I'll admit I know very little about managing a football team, but I'd have lost patience with most of them long before now and would have fielded the reserve team for one match, just to show the regulars that they aren't beyond dropping.
He bought 76 players during his reign and was incapable of getting the formula right, going for the 20th defeat of the season on Sunday. More like the players losing patience with him, especially recently with the lack of Juve denials.

Apparently, Tottenham Hotspurs have finished at least fourth in the Premier League. They have broken the so-called sky four, with Liverpool and Aston Villa not making the grade. I'd like to speak for all of the BritishExpats.com community and congratulate them on a wonderful season. Well done, Tottenham Hotspurs. Your success is our success.

Are the only players playing for Liverpool that are pre-Benitez Carragher and Gerrard.?

Hats off to Harry, I dont think too many people would have predicted that at the start of the season, but they have been very good. A personal triumph for Gomes the goaly too after the beating he took at the start of his premiership career, and really satisfying to see so many English players in a successful team too.

Well done Spurs! Well played, and with lots of UK players and home grown talent and a "native" boss!!:thumbup:

It was good to see him get the ice bucket treatment! He seemed to take it on good humour.

That's quite impressive - must be a big stadium if they all look like him.

That's a very old photograph. I've lost a lot of weight since then.

Edit: In the interests of balance, the average crowd figures I was quoting are for home league games only. Liverpool & Chelsea might come out higher if European games were included. There don't seem to have many of those at St. James' last season.
