Would you have a British Manager to manage Liverpool?

[WhiskeyJar]

Would you give a British manager support if Rafa would leave/sacked whatever?

 

I like having a foreign manager at the helm as they tend to think outside the box and because it winds up the media so damn much.

 

In return though, is it about time to play some old fashion English tactics?

 

P.S: This is not a Rafa bashing thread, I want him to stay. The purpose of this thread is to get some feedback from everyone regarding English managers, their style of play and if it would suite our club. If you have someone in mind that is not English him then just choose Stick to Foreign option of the poll.

If they were good enough, yes. But none are, so at the moment, no.

[Dicko]

At the moment no.

In the future, well it's the best man for the job regardless of nationality.

[RedKnight]

Exactly.

[Ted]

Dalglish?

[Crazyhorse7778]

If someone is the right man for the job it doesn't matter where they're from.

[Whelan]

I'll have the best man for the job, as Crazyhorse says, but no Welshman, i draw the line at Welsh.

[WhiskeyJar]

Dalglish?

 

This question answers a lot about who we perceive English managers right now. Even the England sqaud is runned from a foreigner yet the media give so much schtick to Rafa its unblievable.

 

As world class Rafa is, so far the majority of the fans in the forum dont want an English manager.

[Ted]

Er, you said BRITISH manager, not English.

[WhiskeyJar]

Er, you said BRITISH manager, not English.

 

Sorry mistyped that. I meant to say British.

[Ted]

Fair do's.

 

Steve Bruce is a good English/British manager.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Paul Ince.

I dont see why anyone would give a shit where our manager is from, it's just whoever is most likely to help us win things.

Gotta be the correct answer. Pity there's no voting option for this.

[Delmar]

Yep, though none of the present PL managers. Ideally I'd have Carragher trained to the job starting now, player this year, player/coach next year, Rafa gone in 3-4 years.

 

It would be important to have a bit of tradition back to the club. There's already a good beginning with Sammy Lee, Dalglish, Hamann (who can be considered honorary British). It would need to be continued, based on Rafa's work so far, and moved towards more Liverpool oriented and related philosophy.

[Thants]

I just can't see Dalglish ever managing us again. I'm not sure he'd want the pressure, especially as he's nearing 60. He seems to be relishing his current job too.

I honestly don't want to see it. He's my only proper hero and I'm happy with what he's given me.

As for any other British manager, yes I'd support them. Coppell is probably the best manager out there, I'd jump at the chance to have him.

[WhiskeyJar]

But it does really matter doesnt it? Especially when it comes to the public eye and how the general British public relate to Liverpool. Nothing against foreigner managers, in fact I endorse.

[CaptainK]

At the moment, there's no one good enough. So for the time being, it has to be a case of picking the best of the foreign managers.

[Red Hot]

i wouldn't complain to any manager wherever he comes from replacing Rafa, if he was better. At present I don't feel anyone under the circuimstances would do as good a job as Rafa. What will be the out come if we put an unbeaten run of 6 or 7 games on the bounce? We win tonight we are 4 points off Man U and they may just about to hit a poor spell !

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

If they were good enough, yes. But none are, so at the moment, no.

 

This.

 

Anybody that is good enough, regardless of nationality (or any other arbitrary factor), would have my support.

[JohnnyH]

Interesting thread.

 

Most are of the opinion that if you're good enough, then it doesn't matter where you come from.

 

Others have mentioned a man who hasn't managed for almost a decade and his last two managerial jobs he failed at. Albeit before that he was a resounding success as a manager, but his last success was 15 years ago.

 

And another has said he wants our next manager to be a lad currently playing who has never managed anyone, and his very first managerial job should be with us.

 

If I mentioned the 3 above for possible managers at say, Man Utd I'd be told that only 1 of the above is not madness.

Okay Johnny ,lets say we had to choose between a British manager in the Premier League and any other top manager in Europe, who would it be??

[INTORRESTING]

if they are good enough but they aren't
