It's a very tough contest I'll give you that - did walker have any spectacular draws ?
He only lasted 10 months, did bring Big Dunc to the club and we won the FA Cup after he was sacked then gave him a bonus as it was part of his contract!!!
 
Wasn't given enough time. Simple as that. Panic appointment and then more panic when results didn't go their way. All a bit like Moyes at United

Trust me the dross he served up and his comments about the fans etc he was given too much time. The club was in a mess at ownership/boardroom level and he was there solely so the club could be sold.

He should never have been appointed in the first place especially under the conditions he was under. That said he must've known what he was going into and happily took the ££££££££'s. He had a cushy job at Fulham. He must've only went for the money...

Or maybe he couldn't pass up the chance to Manage Liverpool football club.

Cushy?? Not sure about that keeping a small squad in the PL on a small budget. Despite that got to a European final so he can't be that bad a manager. I was annoyed Liverpool enticed him away as I thought Fulham were on the verge of creating a half decent squad (that's probably a different thread).

Good quick summary

Homer, its not surprising that you will defend Roy, as he was probably your most successful manager of the last 30 years.

However, give me one good reason why he should have been given more time, without the Roy/Fulham blinkers on.

Some managers just dont fit certain clubs, also like Moyes and United.

You can give a manager months or years and they may eventually turn it around, but some dont deserve it as they can make a club perform that badly that the consequences can last years and even a decade.

Did Moyes really not fit Utd?
If he'd been given as much support in the transfer market as LVG maybe he could have finished 4th as well.
 
It may of been the Northampton defeat, or when he said the 2-0 derby defeat was our performance of the season, or the fact he thought Christian Poulsen was a replacement for mascha, or the.... Well you get the jist

i was speechless then, not much has changed
 
I thought he was very badly treated by the board and poorly supported by the squad. Add to that one or two players from the past who stuck the knife in very early. He was a proven manager before he went to L'pool, and has certainly proven his ability since in turning round an aging England squad. He's certainly shown he's a way better manager than Brenda.

Just like Moyes at Utd; hs face didn't fit. Forced out by the board listening to fan power.

Look at the results during his reign and tell me they were good enough? I think at Xmas we were 13/14th
