And all because of Louis Suarez.
He may make it into next season, but if he does, I predict a November sacking.
He's recently gone on record as saying he wants, in the future, to manage in Spain, so you'd think he would put out his 'strongest' side to try create a good impression for any future employers in that country.
Mind you, if his 'strongest' side were to be torn to shreds tonight, he'd have no excuses whatsoever and in typically devious style he's just been saying the Premier League is more important than the Champions' League with the Chelsea game coming up. It would seem he needs to save his 'best' players for that encounter.
With regard to his putative length of tenure at Bin Dipper HQ, he's spent a lot of cash on indifferent players. If the ScouseScum remain a mid-table side come January and he wants to push the boat out in that transfer window, the 'powers that be' in the Anfield Emporium might say, at that juncture, that "enough is enough".
The trouble is that when, he gets sacked, whensoever that may be, there's a distinct danger that Liverfool might actually get someone decent for a change and, in so doing, become a realistic threat to the top teams in the Premier League, City included.
On that basis, I hope he spends many miserable, under-performing years in the land of the ninety-six.
