Anelka the manager

[dicko1969]

Any worse possible manager ever in football?

For Moe, thats the more worstest ever

Wish we'd re-signed him.

Speaking of resigning though....

How different could the last 10ish years have been if we had signed him and not Diouf...

Literally is the 'one that got away' in a massive way.

He wanted £60k a week. We wanted to pay £35k. Think the fee was £15m which we were happy to pay. It was the high wages Houillier / LFc wasnt prepared to pay.

Anelka plc (ie his brothers) manufactured a move every 2 years or so.

The Chinese club he is playing for?

His nomadic nature means he may only have been here a couple of seasons. Houllier might have stayed in his job longer and Rafa would never have won us number 5. Then again Houllier might have won us number 19 with him in the team, you never know. Still, I prefer not to look back.
