Listening to the podcast of Spoony's 606 this morning, a 'Pool fan phoned and said it is time for Rafa to go. He called on the club to appoint 'somebody from within... an ex-player or something.'

The obvious name the caller first suggested was Dalglish.

When Marcotti said that there's probably a reason why Dalglish hasn't managed for so many years and that might be because he doesn't want to any more, he asked the caller who else might fit the bill.

I nearly choked when the numpty suggested Ronnie Whelan! Jesus H... are there two Ronnie Whelans about? One of which I have no knowledge of and has proven himself in management to the extent that he can take over a club like Liverpool and deliver Champions League and Premier League success?

If so... how did he escape my radar?

If he is, indeed, talking about the Ronnie Whelan I am thinking of, the caller needs to either change his medication, or start taking some.

Haha, that is brilliant. A good example of a misguided 'premiership' fan who probably doesnt even know that Whelan has a 'craic' at football management already.

I used to love listening to the phone ins on the way back from games with my dad, but now they just seem to get absolute morons phone in. I didnt realise Marcotti was on BBC now. He used to one of the few good things about TalkSport. He knows his stuff.

I read that post and all I could think of was why?

Why would anyone subject themselves to 606 with spoony?

I subject myself to online coverage of Southend games, so maybe I am just addicted to 'audio torture'.

Spoony really is a bit dim, finding it hard to string a coherent sentence together, I admit. Also, how the far have the BBC's standards slipped when they allow somebody that says 'arks' instead of 'ask' on their airwaves?

I listen in spite of Spoony rather than because of him. Marcotti helps as well. I even listen to Alan Green's edition as well and I find him a pressumptious, jumped up ****** of the highest order, jumping down caller's throats without having listened to them properly... so go figure.

SkyBet have priced Whelan up at 250/1 to be next Liverpool manager. Mourinho is their 9/4 favourite.

Phone rings. Jose answers:

JM: Yes? This is Special One speaking.

LFC: Hello, this is Liverpool Football Club speaking. We'd like to talk to you about becoming our next manager.

JM: And what is my wage?

LFC: £xxxxxx.

JM: (sniggers) Okay, so what about my transfer budget?

LFC: You'll have £xxxxxx at your disposal.

JM: Per player?

LFC: No, per season. So long as you generate the same with outgoing tran... (click; deadline line tone). Hello? -- Mr Mourinho?
