Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 As I've stated on here before...........The great Liverpool manager Bill Shankley once said "Football is not just a matter of life and death...It's much more important than that" That says it all for me :blue scalf:That quote was tongue in cheek and not to be taken seriously. The families of those who died at Hillsborough probably wouldn't see it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Chelsea in crisis: Is Jose Mourinho to blame for champions' failings? Stamford Bridge has been beset by difficulties this season, but how many of them can be attributed to their under-pressure manager?http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/managers/jose-mourinho/11959580/Chelsea-in-crisis-Is-Jose-Mourinho-to-blame-for-champions-failings.htmlInteresting article.Would like to know if thats true:"POOR RECRUITMENT(...)Yet these are not problems caused by Mourinho; instead, the focus must fall on Michael Emenalo and Marina Granovskaia, who assume overall control of transfers at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho's willful blanking of players such as Rahman and Papy Djilobodji would appear to betray his true feelings."I firmly believe this Gravoskaya lass doesn't know what football is about (and please, it has nothing to do with the fact she is a woman), but according to many reports she is the most powerful character at the moment, she was the one that hired Mourinho back and gave him the contract extension. The contract extention only could come from someone who doesn't know what she is doing at all, If she is also assuming overall control of transers, something is really wrong, despite the sucess last season the truth is the current squad is pretty average, when you consider Cahill, Terry, Ivanovic and Azpilicueta is our "best" back four.

Rhino's Skin 972 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 When he was manager they were unbeatable.........Give credit where it's due mate. Shankley transformed Liverpool from a second division club to European Champions. You and I may not like them but the manager did one hell of a job. Nothing delusional there...just factyou need to check 'facts' LiverpoolFootball League First Division (3): 1963–64, 1965–66, 1972–73FA Cup (2): 1964–65, 1973–74UEFA Cup (1): 1972–73For 15 years plus as manager.....a decent record but not outstanding or certainly unbeatable as you think.It was Bob Paisley who took Liverpool to new heights.like I said....that quote of Shankleys is not to be taken seriously as its a load of bollix.There are far far more important things than football and in our case Chelsea FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 If we dont get european football next year, can he do the simple things.can he do the required youth integration?can he make RLC, baba, zouma, kenedy a permament or an important feature of our team/squad.the likes of oscar, cesc need to be thrown out. mikel, rambo are okay options but we need a strong bench. a bench which can actually be used to be rotated. JT and iva most probably wont get an extension. so our mid and defence both needs an overhaul.our attack has been poor and non-existent. infact we have looked out of ideas. can he gives us an identity. these are the questions we must be thinking about. and right now, i just dont know if he can do what would be required off him.Yes he can.Although if Oscar isn't good enough then neither are Rambo/MikelI think he will bring in Pasalic next year (we brought him as the next Frank, and he is doing well at Monaco, who I believe are in EL right now?) and sell one of our midfielders.Who knows? I honestly believe the club will go without CL football to keep Jose around. Essien19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman60 1,343 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 That quote was tongue in cheek and not to be taken seriously. The families of those who died at Hillsborough probably wouldn't see it that way. That quote was made 20 years before Hillsborough. I might agree with you if it was said 20 years after. How sure are you that at the time it was said tongue in cheek? Liverpool were very passionate about their football back then, and at that time a lot of fans agreed with Shankly's sentiment.As for tongue in cheek........When I posted it here that's exactly what it was supposed to be mate !!!!!

I don't let on to be an expert on Liverpool history, but I do remember seeing them play at the time on many occasions, and they were very good. And at that time, in Liverpool, football was very important to the people.The city was fairly run down with a lot of unemployment, so football was a passion up there. I quoted what Shankly said at the time, whether he said it tongue in cheek is up to you to work out. As for me?? I put up the quote as a "light hearted " comment...So take it as such..Don't take life or comments sooooo seriously......Life's too shortAs for Chelsea ?? I've supported them since 1970, seen us relegated, practically go out of business, get sold for a pound, lose to clubs like Orient, sell our best players season after season to make ends meet, get hammered by Yid fans Birmingham fans Derby fans and the coppers in Coventry on a cold wet Saturday. So after supporting them for 45 years they are a big part of my life and as such are important to me. But do you really think I'm losing any sleep over our current predicament?? Not bloody likely.. It's been a rollercoaster ride and it ain't over yet and I enjoy all the highs.....and the lows too.

bababoom 4,478 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The thing is both Traore and Kennedy showed their worth last night, but i doubt we'll see them again for a while (unless he throws them on out of desperation in the last few minutes to get a goal). The same with RLC, after the Southampton loss Jose said he's going to give him a run of games, but no, RLC only lasted 45 minutes which is funny because he was one of our better players against Aston Villa. Jose doesn't turn to youth when we're winning (too much pressure he says) and he doesn't turn to them when we're losing, so whens the right time?

We are old enough to have seen the interviews at the time. He played up to the camera and everything he said was with a glint in his eye. There was a documentary on British TV a few years ago about Hilsborough where a priest says he cringes at that quote every time he has to say a remembrance mass.

One of these days very soon.....the team is going to muller someone by several goals.....lets hope it Saturday lunchtime Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
