Fowler

Not open for further replies.
Perth are soooo fucking shit haha

Having said that, they seem to be recruiting decently for next season

Apparently they have signed/close to signing:

1. Shane Smeltz- ST
2. Travis Dodd - RW
3. Danny Vukovic - GK

Have to admit that is pretty damn good recruiting ... Vukovic in particular is a good signing. That Tando Velaphi is a joke in goals.
 
The goalie is appalling, like watching someone who has never played in nets before. Stallone looked better in Escape to Victory.

Sterjovski is another waster. Hope he goes.

Fowler & Smeltz up front would be nice.
 
Velaphi's been signed by Victory. Absolutely fucking god knows why.

Travis Dodd's best days are behind him. He's quick, but that's about it.

Perth's problem is their managerial set-up. They need to bomb that fucking joker Ferguson out ot fuck, and take that hack Dave Mitchell with him too. Mitchel''s been there since their inception hasn't he? And what the fuck has he brought to them.

Anyway, Fowler; well his playing days should be over. He can't even fucking run. Coaching gig might suit him actually. He'd have the respect of the dressing room, he's played under some great managers, and he seems more clever than he actually acts so I can't see how he could do any worse than what they've currently got.
 
ROBBIE FOWLER has set his sights on returning to Liverpool — as a coach.

The former Reds striker is currently taking his UEFA coaching badges after spells working with MK Dons and Bury since returning to England from Australia.

And the 36-year-old admits he would jump at the chance to join Kenny Dalglish's backroom staff at Anfield.

Fowler said: "If I'm being honest I would love to come back but it's not really my choice.

"If I could walk there tomorrow I would
but it's not the ideal world as we all know.

"Eventually that is obviously the aim to try get and get back there and be a part of that club again because I was there since I was 11 and it's a big part of my life."

Fowler hung up his boots last season after netting nine goals in 28 appearances for Perth Glory.
 
Well hopefully he proves himself a decent coach so that we're jumping to install him , or if he comes back to get some experience then it will be great having him around the club , especially for some of the younger players . I think that young lad Morgan mentioned he trained with the reserves a few months ago and they were in awe of him and his finishing .
 
Great and fantastically gifted natural footballer as he was, I am not totally sure about his credentials as regards influencing the youngsters, unless it's on a don't make the same mistakes as I did basis.
Although by some accounts from one of my lads when he met him in Lark Lane the other week, he might not be such a great influence on Andy C.

Perhaps (though one wonders who might have been leading whom astray there right through the evening - I doubt it will have been all one way) but like Ryan I don't really buy the reality of the gormless image Robbie has sometimes presented, so if he's serious about wanting to join the LFC coaching staff I'd back him to act accordingly.
 
yeah i hear you Vlad , but i was thinking more of an influence with the on-field stuff , the off field is open to debate (although personally i doubt it is as bad as some portray ) .

I think it is difficult to separate on the field from off the field and I agree all these things get exaggerated and I am not one that expects players to be angels, Christ I never objected to the idea of Barton, or Bowyer joining us, I don't even mind the ones that like a pint as long as it does not impact noticeably on their fitness, but I think it's horses for courses. Robbie never was or probably is a great one for respecting authority, that was part of what made him what he was.
It all came so naturally to Robbie, I don't expect he could coach anyone how to be striker. The people you do need on the back-room staff are the solid model pros The Hyppia and Carra's of this world, indeed you don't have to look much further than Kenny.
Just because he was a legend, it does not make him back-room staff material, I would keep him well away, I think some people are letting hearts rule heads.

During his LFC days, and by that I mean the Houllier era, we'd often spot him in the Rose with his mates, but always drinking orange juice, never beer.
Now I haven't a clue about his behaviour during Evan's era, but he certainly seemed to have be level headed at that time, and that was what, 15 years ago? He's wiser now anyway.

I doubt very much that he'd be a bad influence on anyone in the drinking/partying category.

Hahaha he must have been drinking orange juice in Lark Lane then, and just stumbled slightly when my lad had to help pick him up off the pavement a couple of weeks ago then, nothing wrong with that, most of us have been there ourselves on more than one occasion, after a bad orange , look we all know what he was like and we loved him for it good and bad, but stop trying to dress him up as something else.
Fuck me he was part of the pass the pound brigade that everyone keeps hanging Razor Ruddock for, tell you what why not bring him back as a coach too, I am sure he could let the press know he fancies it. :🙂

No I agree with this , we strive to be the best so we can't be too sentimental and carry someone who is not up to the task . So for Fowler to get a coaching role with us , he'd have to gain some experience elsewhere and prove he's up to it . But i wouldn't mind if he was at the club while earning some badges , coaching the youngsters like I believe Carra has already done .

And I agree on the Hyypia /Carra point too , right at this moment I'd be more confident of these 2 becoming top coaches ahead of fowler . Time will tell i guess , hopefully they're all boss and form some sort of coaching super team that leads us to years of glory !

^ on the money
 
I agree that Fowler might not necessarily be an amazing coach, as much as we would want him to be, and that him wanting to coach at Liverpool is not qualification in itself but I am not so sure that his less than professional background is necessarily a reason to doubt him.

All players used to drink a lot and go out a lot, but it is possible to change and become more professional. Otherwise virtually any footballer from the 70s, 80s and early 90s would not have been able to move into coaching or management.

But aren't you being a little previous in assuming he won't be able to teach what he knew, however instinctively?

Fowler in shock move to Thailand

Former Liverpool hero Robbie Fowler has agreed to sign for Thai club Muang Thong United.

Fowler, 36, left Perth Glory in June citing family reasons, and said he would "stay in the UK to complete my coaching badges".

However, the striker has now seemingly decided against a return to England and has instead agreed to move to the Thai Premier League.

"He agreed to play with Muang Thong United as a forward," team manager Ronnarit Suewaja told AFP.

"I'm confident that Thai football will improve as a famous player like him agreed to join us."

Fowler is expected to arrive in Thailand on Friday before completing the necessary formalities of his transfer.

The striker, who made 26 appearances for England, spent time coaching at MK Dons earlier this year.
 
he must have been coked of his tits when some fit thai bird turned up telling him he could play with her thong if he signed on the dotted line

Who said that?
 
Fowler would be by far the highest profile player in the Thai Premier League, whose other foreign stars include Christian Kouakou of Ivory Coast, Ney Fabiano of Brazil and Japan's Kazuto Kushida.

The move comes four months after Portuguese coach Henrique Calisto joined Muang Thong following his resignation from the Vietnam national team.
 
I think he really cant stand the idea of life after football, Teddy Sheringham's probably his role model ;D
