Press Conference

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Frank Lampard Sr. coming in as coach apparently.

[wickedwhispers]

The Special Needs one.

[Millsy]

This actually gives me a bit of confidence and happiness for what I have been considering a big gamble.

[Terminal Boardom]

I prefer "The Chosen One". When's the first game? Bring it on!!!

[The Cube]

Is Rodgers the new Messiah ??

Or just a very naughty boy

Well, if he's been in the wilderness for thirty days and thirty nights, as suggested earlier, then it seems he's 75% of the way to the starting point.

What a boring man, boring press conference and not a very good speaker, needed about half an hour to answer each question.

[Millsy]

Well said. ["he's too new to management"]

Least he has the gift of the gab though.

Would make a good taxi driver.

are you the new royalee??!!

5 years to go of 2WW1WC spouting off about him. Brilliant!

Nah, it's even easier and more brainless throwing relentless unwitty one-liners than I thought. I'll do it for a little while to express some half hearted confusion over the appointment (which is hopefully unfounded) but then I'll grow up.

Unlike others (no names mentioned) I don't get off on winding people up and I have enough intellectual security and strength of character to change my opinion based on facts as things progress and admit to having been wrong, if warranted. I don't want to be an arrogant laughing stock with a stiff upper lip having been proven horribly wrong for 5 years like some on people on here.

Even if that doesn't happen it's not big or clever to act like a kid who didn't get his own way and you can be sure I'll defend the man BR because a) he's one of us now, b) I'm sure he'll try his hardest, and c) if he's good enough for the Madman he's good enough for me!

I still have twelve reasons to be disappointed with the 27-game wonder though.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

More passion in one press conference than 5 and a half years of Coppell's ones. Love it!!

LOLZ, 'I'll admit I'm wrong' - except if it has anything to do with Coppell or anything you feel bitter about. I'd much rather have a young exciting new manager with a good record recommended by the best in the world rather than someone who's proven himself to be an average manager for 20 years. But hey, at least you know you're getting mediocrity with Coppell. Pardew and McGhee were rubbish because they hadn't managed for years and years...

Sorry, are you talking about 2ww1wc or yourself there?

[Royalee]

2ww&1wc

[Cookie]

He talks the right talk, but essentially he's still cutting his managerial teeth.

[loyalroyal4life]

can someone please confirm, sir john said that we lose parachute payments this season, i thought this was final year we have them?

We lose them at the end of this season - so we do have them this year, and it is the final year of them, but we do lose them after this season.

Whilst personally don't really mind how a manager etc sounds in a press conference/interview because its on the pitch that counts I do remember Rodgers coming in and sounding a little dull and maybe lacking in PR confidence to start but clearly improved as time went on..talking a good game clearly and like with us you will hope he can transfer that onto the pitch with motivating the players.

Good luck with a new manager horns. Mackay?

[Forbury Lion]

I know he's Northern Irish but why does he sound Scottish?

Probably has some scotch in him..... about half a bottle, just for dutch courage..... which actually wouldn't make sense as he would have sounded a bit Dutch as well, which clearly he didn't.

Probably but a few names been linked although we won't pay out much compensation and well is not an attractive job in terms of spending power.

[Ian Royal]

Saw Hessanthyler (sp?) was interested on the Beeb. He did alright with Gillingham(?) as a player manager didn't he?

Sort of guy you need? Determined and organised rather than pretty or hoofy?
