      I like BR, but he does seem to be stuck in an endless loop of "look how brilliant I am".

      Houllier was much more down to earth, at least in public.
      His media interviews were a bit off though at times.

      Was funny with Rodgers, quite early on I noticed if we played poorly, he'd describe us as "we" in his post match interviews (We didn't do this, we didn't do that)

      Whereas if we played well, it would be "I" (I wanted us to do this, I changed that)

      Good shout that.

      I wondered if I was imagining it at one point, but it's definitely something he did.

      Aren't we glad we've got Jürgen? If we don't deliver, it's him. If we do, it's the players. Wow! That's a huge lesson on management.

      Ged has his place in our history. Fans by and large don't disrespect him, I certainly don't. Said my piece on other sites on numerous occasions, debated him for hours on end. Good kind man in many ways. I think he knows we respect him, he did his best and did achieve a lot of success. I not going to dwell on the negatives of his time here. Hope he's keeping well.
