he's not getting sacked...

Well I'm not a big Liverpool fan.. but this still came as a shock to me blink.gifwacko.gif Would have been understandable even if you lost to a Championship side but losing to a League 2 side and that too to The Cobblers.. who are a midtable side in League 2.. What's happening to Liverpool?

they are rebuilding and it takes time, i personally already wrote off this season because hodgson is still finding/making his team. I bet he makes at least a couple of more moves in and out in terms of players this coming january transfer window.

It all started to speed going downhill when Xabi left and was not replaced. Now you also need to find a replacement for Mascherano ASAP. But have you got the money?

On the opposite side of the spectrum..

Arsenal are expected to reveal club record profits tomorrow and that they have repaid the debt on their Highbury Square development six months early, according to Press Association Sport.

The Gunners are understood to be set to announce a ?30 million windfall from the sales of flats on the site of their former ground. With this money paid back, and the cost of the Emirates Stadium easily covered by income, a rosy picture is expected to be painted for the year running until June 2010.

Arsenal expect to beat the 24 per cent rise in pre-tax profits to ?45.5m posted this time last year. A ?4m rise in Premier League income to ?51.7m and Champions League income to ?27.3m are reported to be presented.

The Highbury Square development debt stood at ?133m at one stage but has been wiped out after the property market picked up. The only money outstanding is for the Emirates stadium, with ?220-230m left over and ?16m interest per annum which will be cleared by 2031.

I wish I could afford one of these apartments.. :p

yup, we miss xabi. and can't have money if you don't have an owner.

Roy won't get sacked so soon. There has been no squad investment, and another key player has left. The owners are to blame, not the manager, and if anyone expected instant results, then their faith is sadly misplaced.

Liverpool will be in a pretty similar position for a while now until the ownership and debt issues can be sorted out, and teams that can buy their way to success will come to the fore more and more often.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before parts ever reach the plant floor, helping prevent the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
