Using three waves of survey data from fishing villages in Aceh, Indonesia for 2005–09, the paper examines the determinants of local volunteer labor after the tsunami. ... See More + Volunteer labor is the village public sector labor force for maintenance, clean-up and renovation of public capital. While also examining the effects on volunteerism of village destruction and trauma, pre-existing social capital, diversity, and aid delivery, the papers focuses on the effects of democratization. The tsunami and massive international aid effort prompted the settlement of the insurgency movement in Aceh, which had led to suspension of local elections over the prior twenty or more years. Until 2006, village heads who call volunteer days were effectively selected by village elites, who may highly value the public facilities maintained by volunteer labor. With elections, volunteer days fall under the new regime, with democratically elected village heads calling fewer volunteer days, which may appeal more to the typical villager. Identification comes from pseudo-randomized differential timing of elections. See Less -

Aquaculture is widely considered to have the potential to reduce poverty and enhance food security. Historically, aquaculture in Bangladesh was a low-intensity, semi-subsistence activity, and most development interventions promoted small-scale forms of aquaculture in the expectation that adoption of improved management practices by low-income households will increase production of fish for sale and home consumption, thereby reducing poverty and food insecurity. ... See More + This study addresses five research questions about the nature of aquaculture development in Bangladesh. The questions are designed to test central narratives from the literature on aquaculture, poverty, and food security, and to broaden the scope of debate beyond them. The questions are as follows: to what extent do the resource-poor participate in aquaculture?; what is the relationship between participation in aquaculture and landownership and access?; what is the nature and extent of employment associated with different types of aquaculture?; how does aquaculture affect local food security?; and what are the effects of aquaculture development on well-being? An integrated quantitative-qualitative survey was conducted in six communities with contrasting patterns of aquaculture development. Data was collected from a representative cross section of village residents to gain insights into the impacts of aquaculture development at the local level, using a structured household survey (578 respondents) and in-depth interviews (165 informants). This approach generated many findings that contradict or add nuance to conventional understandings of aquaculture development. The most important of these are summarized in terms of poverty, landownership and tenure, employment, food security, well-being, and policy implications. It was concluded that small- and medium-producer-dominated forms of commercial aquaculture were the most significant engines for localized economic growth. See Less -

This is Report 23 of the International Panel of Environmental and Social Experts (POE or the Panel) for the Nam Theun 2 (NT2) Multipurpose Project in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. ... See More + The mission was initially seen as primarily a monitoring and fact-finding one, with two main foci. The first was the resettlement process, assessing progress on the Nakai Plateau in establishing new livelihoods and in handing over to the Government of Laos (GoL) responsibility for execution and completion of resettlement. The requirements of the impressive and comprehensive Concession Agreement (CA) covering the extension or closure of the Resettlement Implementation Period (RIP) will be assessed during a further POE visit in 2015. The second main focus was the status of the Watershed Management and Protection Authority (WMPA). The performance of the WMPA has always been problematical, most particularly in terms of its responsibilities for conservation of the globally important biodiversity of the Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area (NPA). The new team has begun drawing together a Road Map to guide the further evolution of the project's five livelihood pillars and to help create a consensus among stakeholders on how to round out successfully the resettlement process. More flexibility on timelines and the prospect of additional resources add up to an appreciation that fostering development, adopting new livelihood systems and achieving the CA goal of sustainability of livelihoods cannot be achieved in a few months or in some sectors years.

The development objective of the Gansu Rural-Urban Integration Infrastructure Project for China is to provide residents in select areas of Wuwei municipality and Linxia County with expanded all-weather access to rural and urban areas. ... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: apply preferential policies to different social groups differentially. For rural old people (60 years or more), students and the poor (including MLS households, five-guarantee households, etc.), the passenger transport companies may offer preferences, such as reducing bus fares by 10 percent, thereby reducing their traffic expenses effectively, and enabling them to share benefits of social development; improve safety awareness and traffic safety facilities by giving safety knowledge training to bus and truck drivers, setting up deceleration strips, traffic safety warning signs, etc. at key road junctions, and taking speed control measures; constructing high-grade roads to reduce traffic expenses. Local residents have high traffic expenses because the existing road infrastructure is in poor condition that results in high maintenance costs. Therefore, the subproject roads should be constructed and supporting facilities provided in strict accordance with the design standard to reduce traffic expenses; and provide normative sidewalks and non-motor vehicle lanes. Motor and non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians and vehicles should be separated, and road junctions channelized according to the standard for urban trunk roads. Since old people, children and women travel by foot, bicycle and electric cart mainly, it is very necessary to provide non-motor vehicle lanes and sidewalks on broadened roads to separate pedestrians, non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles.

The application for World Bank loan was initiated by Guangan City in the second half of 2011. In the first half of 2012, the proposed project was included in the National Plan for Work Bank Loan Funded Projects for 2013-2015. ... See More + A World Bank mission visited Guangan City to conduct a preparation mission for the proposed project in December 2013. Guangan Project Management Office (GPMO) entrusted a Design Unit to prepare the project feasibility study report for each subproject and a report to Sichuan Development and Reform Commission. In December 2013, the consultants began to prepare the resettlement action plan, environmental assessment report, environmental management plan and social assessment report for the Project. Sichuan Fontal Strategic Consulting Co., Ltd., a consulting agency, is participating in the preparation of the project resettlement action plan under the entrustment of Guangan Project Management Office. The resettlement action plan preparation team conducted a survey of resettled persons in the affected area in December 2013, February 2014 and April 2014 respectively, and carried out extensive public participation and consultation with affected persons and institutions. The Resettlement Action Plan for the Project was complete in May 2014 and a draft provided to the World Bank for review. Upon modification, the revised draft Resettlement Action Plan report was prepared in July 2014. According to World Bank Operational Policy on Involuntary Resettlement (OP4.12), the identity of the resettled persons and the quantities of material objects affected by the Project were determined as of December 26, 2013, after which date any new persons residing in the planned area of the Project will not be deemed as resettled persons and persons to be resettled shall not build new houses, extend or rebuild houses, change the purpose of use of houses and lands, lease out the lands or trade houses. Therefore, changes to the quantities of material objects under the above-described situations will not be approved. See Less -

The Tanzania National Panel Survey is a unique source of knowledge and information on rural Tanzania's economy and living standards. Results show that sixty percent of rural households in Tanzania engage in livestock keeping, earning an average of over 20 percent of their income from livestock. ... See More + From a household livelihood perspective, the importance of poultry emerges clearly alongside that of cattle: the average livestock keeping household holds 44 percent of the total poultry birds in the country. In particular, the poorest 40 percent of rural households rely essentially on small numbers of poultry, with goats becoming more important among the somewhat better-off households, and cattle dominating among the richest 20 percent of rural households. One issue emerging from the analysis is the high degree of concentration in livestock holdings, with the top 20 percent of livestock keepers holding over 80 percent of livestock. Results show that women are relatively disadvantaged in terms of livestock ownership, particularly for cattle: this effect is strongest among poorer households. Where women do own livestock, they appear to be as market oriented as men in selling milk and milk products. However, the sale of live animals is much more frequently handled by men. While the prospects for the livestock sector are promising, there are a number of factors that may constrain households' ability to take advantage of the opportunities offered by a possible growth in the demand for animal food. In particular, the low level of input use and veterinary services, and the high prevalence of reported animal diseases could place restrictions on the extent to which livestock is productive.

Routine livestock data are collected by the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries (MLF) of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar. These datasets serve the purpose of promoting the socio-economic status of the livestock and fisheries communities. ... See More + The first step of data collection is performed at Shehia level, where livestock-related data is collected from livestock keepers.These data are sent every month to the District Authority. MLF then compiles monthly Animal Health and Animal Production Reports, which cover the whole of Zanzibar. When there are disease outbreaks with a risk of spreading, MLF provides human and financial resources to local governments to control the disease. Additional data are collected in these circumstances. The Monthly Animal Health Report targets a variety of information, including: (a) disease outbreaks by type of disease and animal species; (b) number of animals by species affected, treated, or dead; (c) number of vaccinations, disease control; (d) activities in quarantine stations; (e) revenue collection and movement permits; (f) number of staff available by gender and participation in training. The Monthly Animal Production Report includes the following information: (a) number of livestock keepers by gender and animals owned; (b) number of farmer groups by animal species and membership; (c) animals owned by government farms; (d) number of animals sold; (e) number of animals slaughtered; (f) revenue collection. MLF's objective is to ensure regular and good quality information on the livestock sector in Zanzibar, with a focus on animal health and production. However, the quantity and quality of available livestock data is often unsatisfactory for a number of reasons: (a) officers are not trained in data collection/analysis; (b) data are not generated from a sample of farmers selected through statistical procedures; (c) while there is a common data format to compile the monthly reports, there is no common template; and (d) resources are often scarce. MLF has plans to improve the quantity and quality of routine livestock data, recruit more staff, conduct staff training, and establish benchmark data and information systems. See Less -

This paper investigates how the development of the livestock sector can contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction in the continent, with the ultimate objective of identifying major information gaps critical to designing and implementing successful livestock sector policies and investments. ... See More + As a first step, the paper presents an analysis of African consumption of animal-source foods. This is rapidly growing and is forecast to continue doing so. It therefore provides opportunities for demand-led growth. This focus is distinct from the more traditional, production-oriented entry point. To understand opportunities for poverty reduction, this paper reviews both the quantitative and qualitative dimensions of African markets for livestock products, in this case animal-source foods. Second, rather than exploring production and productivity constraints, which are known to a large extent, the paper focuses on the incentives that rural households have to invest in their livestock to overcome those constraints. Indeed, farmers often fail to adopt readily available technologies. To analyze incentives, the paper reviews two intertwined dimensions of households' livestock activities, namely herd and flock size and livestock-derived income. The paper concludes by identifying investment priorities for improving the quantity and quality of livestock information so that decision makers will be better able to formulate and implement investments in the livestock sector that effectively contribute to economic growth and poverty reduction.

Goossen: Ward Doesn't Need Surgery, Fight Rescheduled
By Ryan Maquiñana
Super middleweight champion Andre Ward's promoter Dan Goossen has informed BoxingScene.com that his fighter will not need surgery after injuring his right shoulder in training.
"He had an MRI that revealed no damage and no tears," Goossen said.
Ward (26-0, 14 KOs) was scheduled to fight former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (40-2, 34 KOs) in an HBO-televised event on Jan. 26 at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. An earlier report had the fight being moved to Feb. 23, but Goossen denied that date was set in stone.
"Nothing has been confirmed yet," Goossen said. "We're rescheduling it as we speak, and we're looking at our options right now. I want Santa to bring me a good date."

The Cup Final
Hey isn't it great saying that 'The Cup Final'.....ooooh got goosebumps :-)
Anyway, I'm sad to say that I won't be there and will have to make do with catching a glimpse on TV. I'm already committed to running a marathon this weekend and one every month thereafter until the end of the year. Trying to raise as much as I can for my step niece who has Leukaemia. She is only 7! If any of you chaps are feeling generous you can donate to the general cause at
Back to football, all the best to the boys on Sunday and have a great day any of you fortunate enough to be there.
C'mon you Villa boys !!!!

Dan - congratulations on doing something for such a good cause. My little sister died of leukaemia when I was 11, so I can understand what it means to you. I don't want sympathy or anything - it was many many years ago, but I hope things work out for your niece.
As for the game, I hardly ever get back home nowadays and won't be there either, but it's going to be a battle of (in my opinion) two of the best managers in the game. If MoN gets the tactics right and we have a bit of luck and have one of those days where everyone plays at their best, there's no reason we can't win it. If it comes down to penalties we can put Brad Guzan on and we can't lose :-)
Whatever happens we should be proud to be in another final at last, and thanks to the boss, the team, and especially to all the Villa fans who are at Wembley.
Sing your hearts out for us and I'll be singing and jumping around here!
Come on the Villa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent cause there Dan,
It's TV for me too, will I be rooting for Villa? ooh, tough one.....Anyway...... Good Luck to your lot......does a 2-1 victory sound any good? We'll have to wait and see.

Thought I'd pop in and say hello, and let all you mamas know about the home birth of our baby boy, back on July 4, 2011. After the placenta came out, my midwife saw that we had a VCI. I think it was a good thing that my care provider generally lets the amniotic sac rupture on its own! Although I had had an ultrasound at 18 weeks, it was not detected. Baby boy was born healthy at 9 lbs. 2 oz. HBAC.
best wishes to you all!

Weekend Driver: LaCrossing the Mountains
Classic Laguna highway beckons Buick's flagship
If You Go
Google Map http://goo.gl/map...>
Weekend Driver / Jack Brandais
It was a bright winter day with nothing but lunch on the agenda and a shiny Buick LaCrosse in the driveway. The comfy Buick flagship proved good for piling up the miles and cruising along gently winding country roads.
That added to the numbers 8 and 80, as in east on Interstate 8 and west on Old Highway 80. I-8 is truly one of the most beautiful freeways in the nation after passing Alpine, where its gentle curves and dramatic bridges cross the rugged Laguna Mountains.
Lunch was at the Campo Kumeyaay Nation's Golden Acorn Casino, at the Crestwood Road exit. Once inside, I passed up the slot machines and went straight to the Golden Grill, where the food has always been first rate in the small dining room adjacent to the mini-mart (it's better than it sounds).
Old Highway 80 fronts the casino and after lunch, we headed west, over what was once known as the Bankhead Highway. A century ago, before numbered federal highways, groups pushing for paved routes named them. Promoted as the best all-weather highway through the South and Southwest was the Bankhead Highway. It was named for highway booster U.S. Sen. John Hollis Bankhead (D-Ala.), who was instrumental in getting the first federal highway funding. Today it's our friend, Old Highway 80.
Arguably the best country road in the county for a driver who doesn't like curves, it boasts mostly gentle, banked turns, a legacy of good engineering the last time it was rebuilt, shortly after World War II. The result: a wonderful cruise with very little traffic through beautiful valleys and mountain passes.
In "American Road: The Story of an Epic Transcontinental Journey at the Dawn of the Motor Age," author Pete Davies writes about the 1919 U.S. Army convoy that took 62 days to drive across the mostly unpaved and unmarked roads on the Lincoln Highway from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco. When they reached California, soldiers were amazed at the quality roads, the result of a 1915 highway bond. Old Highway 80 was one of the benefactors of Californians' far-sightedness.
The first of two Old Highway 80 sections fronts Golden Acorn. At 3,000 to 4,000 feet, the highway clings to hills above the valleys and ravines. Look for what appears to be a classic WPA-vintage sign entering the Cleveland National Forest.
Stay on Old Highway 80 by turning left just after crossing the freeway to the mountain town of Pine Valley. This side of the route is much more twisting but the engineers did a similar job in keeping things gentle and easy to handle.
Two 1917-vintage bridges remain from the earliest days. West of Pine Valley and south of the current alignment is the first, now closed to traffic. The other bridge is open and is the last site on today's trip. Just west of Descanso Junction is the Los Terrinitos bridge crossing the Sweetwater River. Follow the sign from Old Highway 80 and drive across a piece of history.
Buick's large LaCrosse sedan was a wonderful ride for a relaxed afternoon drive. With plenty of room and power from the 304 horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 and six-speed automatic, a smooth ride and cushy interior, it has everything that a traditional big sedan should offer. Prices start at $33,135; our top-line Premium test car, with added adaptive cruise control, heads-up display, and Intellilink radio and navigation, was $44,895.
Expansion joints on old highways are frequent; they can make the ride rough and noisy. No such problem in the LaCrosse, as the suspension and insulation soaked up all the harshness.
I wasn't there when the civic boosters from San Diego gathered in 1917 to dedicate these bridges and highway, but there probably was a Buick on hand. Nearly a century later, this Buick cruising along on a sunny day would still make them proud.

Volume 106, Issue 1, July 1999
Analysis and perception of spectral characteristics of amplitude and period fluctuations in normal sustained vowels106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427065View Description Hide Description
Two kinds of fluctuations are always observed in the steady parts of normal sustained vowels. One is amplitude fluctuation, defined as the cyclic changes of maximum peak amplitudes. The other is period fluctuation, defined as the cyclic changes of pitch periods. The primary purpose of this paper is to present quantitative descriptions of amplitude and period sequences obtained from normal sustained vowels. These fluctuation sequences consisted of maximum peak amplitudes or pitch periods extracted successively from 512 consecutive pitch periods in the steady part. Results of the frequency analysis indicated that their frequency characteristics seemed to be subject to the spectral power law. In order to investigate the possibility that the frequency characteristics of the fluctuation sequences influence the voice quality of sustained vowels,psychoacoustic experiments were conducted. Amplitude and period sequences evaluated in the experiments were spectral(white noise), and sequences, respectively. The experimental results indicated that the subjective voice quality of synthesized sustained vowels could reflect the differences in the frequency characteristics of the fluctuation sequences.
The role of in the perception of voice onset time and voice offset time106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427066View Description Hide Description
An important speech cue is that of voice onset time (VOT), a cue for the perception of voicing and aspiration in word-initial stops. Preaspiration, an [h]-like sound between a vowel and the following stop, can be cued by voice offset time, a cue which in most respects mirrors VOT. In Icelandic VOffT is much more sensitive to the duration of the preceding vowel than is VOT to the duration of the following vowel. This has been explained by noting that preaspiration can only follow a phonemically short vowel. Lengthening of the vowel, either by changing its duration or by moving the spectrum towards that appropriate for a long vowel, will thus demand a longer VOffT to cue preaspiration. An experiment is reported showing that this greater effect that vowel quantity has on the perception of VOffT than on the perception of VOT cannot be explained by the effect of frequency at vowel offset.
Context-independent dynamic information for the perception of coarticulated vowels106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427067View Description Hide Description
Most investigators agree that the acoustic information for American English vowels includes dynamic (time-varying) parameters as well as static "target" information contained in a single cross section of the syllable. Using the silent-center (SC) paradigm, the present experiment examined the case in which the initial and final portions of stop consonant–vowel–stop consonant (CVC) syllables containing the same vowel but different consonants were recombined into mixed-consonant SC syllables and presented to listeners for vowel identification. Ten vowels were spoken in six different syllables, /bVb, bVd, bVt, dVb, dVd, dVt/, embedded in a carrier sentence. Initial and final transitional portions of these syllables were cross-matched in: (1) silent-center syllables with original syllable durations (silences) preserved (mixed-consonant SC condition) and (2) mixed-consonant SC syllables with syllable duration equated across the ten vowels (fixed duration mixed-consonant SC condition). Vowel-identification accuracy in these two mixed consonant SC conditions was compared with performance on the original SC and fixed duration SC stimuli, and in initial and final control conditions in which initial and final transitional portions were each presented alone. Vowels were identified highly accurately in both mixed-consonant SC and original syllable SC conditions (only 7%–8% overall errors). Neutralizing duration information led to small, but significant, increases in identification errors in both mixed-consonant and original fixed-duration SC conditions (14%–15% errors), but performance was still much more accurate than for initial and finals control conditions (35% and 52% errors, respectively). Acoustical analysis confirmed that direction and extent of formant change from initial to final portions of mixed-consonant stimuli differed from that of original syllables, arguing against a explanation of the perceptual results. Results do support the hypothesis that temporal trajectories specifying "style of movement" provide information for the differentiation of American English tense and lax vowels, and that this information is invariant over the place of articulation and voicing of the surrounding stop consonants.
Functional neuroimaging of speech perception in six normal and two aphasic subjects106(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.427068View Description Hide Description
This positron emission tomography study used a correlational design to investigate neural activity during speech perception in six normal subjects and two aphasic patients. The normal subjects listened either to speech or to signal-correlated noise equivalents; the latter were nonspeech stimuli, similar to speech in complexity but not perceived as speechlike. Regions common to the auditory processing of both types of stimuli were dissociated from those specific to spoken words. Increasing rates of presentation of both speech and nonspeech correlated with cerebral activity in bilateral transverse gyri and adjacent superior temporal cortex. Correlations specific to speech stimuli were located more anteriorly in both superior temporal sulci. The only asymmetry in normal subjects was a left lateralized response to speech in the posterior superior temporal sulcus, corresponding closely to structural asymmetry on the subjects' magnetic resonanceimages. Two patients, who had left temporal infarction but performed well on single word comprehension tasks, were also scanned while listening to speech. These cases showed right superior temporal activity correlating with increasing rates of hearingspeech, but no significant left temporal activation. These findings together suggest that the dorsolateral temporal cortex of both hemispheres can be involved in prelexical processing of speech.

Liverpool Message Board
Who would be good enough for Liverpool
I ask this question as to be honest seeing what is around at this time I cant see a manager that could rebuild your team after all the dross that has been bought
The one man who could do a job with decent funding is Jose but he is not avilable untill at least the summer
As i football fan I would be loathe to pay the waiter off as he does not deserve one penny the only good news seems that one of your co -owners has sold his american sports team (much to that teams fan relief)
If and judging by what the american fans say he was willing to spend that money getting rid of Raffa and getting Jose in as well as giving him a buget how long do you think it would take to repair the damage?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

matin oneil would be my choice done well at all the clubs he,s been at time for a bigger club to pick him up and give him a chance
Hiddink would be the ideal manager for us. His record and experience speak for themselves.
Apologies to you Alex, this isn't directed personally at your thread as you seem to be an "outsider" asking a genuine question about our club. My reply is more aimed at the "sack Rafa at any cost" brigade and your thread seems a good place to hang it from at the moment.
The thing I find amazing about all of these ANTI threads about getting rid of Rafa and getting in some new super manager is that they are all written under the same basic assumption (aka delusion).
Nearly every one of these threads start off with words to the effect of...
"When PUGWASH ( fatboy, spanish waiter, insert your own particular derogatory name) is finally removed (given the chop, shown the door, sent down the road,...) and the new super manager/world conquering hero/ saviour is brought in to Anfield the owners will provide oodles of money so that all the dross that fatboy flooded the club with can be tossed aside and all the best players in the world can be purchased and brought home to Anfield where they belong...."
Come on, guys.
What planet are you all living on?
If the current owners were this free with their money don't you think they would have been spending heaps of it already?
These guys are business men, not philanthropists or football fanatics. They DON'T give a toss about Liverpool FC and its history. They don't care if the club is successful or not.
All they care about is their bottom line.
At the moment LFC is still a reasonable investment because they can keep writing off their home (ie US) debts against our club. Once this changes then they wil look to get out, when it becomes economically the correct thing to do.
They are not going to sink a single dollar more than they need to into this club to keep it the useful debt write off mechanism it currently is for them. They will strip this club to its bones if necessary and sell off any asset they can, just like they do in any other business situation they find themselves involved.
As long as it helps their bottom line.
"Liverpool FC? Who gives a toss? It isn't even american, for goodness sake. Why would we put any of our hard earned money into something that is in limey land?"
I think you get th idea.
So, for those of you out there still dreaming that the yank owners are going to come riding in on their white chargers, sack fatboy and his team of dross and turn this club around overnight by hiring the world's greatest manager and giving him a blank cheque with which to buy the world's greatest payers all I can say is WAKE THE FECK UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!
It isn't the manager we need to get rid of first before things will start to get better.

Although you are entitled to your opinion Ajay - I find the assumption that those of us who want Rafa out as deluded a little conceited.
I have never called Rafa, Pugwash, Fat Spanish waiter etc...that sort of rubbish is reserved for the poster who thinks he lives beside Lake Geneva (probably a picture inside his padded room) - or generally Mancs and bluenoses upto a bit of 'fun'.
I dont think there is a super-manager out there that is a shoe-in for the job & I don't think Kenny is a true candidate - I just think that is wishful thinking (although it would be nice for him to prove us wrong - that would drive Ferguson over the edge - haha)
..but I genuinely believe there comes a point where a manager has taken a team as far as he can - and whatever you say about the Yanks, who I don't like, to say he hasn't had money to spend is ridiculous - the players he's let go is (Crouch, Keane, Bellamy, Alonso, even players on loan..).
Whatever fond memories there are of Istanbul or Cardiff 12 months later are just that - memories.
His style of play / tactics are not something I want to watch for the next 20 years - so at the end of the season I will wish him well if he moves on.

The longer this goes on, the longer it will take to repair, but there is still a core nucleus of quality in the squad to give me faith that whoever takes over, at least will be moving forward. A stable side is the first priority, with the BEST players being played. A good example of this is what has happened today with Bolton. Fatty found it impossible to NOT PLAY Lucas, and who is relaced? Aquillani. There is NO WAY that makes sense. Its a DOWNWARD substitution. It is this mentality that a new manager will change, but to be honest, probably 2 years before we challange for PL again, but CL qualification a MUST.
A win at home to Bolton is a relief at the moment, and that is what has to change.
Whats about Frank Rijkaard, wouldn't his deeds and knowledge be useful to us.

Mourinhio or Hiddink are the only two possible candidates that would deem good enough.
Yes I'm being picky but Liverpool should have the best and these two men are IMHO.
- 1 Reply to Kenny 7 Suarez
Apparently Mourinho has his eye on the Man U job, so it wouldn't be great to get him if he really wants to be somewhere else, HIDDINK is the overwhelming No.1 choice,but even so as Benitez says he's happy at Liverpool whether or not he'll still be in May is another question, and games like today will show whether or not all this talk about Hiddink or Mourinho et all will really be a reality in the end....
