Who would you rather have? Norv Turner? Mike Singletary? Why make a comment like that if you won't at least post your opinion as to why you think hiring Wade Phillips was such a big mistake?

Moreover, there are a few peculiar things he's done.For instance, with the Bills he benched Flutie (their star quarterback at the time) for the '99 playoffs because Rob Johnson had one good game in the final game of the season (they were resting Flutie). That strikes me as a large managerial mistake.

Any insights to what the sentiment is overseas? Word is here he's just buying the team to get the rights to the stadium....he doesn't know a thing about soccer.Mike B.

A top Premiership club like Liverpool will always be a safe bet as regards earning potential so it's just a matter of how much money over how long a period of time.I guess he's a 'sports' guy who's jumping on the bandwagon a bit - he'll go to a few games, perhaps wear a shirt (jersey) and then drop out of sight in the UK. HOWEVER - should he try and move Liverpool from Anfield.............. Well I wouldn't want the wrath of a million scousers!

Sardan wrote:Absolutely. Personally I think that football clubs are huge moneypits and it would be very difficult to make much money from a team (other than Manchester United where the IP rights will make you money). Liverpool probably isn't far off though.I agree that if he tried to move Liverpool from Anfield he'd face a lot of problems!
