When LFC played that badly with Roy it was because we had rubbish players, Chelsea have class all over the park. I can't believe it's all down who the manager is.

Did the Clattenberg saga effect things?
So after all this time you're finally admitting that it wasn't Roy who was bad but it was because he inherited a crap side from the mad spaniard?

And, just so we can compare apples with apples, how much money did Woy spend and how much did the King spend?

Net or gross. :wink:

We were flirting with relegation with Roy, playing shit football and going backwards.

Kenny united the whole club, and won us a trophy and got us to another final.

Roy was fucking awful. Anyone that disagrees with that is completely retarded.

Roy was bottle of shiraz awful. Anyone that disagrees with that is completely retarded.
Yet, with virtually zero money, he managed to acheive roughly the same results as KK and BR? Had they given Woy $50m to spend, you'd have been in at least 8th or 9th :wink:

I mean, just look at the results he's getting with England :shock:

That's why he's the England manager :p

I have to say, it's definitely a low point for Chelsea fans. RDM's sacking is up there with Mourinho and Carlo for me.

Successful managers being replaced for essentially no reason.

I seriously doubt Roy could have brought in any good players. He wanted to sign Carlton cole and he did sign poulsen, j.cole and konchesky. He problem would have spent that money on buying duds.

Tony Modra would have been proud of the speccy he took over Ivanovic to score it too.

Face it, Kenny spent something like £115m and Woy spent £24m. Granted, Poulsen and Konchesky are not my idea of good players but they were cheap. KK spent big and got some big turkeys along with a couple of bargains. Suarez was a steal, Enrique was about right, Coates was expensive but could be anything and Adam was overprice. The rest were wildly overpriced or rubbish. Or both.

Look at the mistakes reina has made this season. I'm not talking clean sheets because we've had guys like carrick, fletcher and Valencia in our defence this season. N we all know defenders play a massive part in regards to clean sheets

lol cmon...

Such as?
This will be interesting.

He should have beaten away the first goal at Norwich rather than back into the danger zone, but we were up 3-0 at that stage. Could have and should have done better for Carzola's goal at the near post.

By my count that's two perhaps mistakes all season.

The way people carry it's like he's done an Al-Halsi every second week....
