Next Permanent Liverpool Manager

[TommyW]

There hundreds i'd rather have.

 

Even ones i don't know exist.

 

they dont merely have to be better than Roy though do they? they need to be good enough to get us back into the CL otherwise whats the point?

[Code]

I dont get this not availible at the moment argument either, there are loads of managers who would quit their job if the liverpool job got availible now that we have new owners.

 

If not we have the perfect candidate at the club already.

[Lee909]

The reason im behind Coyle getting the job is partly that who out of the biest coaches in europe will go anywere near the job.

Capello,Mourinho,Hiddink,Van Gal wouldnt touch it in my opinion.There is alot of work to be done with the side and who knows how much money is available,and what power comolli has.

Rikaard has a track record at one club were its uncertain who was signing the players and he had a amaing squad of players when he won trophies,with Madrid doing everything they could not to win anything.When he needed to keep discipline he couldnt do it himself,he needed Ten Carte with him.

 

Pellegrini is unproven when it comes to winning trophies,has no expierence in this league.

 

Deschamps seems to have a decent track record,but most is based in a poor french league.

while Coyle hasnt won anything either he has had 2 poor clubs playing some decent football,he is still very young and his teams are not afraid of having a go at winning games away from home at big teams grounds

For the rest of the season, I'd take someone just trying to win some away games.

 

Kenny wouldn't get us back in CL this season but he'd do better than Hodgson.

 

Give it to someobne long term in the summer if we're too tight to pay compenstaion mid season to a club of a manager we really want.

[Shreddy]

Hmm. I would love it if we got that manager from Valencia.

[johnno]

FAT SAM ?

HA HA BIG FAT BASTERD JUST BEEN SACKED

[Monster Masch]

Hmm. I would love it if we got that manager from Valencia.

 

If you'd love it, surely you know his name?

[ctkeepercoach]

I don't like managers who wear shorts and/or tracksuits and football boots at games. Small point but they are really only a flat cap away from Alan Ball.

 

That's not fair... That's my style and I'm at least as good as the guy we have now....

[MLB]

To be fair, I think Roy has been trying to win away games recently. He's just either really, really bad at it, or it's been so long he's forgotten how.

[waiting game]

Peter from Plymouth... did he really just say that?

good grief.

Safe standing happens in Germany with no problems, the kop spend a lot of the time standing which is not safe.

 

I think there's no problem with looking into safe standing.

If im 100% honest i cant say it doesnt make me nervous...

Yes there are loads of manager who would quit their jobs, but it doesn't mean FSG think they are the right person. Let's say they've identified someone, had initial discussion and the candidate said "I'm up for it but made a commitment to my club I won't walk out midseason." So in that situation, do you sack the current manager and select your 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice because they are available today or would walk out of their current job today, or do you say the best choice long term is to get our number 1 man? I believe the way FSG work, if that was the option they would wait. In fact Henry said as much tonight when he said the quickest decisions are not always the best decisions.

Couldn't do a worse job.

[coop]

We have been here before with the 'anyone but' statements so its important we get this next appointment right rather then going on someone who is right for the media and get someone who is right for Liverpool.

 

Putting Kenny in charge until the summer is not going to happen as it could well end up creating more problems as the fans would then not be willing to part with Dalglish again.

 

Putting someone like Thompson in temp charge would be an easier appointment as whilst not as popular as Dalglish still knows what values the club has.

I agree with everything you say there, but let me add that sometimes you need to use short term solutions to reach long term goals so it goes both ways.

Thompson also have the best points per game ratio for any Liverpool manager in PL history with 2,04 points pr game.

 

24 games 14 wins 7 draws and 3 losses

[WaltonRed]

Thompsons a nob though

[Delmar]

Indeed. Let's say they have identified 3 potential managers. Are the differences between them so much that it would make more sense short term to continue with the incumbent uninspiring one in order to wait for no 1 choice, rather than try a new approach with no 3, knowing that we really cannot get any worse, but could, possibly, see a clear improvement and the no 1 would not be necessary...

Small sample sizes make statistics fun!

[8jordan8]

Why get a temp in, its a decent scenario for someone to come in now, buy a few of there own players in Jan, gives them 8 months to get there feel for the club before next season starts. Also its a slightly less pressurised position to be in now because like me most fans have written this season off now so even top 8 will end up being a decent finish judging the way we are going at the moment.

Am I weird for shitting myself when I saw this thread bumped at the same time the 4 or 5 Fat Sam Sacked threads emerged?

That's not right is it? Looking back both of Rafa's 80+ point seasons gave a better return. If you are saying that he has the best return per game of anyone you would consider as a temp' until FSG get the long term choice nailed down then I agree.

I vote for:

 

 

Thompson or the guy above. Hmmm, tough choice.
