Excellent read! I am in exactly the same position that you want to forgive some of uncle roy's tactical and selection misgivings because "he is a nice bloke" and therefore feel he deserves more time to turn things around... however it's becoming more and more obvious that this slump isn't going to correct itself and unfortunately the finger can only be pointed at uncle woy. So I totally agree that Hodgson should not be the Liverpool manager, not because he lacks managerial experience or because I think he is rubbish, but simply because his experience just hasn't equipped him for what is needed as a Liverpool manager unfortunately.

If anything did happen to the club wouldn't RBS have some kind of floating charge on the assets of the business - so they would have the say over who was appointed as administrator and also be first in the queue to receive any money from the sale of the business assets? So in that particular scenario they get to keep all of the interest money they have earnt so far and have the comforting knowledge that they would make back a pretty decent chunk of their loan too. The risk on their part looks fairly minimal it would seem.

That's no worse than Real's negotiating technique! Real: 27m for Alonso? Naaa, think we'll leave it thanks. Real: 24m then? Part of me wishes it was Man City who was in for him, we'd be up to an offer of £50m from them by now!

I was listening to City Talk the other day and they were talking to a madrid based journalist for the Guardian, and he basically said the same - that Rafa wants Xabi to come out and ask for a transfer, that way the fans won't blame Rafa for the sale etc

Does anyone know when the spanish football league fixtures will be released... or a link to a reliable source etc? Cheers
