Thank you, Liverpool

By: Steven | May 20th, 2008

In his most brilliant transfer move yet, Rafa Benitez has taken Philip Degen off of our hands. It’s all part of his “rebuild the team so we can finish higher than fourth place” strategy, and apparently he thinks Degen is capable of providing an “attacking spark” down the flank. I’m a little disappointed that we couldn’t get a transfer fee for Degen, but having someone actually pay something for this guy would be pushing it. I’m just glad he’s gone.

In other news, Thomas Doll has resigned as head coach. It’s about time, too. Seriously, if your team lets in 62 goals in one season, you deserve to be fired. Stats like that don’t lie, and those numbers are unacceptable. Hopefully his replacement will be able to secure a higher finish in the league (and a decent showing in the UEFA Cup).

  Now that he is moving to Liverpool, will his stats on Football Manager 2009 be doubled? Looks like Benitez did not learn his lesson on free transfers from the Voronin move.

  We’ll miss Philipp, it’s a shame it did not work out for him here but he is talented, I guess injuries and bad management stopped him becoming the player he could be. Good luck in Liverpool Philipp.

  Hey folks,
  Liverpool Fan here!
  Can anyone on here enlighten me as to how good Philip is?
  What i do know is that he is pretty fast and goes forward well, it’s also been said that his defensive qualities can be lacking at times! So what else is there? Did he fall out of favour with your boss? Doe she have a good temperment? Come on give us the gossip?
