Come on don't make this easy.. So Suarez a top player.. signed for you when? 2011? Were you in the CL? Nope? likely to qualify? nope (you weren't even top half when he signed)? Did he sign for top money? nope?

Fair enough, you may think we will struggle, but so far your examples have been poor and easily discredited by the facts.

Players sign for the likes of Man U and Liverpool because of history.. And they know they will likely get CL football.

Look at this season? Many have forgotten we had the best away record in the league. There wasn't that much wrong, because Moyes can set a team up to be attacked.. at home he couldn't, and we struggled.

But I think we'll qualify next season.

I agree re VG I think he's too old but he's managed pretty recently and has done well with Holland so far..

I wouldnt rule out Klopp.. they aren't going to encourage approaches, not whilst on long contracts.
Iain,

I haven't always agreed with every word you have uttered about fell running over the years but I do consider you to be the most perceptive commentator on football on the Forum: maybe because by playing the game you really understand it, and you appear to actually think about the game.

Regards,

Graham
