preparing himself for the MUFC job in the summer? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Roy Evans has resigned as director of football of Second Division Swindon.

With Swindon currently 16th in the Second Division and only seven points clear of the relegation zone Evans has left Swindon pretty much as he left Liverpool – a failure
 
If by failure you mean never finishing outside the top 4 then yeah I suppose so.... how many of your managers would fall into that category? <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

So you would say Evans did a good job at LFC?

Why was he sacked if he didn´t fail?
 
Roy Evans does one? <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> What did he have for lunch? ;)


Evans was sacked at Liverpool R A Softlad. After about 5 years at Liverpool he won the Coca-Cola Cup and never finished within the top two which for me is failure at Liverpool, just like the previous 26 years at Manchester United before 1992 could be considered failure.


Was Houllier bought in by Evans himself? <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />
 
I think you'll find Evans resigned Gazza - try checking you facts mate (not your strong point I know). ;)

HE felt that the partnership with Houllier was unworkable, HE refused any other position within Liverpool FC.... nobody pushed him.

He has also left Swindon in a better position that when he arrived and has left as promises have been broken.
 
evans leaving pool is just another example of what a sly bastard Houllier is,
Houllier came in and knew the first 6 months would be stormy so by working "50/50" with evans he couldnt fail,
if they did well it weas because Houllier came in and was the missing link and if not as was the case Evans would have to go,
same thing with Fowler, Houllier shat on him

Evans & Fowler are two individuals who gave their all and loved pool only to be kicked out,

i would hate to see the same happen to say Fergie and Gary Neville, but then again Man Utd are a real club <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
 
<img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> @ Murt.... priceless.
 
Agreed. Fowler and Evans were the heart of the club and have since been replaced with foreigners.

Of course Liverpool have plenty of homegrown talent but the likes of McManaman and Fowler are being replaced by Smicer and Baros <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> .

Also, when Ferguson steps down there is a danger Capello or another foreig coach would come in and flood United with foreigners a la Chelsea or Arsenal.

What hope does English football have?

By the way, what does this 'Director of Football' really mean in context?


Kevin Keegan and Roy Evans have both had roles like this - are they not just Managers? <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> .

There's nothing too say about the shite that yuou post - you haven't got a clue about your own club, let alone mine. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

debate it,

only a person with a low IQ would argue a point by saying

Why should I waste my effort trying to teach you the basics of a situation you clearly have no knowledge or understandiing of... I don't have that much time. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

And that's where you are wrong and all that post deserves is a <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

You know feck all about both situations - Evans admitted he wasn't tactically up to it to the board, they brought in Houllier, Evans was offered the Director of Footy job but wanted the joint managers job - that failed, it had feck all to do with Houllier.

Fowler on the other hand refused to sign a new deal unless he was guaranteed first team footy - there was no way on the form of the last four seasons he was gonna get that. He wanted that guarantee and got it from O'Dreary. Everyone's a winner.

Quite simple - much like yourself... <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

He wanted that guarantee and got it from O'Dreary. Everyone's a winner.bullshit, Fowler wasnt offered a contract, the two bosses didint like him and couldnt care less that he was a god to the fans, Fowler would have stayed if he had have gotten better treatmnent from his peers

next time tell the truth, and shame the devil ;)
 
As I said - I'd be wasting my time by preaching to the clueless...
 
Robbie Fowler's Dad, Robbie (It seems Fowler even stole his dad's name), says Liverpool didn't offer him a new contract.


But I don't believe this as Houllier knows he can not live on 3 strikers. <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

Don't be daft, Softlad would know better than Fowler's Dad..... :p
 
He was asked if he wanted to stay he said not if he wasn't first choice - how simple do you want me to make it for you?

picture it,

GED: "robbie do you want to stay"
Robbie: "not if im not first choice "

were you there fat lad?
nah, your letting your imagination run away with yourself,
your changing your story now from him refusing to sign to now a verbal aggreement that a contract proposal wouldnt even be placed on the board,

face it, the fans nr 1 was fuched out and hes looking good at Leeds, how pool could have don ewith his goals over the last two weeks <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

If it wasn't true, nothing at all really instead of writting a letter to the newspaper......
