There is no doubting just how tough the Blackburn boss has had it since being appointed manager last season. The media have insinuated that underhanded tactics were involved to remove his predecessor with Kean waiting in the wings as heir apparent; the fans have become disillusioned with both his tactics and transfer policy, and they have now grown exasperated by his bullish refusal bow to the virtually continual protests against his tenure.

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool are looking at signing David Villa of Barcelona and Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain in January.
The report by Spanish radio station Cadena Ser claims that Liverpool is concerned at the lack of goals by Andy Carroll, Dirk Kuyt among others so far, this season and are preparing big bids to land the top-class striking duo in the January transfer window in order to push for a tilt at the title.

Depending on which paper you believe, The Mirror suggests £5 million while the Daily Mail says the deal is worth £10 million.

Ian Ayre, Liverpool's MD, is an honest and refreshing man with a good commercial pedigree and thus far has proved himself to be the ideal man at the helm of Liverpool FC.
In a candid interview today he discussed the proposed new stadium, the former disasterous previous owners Hicks and Gillette and he praised current custodians FSG.

Having admitted that before the arrival of Jose Mourinho, he had not really been a football coach able to get the best out of his side at the start of the new domestic season, Sir Alex Ferguson surely now knows that in this day and age, even with Mourinho gone, he is still facing an extremely tough start as he seeks to find out whether or not he has retained the skills acquired during the Special One's spell in England.

So, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that the Manchester United striker has been speaking to the press about the importance of his team being able to win ugly.
