I can't believe John Achterberg is our GK coach, an ex-Tranmere keeper ffs. He should be gone next hopefully.

I think he was hired under Benitez era as reserve/youth goalkeeper and has since been promoted to first team coach. Why is it a problem? Just because he wasn't a high profile player doesn't mean he can't be a good coach..?

Seriously? That's a joke.

And Doni's lost his appeal.

Another Purslow masterclass.

No coincedence Pepe has gone to **** since Valero left.

What on earth is that meant to mean? Maybe they expected Comolli to be further along in signings/targets? For example Arsenal have sorted Podolski, who could have been useful for us.

Trust me, us Arsenal fans are as shocked as you are when it comes to the Podolski deal. We don't usually buy proven European talent.

It looks like the comment itself is directed at improving depth. If so, that is the completely wrong way to go about it. Personally, the first team still needs some improvement. However, you still need depth as Lucas' and Agger's replacements in the squad haven't been good enough and you've suffered.

Exactly what I was thinking.

He's a big downgrade. Surely for a top class keeper you need a top class coach? Playing for Tranmere & having no proper coaching experience beforehand yet hiring him is a dodgy decision. We could do so much better.

"Liverpool's Head of Sports Science and Medicine - Australian Peter Brukner has also left the club."

I wonder if he was blamed for Carroll? We would've given Carroll a medical before signing - made a judgment on when he would be back in the side. He didn't end up playing much at all last season and it's only now that Carroll looks like he's getting up to sharpness. Obviously a massive blunder initially and not being able to get Carroll up to speed since.

Mmm fair point - probably another excuse to cut costs by Purslow in the first place.

I think he's getting the blame for giving the OK to sell Raul and AA based on Gerrard not getting injured.

Plus sending two players back onto the pitch who had ligament damage. (That was probably his team though)

Achterberg's gone apparently.

Plenty of rumours about David Dein. He's been at our last two games.. interesting.

[Angry cucumber]

This feels like FSG has had enough of our slump.

Its a rather savage cutting of the back room staff!!

Edit: Achterburg for a first team goalkeeping coach has a distinct lack of credentials!!

Where are those rumours coming from?

"Hardly a surprise that Achterberg has gone. He doesn't have anyone left to coach."

[clarusblue]

Such a weird day, such weird timing for you.

I feel for brad jones because, whatever you think of john achterberg's credentials, this is a massive week for him, the last thing he needs is such a disruption like losing his coach who he'll be used to

I have a suspicion that your owners are about to wipe the slate clean (including dalglish), and he could well go after Saturday. But they aren't wanting to be too disruptive to the first team before the game.

Thoughts?

[mr tim]

He'll do great things for you guys if he does join as a director. Amazing man for Arsenal.

Perhaps she was part of the legal team who drafted our PR statements What a day of ridiculous back room turmoil a couple of days before a semi final

Yeah, we need someone like him.

She actually is . No wonder.

I'm glad FSG are bringing their own people in tbh.

Really She must be an idiot.

I imagine there will be a few more American faces about the place but as long as they are highly competent then I'll be happy.

I hope our medical staff gets revamped. They must be awful considering how much Torres used to be injured for liverpool compared to now.

Having said that Torres only gets injured when he's playing good...
