Would Jock accept the job of Assistant Manager?

[RoyHodgeGone]

I bet people will laugh at this. But think about it! Jock was very close to Kenny when he was our manager first time. Not as official assistant manager but as club captain and confidant. They remain very close to this day. No-one knows the King better. Perhaps with Steve Clarke now here it isn't necessary. However there is a nice symmetry to the fact that both Jock and Kenny left the club at virtually the same time - 20 years ago - when we were league champions and top of the table. Thinking about the Damned United movie it was interesting to see how close Clough and Taylor were and perhaps Clough wasn't the same without him. Also having Jock back would only remind people of the glory days. Silly? Maybe. But perhaps he's bored after 20 years sitting on the MOTD sofa and might fancy a change?

By 'Jock' you mean Hansen? Never heard him called 'Jock' before.

 

He wouldn't want the job and we don't need him.

[Rush 346]

Jockey you mean - no he is on a good contract with the beeb mate and enjoying retirement

[razor]

Jocky Hansen, Gus?

 

Let him enjoy his golf.

[The Dude Abides]

Why would or should he be offered a job?

 

Makes me laugh this kind of thing.

[dennis tooth]

No, he's always said he wouldn't do it-people had misgiving about Kenny's 'time out of the game' never mind Hansen who has never coached.

[Code]

They were out at San Carlo`s on Sunday night discussing the details.

[The Acolyte]

Didn't Hansen admit to throwing up before matches and that it got worse as he got older. He also did a documentary in the late 90's early 00's where he admitted he couldn't do management?

[Jim MM]

There's potential there for something like the LeBron James deal, what with him being a famous tv star and all.

[William_Ulsterman]

far too dour to coach anything.

[Sangria]

No.

[johnshields83]

No thanks.

[zigackly]

He wouldn't be interested and I think we have a good backroom team as it is.

[gkmacca]

He talks at length in his autobiography about how stressed he used to get. He wouldn't want any kind of job, and he doesn't need one to support Kenny.

[tenner]

I don't think he would want to do it. He has a handy job at the bbc and i don't think he has ever coached. We are okay the way we are now with the King, Clarke and the rest of the coaching staff.

[JohnnyH]

All I know is Flanagan is guaranteed to be a brilliant manager and we should be considering him NOW.

[Guest ian garro]

He was offered the Managers job a couple of times when we were really desperate, and he turned it down. He's too laid back, and he's on a good screw there with the BBC, sitting back, pointing out peoples' mistakes with no pressure on him whatsoever.

 

I see no reason as to why we'd even consider it these days ?

[Lario]

You'll win nothing with kids.

[silverlining]

I knew as soon as I saw the subject headline that the author would be negged to fuck for all the right reasons.

 

My all-time favourite Liverpool player. But he's happy where he is.

 

And so am I.

[Trucker Paddy]

Isn't Jock Stein dead?

[scooter]

he wont come because liverpool want to buy youngsters and as we all know you dont win nothing with kids pmsl

Bit harsh to neg him he was only canvassing opinions.

[George Costanza]

I think Steve Clarke is doing a fine job as is. Kenny, Clarke & Comolli seem to be a decent little triangle

[Acid]

You don't think he's already got a bit of a job doing it, talking to kenny on the golf course, maybe try this guy, maybe try these two together...?

[FudgeDragon]

Agree with this.

 

Feel very confident looking forward knowing these 3 are pulling the strings
