Best manager ever
He never won a World Title (Intercontinental Cup) or an FA Cup (back when it was considered almost equal to the league in prestige).
Even the 3 European Cups isn’t as impressive as it may seem. Given how easy it was to win back then, he should have won it more times. Ajax and Bayern both 3-peated, which Paisley failed to do. Flipping Nottingham Forest won it twice.
He had no longevity either. For example, Mourinho’s 9-season stretch between 2003-2012 was far more impressive than Paisley’s run, but then Mourinho’s career tanked. Same likely would have happened to Bob.
The likes of Ferguson, Guardiola and Del Bosque are miles ahead of him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pathetic childish nonsense.
Even if he’d won nothing he was 10 times the man Mourinho was. He dedicated his entire career to LFC. (Apart from a few years when he was busy fighting for your freedom). For him it was all about the club and he had the class to quit at the top, leaving the team in good shape for his successor. Hate Liverpool if you like but Bob Paisley was universally respected.
I’d like to say my comment was in jest and tongue in cheek. I in no way, shape or form are in the same boat as liquid

No problem Nick. Anyone can see that.
Nothing to do with Bob but it reminds me a a Shanks quote when Celtic won the European Cup.
Shanks, to Stein, “Jock, you’re a legend”
They all were. I miss those days. (Not that I was born then)
