New manager poll

[Code]

I'm liking the Laudrup link!

 

Why?

 

Take a look here from two years back when we sacked rafa.

This is my comment to the thread with a few updates since its been a while since it was posted.

 

When Laudrup got the job at Brøndby they were the leading club in Denmark and they had just won the league.

 

In Laudrups time at Brøndby FC Copenhagen established themselves as the new power in Danish football so I dont think the one title he won at Brøndby should be used much as a positive when discussing Laudrup.

 

If we look at the numbers from before and after he got appointed it does not really show any signs of free attacking football either, Brøndby scored far less goals with Laudrup as manager than before he was appointed, in fact they scored 70+ goals in 3 of the 4 seasons before Laudrup got the job, something he never achieved.

 

The season before Laudrup was appointed.

 

01/02: 1. Brøndby 33 20 9 4 74-28 69p

 

Laudrup gets appointed.

 

02/03: 2. Brøndby 33 15 11 7 61-35 56p

03/04: 2. Brøndby 33 20 7 6 55-29 67p

04/05: 1 Brøndby 33 20 9 4 61-23 69p

05/06: 2.Brøndby 33 21 4 8 60-34 67p

 

 

Then he took over Getafe after Schuster and he took them backwards too, so not much to talk about there either to be honest.

Schuster had Getafe finishing 9th in La Liga two seasons in a row, when Laudrup took charge he got them finishing 15th and with a negative goal difference on top.

 

Schuster:

05/06: 9. Getafe 38 15 9 14 54-49 54p

06/07: 9. Getafe 38 14 10 14 39-33 52p

 

Laudrup:

07/08: 15. Getafe 38 12 11 15 44-48 47p

 

After Laudrup:

08/09: 17. Getafe 38 10 12 16 50-56 42p

09/10: 6. Getafe 38 17 7 14 58-48 58p

 

Then he had a short stint at Spartak Moscow but was sacked after half a season after poor results.

 

Then it was Mallorca, the season before Laudrup got appointed Mallorca had a pretty good season finishing 5th, just 1 point behind Sevilla in 4th, but again Laudrup has come in and made them worse and they finished just above relegation

 

Before Laudrup:

09/10: 5. Mallorca 38 18 8 12 59-44 62p

 

Laudrup:

10/11: 17. Mallorca 38 12 8 18 41-56 44p

11/12: 11. Mallorca 5 2 0 3 3-5 6p

 

After Laudrup:

11/12: 8. Mallorca 38 14 10 14 42-46 52p

11/12: 8. Mallorca 33 12 10 11 39-41 46p

 

Why Laudrup keeps getting linked to big jobs only God knows, but one thing is certain, its got nothing to do with his achievments as a coach/manager because without a glorious career as a player and the romantic picture people might get in their head about how he would get the team performing most people would not even know who he was.

 

He is not really that young either is he at the age of 48?

You also forgot worse record as Chelsea manager than AVB.

I did not forget it -it is not true.

[Code]

I did not forget it -it is not true.

 

Its certainly true.

 

Less points pr game, less goals scored pr game and more goals conceded pr game.

 

I posted it somewhere earlier in the week.

[dennis tooth]

Please God anyone but Deschamps or Laudrup, mediocre managers making mediocre careers off the back of successful playing careers. And I think Di Matteo has his eyes set on another job somehow.

[the walsh]

brian reade said something yesterday in the mirror yesterday about capeelo on a 3year deal and put carra as he,s assitant not the worst of idea,s i would say that.

[xerxes]

Its certainly true.

An FA Cup and CL are what the record books will say.

[Code]

An FA Cup and CL are what the record books will say.

 

Obviously as they were still competing in both cups when AVB got the sack, unlike both manc teams as an example.

 

Will AVB get his medal by the way, something I never have thought about before, after all he guided Chelsea through 7 games in the CL while Di Matteo only did 6.

 

Had it been a player he would get a medal would he not?

Former Liverpool coach Karl Robinson takes some time off from MK Dons after a long season:

BBC Sport - Karl Robinson cagey on MK Dons future

 

Getting ready for a Liverpool challenge ?

[old skool tom]

love Bielsa or klopp but something tells me (for some strange reason) that rogers would be great....

his attacking footie,hungry to be a 'big' manager and a success,way he conducts himself is class,played us off park 2 times this season,no nonsense irishman......

 

just have a feeling he's gonna be a top manager when he gets the chance and support

[jamespp]

I'd want Capello but maybe not with Carra, I'd worry about communication, Capello speaks pidgin English, Carra may not be the best translator to some South American player

Capello of about ten years ago was IMO the best manager in footy, that Capello I'd take in a heart beat, now I think he's too old and doesn't give a fuck at least that's the impression I got with England. Good to see Rafa's still pissing this poll!

[lifetime fan]

With PSG not winning the league despite the money the spent is there any chance Ancelotti will get the sack...I could put up with him replacing Kenny.

[WaltonRed]

Said ancelotti to a mate last night, you'd snap there hand off for him

[lifetime fan]

Definately. Brilliant manager.

[dennis tooth]

Yeah am not keen on Capello meself after the poor WC showing more than anything else.

Ancellotti Id be fine with but, theres just one more thing:

 

 

He's too old for the ageist FSG to consider, is he not?

Wont be on their Mikel Madar radar mefinks.

I think we can save our time and rule him out from the getgo.

[KopOut]

Chelsea issued a statement, that Di Matteo is 'in the mix' for the permanent Chelsea job. That doesn't sound convincing. Does he want it? Would he relish the chance to move Liverpool up the league?? Do we care, or does the owl face really look that hideous?!?

 

He recently experienced a very vocal passionate Kop and Co and an Anfield atmosphere to quicken the pulse as we slaughtered his team in the final home game. What was he thinking? Did he find it captivating?

 

I'd actually give him a chance if he was on our hit-list.

[Evil_Ways]

Hard to argue against Capello, his record at club level is fantastic.

Though he is 66 years old, or turning sometime this year anyway, and i would not feel that appointment being for the long term really.

[kalasoma]

Would Rafa, if offered, turn the job down? Knowing just how much there is to do and the task that he will no doubt be asked to take on, would he really want to come back? It's obvious that failing to do what the owners want, is not an option.

[celeryBADboy]

I'll be honest i Wanted Rodgers hes an exciting Manager imo hes a future great.

[WaltonRed]

Rafa would love to come back but I dont thin they'll go for him

 

They'll want a clean slate

[piscinin]

Who knows for sure? There's no doubt he's been waiting for us to offer him the job, but by the same token he's gone to great lengths to make sure people know he's not looking for just a job. He wants a 'Project'. While what FSG are embarking on is definitely of that order would he be comfortable doing their project vs. his. Could he be a subordinate part? Not sure.

[KopOut]

Rafa would love to come back but I dont thin they'll go for him

 

They'll want a clean slate

 

They've quite clearly stated that they want youth. They've also stated (through Ayre) that they wont go near 'another cult hero' of the fans like KK is.

[s(k)aturation]

Klopp, apart from seeming to be a very good manager, would throw up all kinds of in-ground opportunities:

 

The Klopp.

Outside the Paisley Gates, I heard a Kloppite calling... etc

[a stoner]

Ajax boss Frank de Boer emerges as the number one target for Liverpool as they seek a replacement for Kenny Dalglish.

 

According to the s*n.

(god that pains me)

[RedKnight]

It shouldn't pain you, you should do what everyone else does and ignore it.
