I think Steven Gerrard is demoralised, but I still think he’s got to remain true, otherwise … I don’t know where he goes after Liverpool. Rafael Benitez doesn’t seem to like people getting any praise and he doesn’t seem to like flair. I want him to be gone. I think Harry Redknapp would have won the league. And if Alex Ferguson had been in charge of the players we had in the ‘90s – AND in the last five years – we would have walked everything. To me, Benitez seems like a headmaster who doesn’t know his students well enough. I think he’s in the wrong school. It’s as if he’s come in and thought he could absorb the history, culture and character of the club. But places like Anfield and Liverpool have a wit – and I don’t think he understands the soddin’ wit.
If Fernando Torres ends up going because we had a crap season he won’t be the man we thought he was. To be fair to Benitez, he spotted him and made him into maybe the best striker in the world.

Ej sikker på hvor skarp – eller ædruelig Big Mac er. Men vi deler hans frustrationer. Vi deler hans vrede. Vi dele hans bekymring.
Det bliver en lang sommer på rygtebørsen. Og et utopisk håb om et farvel til amerikanere, gæld, renter og tristesse.
For et års tid siden eller mere var flere her på siden, der ellevilde med dem her. Er de helt færdige?

Som værende United hæfter jeg mig naturligvis mest ved kommentaren om Sir Alex. Men enig – pilen peger mod Rafa, og jeg ser gerne Liverpool tilbage, hvor de hører til – i toppen af UK og Europa

Ved ikke hvor skarp han er her, men om ikke andet understreger hans frustrations illoyalitet, at det ikke kun er spillere, træner, senior officials og ejere som er fed up med situationens stilstand; tilhængerne er det sgu’ også.
Skarpt set af Hr. McCulloch endnu en gang. Findes interviewet i en længere udgave nogensteds?
