Kenny Dalglish.

But he's already on the board right? Why not have him as Director of Football and give a young manager the chance?

Dalglish. He really wanted the job but they told him not to even bother applying because they didn't want him. He works in the youth academy and is club ambassador as well.

I agree they are deluded, they looked down their nose at Roy and thought he wasn't big enough to manage their club. Poor guy didn't stand a chance.

Funny thing is Mourinho has said on record that he wouldn't touch Liverpool with a barge pole, said he'd rather manage Everton or Villa or a club like that. Reckons Liverpool is cursed or something

Where did you hear that from?

Originally from my mate who knows someone that works at Melwood (Liverpool's training ground) but it's been all over the internet today.

Carragher off injured, never thought I'd say this but it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

And David Ngog vs Cannavaro, Ngog's going to score tonight and prove himself as a top class striker

rafa benitez killed liverpool,plus no money to spend.

Benitez was a good manager, he just had one bad season. If he was still with us now we wouldn't be so low in the league.

Rooney has just signed a new 5 year contract keeping him at Utd until 2015.

Looks like all that bull**** about wanting to leave was just to secure better terms for himself. Fair play I suppose. Still a gob****e though.

[MissKittyFantastico]

He's made Fergie look like a fool, never thought I would see the great man have to bow and scrape to keep a player, people are right when they say the players and agents hold too much power these days. Also shows what a dire situation United are in, no money for new world class players (which is apparently why Rooney wanted to leave, funny what a difference being offered a shed load more money makes though eh?) mahoosive debts, they're definitely on the slide.

I'm just relieved it's all over tbh but Fergie deffo has pulled off a masterstroke to end this farce quick enough for everyone.

[setanta]

What an absolute farce.

[Mystic Mock]

rooney and fergie probably came up with this story together and then in the last miniute rooney signs.

[alc09]

Well said, Ian Holloway. I've just watched that press conference and every word of it's true, he's got it spot on and brought the whole thing back down to reality.

It's amazing how, at that level, it's all about player power. It's not about the club, the fans or the passion. How can you, like Holloway, said sign a three or four year deal and, a year or two in, decide that you're ****ing off? How?

Wayne Rooney is a silly, overrated player with no class who's become a spoilt, obnoxious **** and he's being horribly, horribly advised.

No doubt the United 'fans' will change their opinion from him being a useless scouse **** to being a top quality player again.

[setanta]

and so what happens to the statement Rooney made a few days ago? Is that suddenly forgotten about? Such an absolute joke.

[GiRTh]

His agent must have engineered it. Even though I agree with Holloway you have to ask how Alex Ferguson, of all people, was out manoeuvred like this. Ten years ago Rooney would have already been out the door.

[MissKittyFantastico]

The difference is 10 years ago, United weren't in the **** like they are now financially, they weren't relying so heavily on two players in Giggs and Scholes who are surely in their swansong season or near to it, if Rooney was sold would Fergie even see a decent chunk of the money for new players or would it all go towards paying off some of the massive debts they have? Fergie's hands were tied and Rooney being the disloyal little gob****e that he is, has just played a blinder. It's everything that's wrong with the game today.

The Man U fans are so fickle, they'll go from some of them lying in wait for him outside his house ready to lynch him, to chanting his name like the dumb sheep they are again next time he plays. He's played the whole lot of them like fools.

[Locke.]

Are Utd fans going to forgive him?

[setanta]

Not sure David. The next match at Old Trafford with him playing will be very interesting.

although he can sign for birmingham once the 5 year contract ends at united.

So Ashley Young calls off contract talks for now, stresses he is happy at Villa but will City come in for an offer to make it a hat trick of Villa players they have signed?.
