Next Liverpool Manager

[jackofdk]

Fowler backs Redknapp to get a fat new contract out of Spurs now that his mate Jamie has asked him to have a word, that should read.

 

Or maybe the crazy cat is just giving his own opinion? I know it's an outlandish theory but I reckon that could well be the case here.

I don't really mind either way to be honest. No chance we'll appoint Redknapp and 'Arry knows it, but it just happens to be contract renewal time with Spurs ...

[WaltonRed]

Redknapp has no chance.

 

We dont do Cockneys.

You might well both be right of course. I just think he is a better manager than Roy Hodgson (probably not a better person though).

[cochcaer]

I'm probably clutching at straws but one can hope.

 

Too much haste and it'll look a bit of a coup.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I don't want Hodgson because he looks like the dead body from The Goonies who the Fratelli's murdered, the one who Chunk get's stuck in the walk in fridge/car boot with.

I bet online with Coral. The cunts have changed the wesbite and the football bets seem limited now. I want to place a bet on who our next manager is but it doesnt appear to be available.

 

Anybody else use Coral?

I've noticed most seem to remove their odds through the night, should be back on there in the morning.

I have looked at night both times to be fair. I'll check again tomorrow in daylight! They must react to what the papers say.

Hodgson has a very good record and I think he'd be an excellent appointment for a year or two. Blackburn are the only club he hasn't left in a better state than he found them, and even then he'd actually done a very good job during his first season at the helm. But, of course, three bad months is all it takes to undo good work.

 

In an ideal world it wouldn't be the case, but in lieu of a Guardiola, Mourinho or Hiddink magically appearing in the dugout for the opening game of next season, we could do far worse than have Hodgson take the helm for a couple of seasons.

Care to elaborate? I only ask because I've had a look at his record, and it seems pretty average to me.

You're clutching at straws now.

There's a fuckload of rumour, conjecture and spin out there. Just sitting back and waiting. I don't trust the owners/Purslow/Broughton to find a new manager, but hopefully Kenny being on board should save us from the absolute worst. Wait and see I suppose.

 

Pellegrini would be my choice, he's done well at both improving a midtable club into a Champions League side and managing a top side full of international egotists. We're somewhere between that I suppose; not quite a provincial unfashionable team but not quite in the same tier as (spits) Real Madrid (although we're probably as much a circus, albeit in a different way). Think he'd do well here if his English is decent.

 

I can also see the logic in Roy Hodgson. I doubt he'd be an unmitigated disaster, I think he'd steady the ship and would be able to coax some good performances out of a lot of the players. But at the end of the day, he wouldn't demand too much money, would be keen on one big shot at a big-name club in England and, most crucially given our ownership limbo, be willing to work on a shortish contract. He wouldn't be my first choice at all, but if he came here I'd be reasonably happy as it would hopefully add more weight to the "we're definitely being sold" theory.

[Torvald Utne]

whoever it is will have to be a transfer magician considering we've spent nothing on players since and including summer 2008, infact brought in a couple of million more than we've spent by lfchistory figures.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see that get worse.

It's which particular players he's going to be able to coax performances out of which appears to be the biggest hurdle. The same applies to anyone else who's linked.

[spider-neil]

Redknapp has no chance.

 

We dont do Cockneys.

 

carra does, ask john terry's mum :whistle:

And indeed to Rafa had he stayed.

[Dicko]

It wasn't Carra.

[WaltonRed]

I'm an optimist like Al.

 

I think we can do better than a hell of lot of people think we can.

 

As I said on the other thread, Hogson is a BBC pundit for the WC so expect movement before then surely?

[Wezza]

Not sure if already posted, but pinched from the offal media watch area

 

According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Lippi represents the kind of solidity and success rate that the new Anfield owners are looking for.

 

His presence would also help guarantee that stars such as Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will stay on at the club.

 

The newspaper claims that both Liverpool legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush would support this appointment

 

 

I seem to remember him looking cool as fuck smoking his big cigars whilst wearing his massive silver coat at Juve.

[PaulMcC]

Hodgson still looking likely, then.

 

Fucking hell.

[RobbieOR]

Hodgson is flavour of the month.

[jme]

Hodgson would be a bad appointment in my opinion - he was woeful when in charge of Blackburn.

 

I'd like to see Lippi or Eriksson in charge.

[col06]

Hodgson still looking likely, then.

 

Fucking hell.

 

I don't think he would be a long term appointment

New owners in the wings? I think so.

Somebody must have wanted Benitez gone very badly is all i can say.

Good riddance too.

 

How can he trouser £6mill and then walk straight to Inter on £8mill a year?

I thought we were skint? Somebody must have money to spunk.

Rafa got what he wanted, the only slight flaw in his plan, is that he now has to wait for Maureen to get the bullet at Madrid.

 

All season watching him make one bizarre decision after another, im thinking he is trying to fuck this up.

There was no other explanation.

The mans a genius

And yet all these boards are still full of people lauding him,:wallbutt: and worried about what Redknapp might spiv out of us.

Hes gonna have to work hard to better Benitez at that.

 

BTW I reckon Van Gaal is the best man for the job if anyone cares...
