Pardew was a good manager for them and they hounded him out of there. They were on MacClaren's back early on too.
A mid table club with the odd good cup run is their level but they expect to be challenging at the top of the table and signing superstars.
I hope Rafa does well for them. As unrealistic as those fans are I'd like to see them finally win a trophy, it's been a long time. Unfortunately for them though I can see them getting relegated and Rafa will be off in the summer. That bunch of players don't have the heart for a relegation scrap and Rafa is no motivational expert. He needs time to build a club up and get his own players in.

25 million pounds bid for Henderson, other papers were linking him with PSG last week.... 25 million pounds, should we snap their hands off if true ?
quite a few papers during the week have confirmed that West Ham want Benteke (although he is their 2nd choice striker), if we could get anything over 20 million pounds for him would you take it

Sell Hendo only if we already have a plan to bring in a real replacement.

A newspaper which we do not mention on this site ever is this morning linking Spurs with a 25 million pounds bid for Henderson, other papers were linking him with PSG last week.... 25 million pounds, should we snap their hands off if true ?
Second thing, quite a few papers during the week have confirmed that West Ham want Benteke (although he is their 2nd choice striker), if we could get anything over 20 million pounds for him would you take it
Potentially close to 50 million pounds for 2 players who are not exactly on top form seems a decent amount of money, plus if the Chinese came in with 15 million for Ballotelli in the summer we would be laughing

I'm guessing we're likely to see Lallana and Allen leave and maybe even Hendo. I think Klopp can see potential in Can so I think he'll be a keeper.
