That must mean you haven't read the thread mate. I know it's a pain, but unless you do you will continue to make silly statements like that one.
It's absolutely understandable to not like the bloke, but to put all his success down to money or luck with taking over top players is simply miles off when you look at it. If you read from about page four onwards, you'll see what I mean. In the meantime, could I request that we don't smother the thread with one liners, I've put a wee bit of time into the research.
You said it yourself, really - 2 signings. If 2 signings are enough to make a team champions, then the other 9 must be there or there abouts already.
Giving a player as able as Deco a chance to shine isn't really a masterstroke, if you work from your own premise that Gerrard would have been World Class no matter who became the gaffer in 2004...
Souness not spotting it was probably more to do with his ineptitude than Moris' ability.
