O Neill, Houllier and McLeish weren’t up to it in the eyes of Chairman, Lerner.
At the same time,. he’s not exactly been forthcoming with the cash to invest in the squad.
Booby – don’t count on the loyalty factor !
If I were Bobby, and got assurances from Whelan that we would invest, such that top 10 was a realistic prospect, then I would give it a go next season to prove my ability to take the team to another level (over 10 m) and wait for the right ‘big club’ opportunity to come along.
If Liverpool don’t come knocking this summer, Redknapp (for example) is out of contract at Tottenham in 12m, Wenger, Arsenal, out in 24m.
