Hodgson was sacked after 10 wins in 20 games..

Kenny has 10 wins from 27 this season..

Thoughts?


--------------------

My thoughts are that you are full of $hit and need to check your stats again.

Yeah, those are the actual stats.. Why would I make it up, only wanted to see what the fans thought, obviously that was too hard for you.

Apologies had wrong season up, but on rechecking.. Woy and Kennys win percentage in comparison is 37% each interestingly.

Hodgson in the league

Played 20.
Won 7
Drawn 4
Lost 9

So answer your own question...why would you make it up?

7 out of 20 is not 37%

Why would you make it up?

"as long as he came back more attack minded"



we were the highest scorers in the Prem and in Europe one of Rafas seasons in charge!!

"The boards main view on purchases is aimed at younger potential up and coming players. Does this fit the Rafa mould? I don't think so"

Mascherano, Alonso, Torres, Agger, Lucas, Skrtle, Reina. All in their early 20's when they joined Liverpool, all became great players, well Torres did for a time and most of them had not made a name for themselves at the time we had signed them except maybe Torres. Another category where it is easily Rafa>Kenny.

Rafa had a plan too...it was he who set up our Academy..lauded by Kenny!

God i miss Rafa but still love Kenny

>>we were the highest scorers in the Prem and in Europe one of Rafas seasons in charge!!

you're wrong

we were the highest scorers in all comps one year

the next year we were the highest scorers in the league

stop understating it

Those saying rafa wouldnt fit in with the current structure are idiots,

Its well documented that rafa loved statistics, he used them for all his major purchases, and lets face it, its his bigger purchases that worked for us, alonso, masch, torres to name but three.

But it also worked with other players, (buying cheap undervalued players and selling them for a profit) Bellamy, we made profit on and used to fund the torres move, crouchie we made a profit on, arbeloa, voronin (even though he was utter utter rubbish) Kyrgiakos made a profit,

And thats not even taking amortization into account, which would see EVERY one of rafas players turn us a profit, bar perhaps aquilani, (although that depends on how much we have been paid so far for loans, and the final amount we paid for him)

Rafa loved statistics, so does commolli, that aspect would work,

Another major principle of moneyball is overspending in a position in which you are lacking, and using cheaper players around them, Rafa did this constantly, we were weak in DM so he went and bought mascherano, we lacked goals up front so he went and bought torres, we lost alonso so he spent big money on aquilani (who enevr got a chance)

This is all mired in the ethos of moneyball, and is based purely on my observations

Rafa WOULD fit the new owners, he also set up the academy and for that alone he will go down in history as one of our greats
