Next Liverpool Manager

[MLB]

I'm cautiously optimistic if Pellegrini is the appointment. I would have preferred Kenny if I'm honest, but as second choices go this is about as good as it gets for us right now.

fixed

 

That's the thing, he's really not like Rafa at all.

[PaulMcC]

Are we getting Pellegrini?

[lifetime fan]

I don't know where you got this idea. The Villarreal team under him played attractive, effective, possession football based on intelligent and stylish use of the ball. They could be more defensive when they needed to be, usually against the likes of Barcelona, but would mostly play with two out and out forwards and look to play positive, passing football. Not out and out attacking like a Keegan team, sure, but well balanced and willing to take the game to the opposition.

 

If anything he was more "a tad attacking" than "a tad defensive".

 

And when he was in charge they beat Barca more times than they lost to them.

 

I don't for one second think this is the 'perfect' appoitment or that there wont be trouble ahead, but fuck me some people whinging about this seriously need to look at the other serious candidates.

 

I'm made up if this is true.

His playing style could be considered a tad defensive.

Boys, boys, don't squabble.

 

All a bit "my tad's bigger than your tad", this.

I'm presuming that Pellegrini's coaching staff bit the bullet too at Madrid?

 

Might be a good idea having a manager with South American connections.

 

Watching the World cup, the South American teams have all been superb with briliant technical players. He might be able to unearth talent for next to nothing, which will be good as I'd imagine this is what his budget will be as our manager.

 

To be fair to him, he did what he could at Madrid. He didn't really sign all those players. He was hardly gonna refuse the best players in the world given to him on a plate.

Hhhmm see what your saying, would be interesting to see what his connections are though.

 

What was his record like in Spain for being south Americans? Anyone know?

[kopite1989]

Are we getting Pellegrini?

 

There has been a tone of media chatter in chile Spain and a bit here, but and it's a big but, the agent quote that they are all running with isn't about him! It's maschs agent so god knows what's going on.

 

In believing nothing until Its a done deal!

[hamstrung]

We could probably get Capello now.

[The Party Boy]

The papers will love us replacing the "fat Spanish waiter" with Manuel.

[kopite1989]

Are clickliverpool a trustworthy source?

 

They are claiming that pellegrini has already agreed contacts. And will be announced soon

Better than Luxemburgo's ...

I'd rather stick a blunt fork in my eye.

Thin Chilean waiter?

 

The arse is falling right out of the betting market on this one, went from 5.3 to 4.5 while I was trying to get a fiver on, on betfair.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

So what's the situation with Hodgson? I take it that he still hasn't met with our club officials yet?

 

Hopefully he'll turn us down, but I don't think he will.

 

It's a bit strange as Fulham are still seemingly doing business in the transfer market from instruction of Hodgson.

Agents represent more than one client you know, they don't all make do with just Cuba Gooding Jr.

[Guest LFD]

If Rafa doesn't have control of transfers at Inter or Valencia. Pellegrini didn't have control of transfers at Real.

 

I wouldn't have thought he was responsible for this Villarreal either.

 

Managers like Pellegrini must love the fact they can actually have an influence and total control over transfers and all footballing decisions - which happens in the Premier League.

[Captain]

I don't think having total control over transfers at LFC is that much coveted at the moment. Unless you're Christian Purslow, of course.

[Brownie]

I think it's going to be Hodgson.

Yes, but if you read all of the articles about Masch yesterday you will see that same quote, goal.com then used that quote in their Pellegrini report and every other report since then have followed goal.com, so personally, Im not sure its a given at the moment that Pellegrini will be our next manager.

link me, because I've read the Masch stories and did not see the same quote.

This quote is what Pellegrini supposed agent said. The guy isn't even Pellegrini agent.

 

The Press Association: Mascherano iin Inter talks - agent

 

 

Javier Mascherano's agent has revealed he has held talks with Inter Milan over a possible move to the Nerazzurri, which would see the Liverpool midfielder reunited with former boss Rafael Benitez.

 

Speculation has been rife that Argentina captain Mascherano would move to the San Siro since Benitez was confirmed as Jose Mourinho's replacement last week.

 

And the 25-year-old's agent, Marco Piccioli, "There has already been a first contact with director Marco Branca. We are evaluating the move hard and in the next few days we will have a new meeting to better establish the details of this transfer deal."

If you read the click report then Buxton is purely saying reports coming out of Chile is that Pellegrini has the job.

 

Buxton himself has not said this is true but is purely going on the reports.
