this time?
