We'll just have to wait and see. They've been up for sale before and the whole set-up is a basket case, not forgetting they're in the middle of a major HMRC probe.

Would be absolutely flabbergasted if Ancelotti ever came to manage Everton. But if he did come to us in the summer it will mean we'd stayed up!

He isn't coming here. If he had any interest in us there is no good reason for him not to start work straight away. He wants to wait until the summer as he reckons the super-club merry go round will start again and he would be in with a chance of one of those jobs. We'd be extremely foolish to wait until the summer on the slim hope that Ancelotti might suddenly decide he wants to live in Liverpool.

Despite some of the comments on here, this squad isn't as bad as our position suggests. With Coleman, Barkley and Bolasie back, and a new striker in the Jan window we will son start climbing the table. Some good managers will be looking at our squad and believing they can do something with them. Just hope the Board make the right call...

This is my concern too. Through mis management we're stuck with this squad. The obvious thing now is to stop conceding first and foremost. But the personnel we have doesn't fill me with confidence we can do that. In what world did Koeman (and Walsh) think that Keane and Martina was enough to bolster an ageing backiline?? Outrageous thinking.

I don't think they did. Koeman was clear well before the window closed that we needed a new LCB. A fully-fit and confident Keane alongside someone of similar quality would make a huge difference to this defence, we just didn't get someone in to fill that position, for whatever reason.

We need a bit of luck, to get ahead in a game and keep the lead. It would be a huge shot in the arm and could make a big difference.

There's no guarantees that any of these three will come back as the players they were ....we can only hope that they do !
 
We don't have the time to be messing about. games come thick and fast between now and Christmas. We can't wait for someone who doesn't know the league or the players to take 6 weeks to get to know it all. I don't know whether Dyche is a long term option, and he isn't going to move unless that's the case. I'd offer Alladyce a chunk of change to take it until the end of the season, with money based on performance, and reassess in the summer.

For me Unsworth's naivety showed yesterday in playing two slow defenders in a high line against Vardy and Mahrez. We need to be solid and much harder to beat.

End of the day the name or the appearance isn't important right now, staying in the league is.

We lost to an inspired piece of football from Gray and a fluke goal.......The Lennon penalty, that wasn't given, could have made a huge difference to the final result .
 
Hmm - and people start to realise that maybe it wasn't Ronald Koeman that was the problem....

No doubt a few more loses and Unsworth will be the new problem. Maybe it's actually the players we have on the pitch??

Ageing center backs and no striker - which of course Koeman wanted to correct but, whilst we landed a lot of players in the transfer window we didn't get all of them. And that's the problem

The board bottled it by sacking Koeman - should have weathered the storm...

Well he couldnt inspire anyone and he had to be axed anyways ...no matter what your opinion about him was.

I think it's a lot of people's understanding / or rather lack of understanding of the factors at play here that's the problem - the manager bears the whole brunt but actually it's a lot more complex than that

The main drivers for our current predicament are:

- Trying to execute a complete squad overhaul in one transfer window. Not a bad effort but fell a bit short. Will take 1-2 more windows to rectify
- Foreign players take time to adapt
- Being back in Europe - extra games and qualifying games pre season
- Freakishly difficult run of opening fixtures
- Koeman's tactics and man management?? Not so sure this is the biggest factor
- Negative / short termist outlook from the fan base piling on additional pressure to the whole club - definitely.....

I agree we need some luck. Well actually, a lot of luck. And whilst the hope (of most of us) was we'd get that left sided defender to partner Keane, the fact is we didn't get one in.

That the process of being taken over by Staveley and the group she represents which haven't actually made a bid yet mate?

Bet you they don't take over Newcastle
