Quite frankly I really don't care how the manager comes across to the fans, his moods, his attitude or his drivel in the press. It's results on the pitch that count and that is all that matters to me. Yesterday was something like what I would expect from a Liverpool team (although Chelsea where certainly a bit off the pace). If he can bring results on a football front then ram the rest, that's what he's paid to do :idea:


Of course personality matters. Shankly's personality is one of the things that massively endeared him to supporters. Mourinho's personality is a reason many have been against any possibility of him coming here, whilst Roy's ramblings in the press have added further emphasis on his 'annoyance' towards supporters.

Results and performances obviously matter, denying so would be stupid, but the personality of the coach and the way he endears himself to supporters matters a lot, too.

He thought that Torres was going to assault him, so he was just defending himself.

Unfortunately there wasn't any pictures of the Liverpool player being hit by the sniper. Obviously Carragher and Gerrard will be having a word with him today about it.

There are various fools on Talksport suggesting Torres only put in a good performance yesterday quote 'to put himself in the shop window to Chelsea'. Id have thought to be put in a shop window you'd have to perform consistently not just one game against a potential suitor.

Do not take the bait. They simply wind-up fans of popular clubs so they can make money out of them calling telephone numbers that cost 50p per minute.

Would fan's opinions of Hodgson change should he bring home the premier league title??? I think so :idea:

Surely fans care far more about results then the image/personality of the manager, it's a no brainer for me. Whats more, Jose Mourinho is a proven manager at the highest level and I would've loved him at Anfield regardless of his personality.
