I want Jamie Carragher as our manager. There I said it. I'd like Mourinho, infact I'd carry him here, but I really, really want Carragher as manager of Liverpool Football Club. The past two years, despite the 3 month period of sensational football towards the arse end of last season, has been filled with cynicism, media leaks, agendas, genuine confusion and frustration on and off the pitch. I'm fed up of reading the papers on a Sunday, Saturday or Monday and thinking 'Whats Rafa leaked now?'. I'm fed up of hearing every fort night 'New investment imminent' , I'm fed up of managers, and staff alike looking out for their best interests and theirs alone. As I said, without wanting to go into debates which have been rehashed over and over again in many threads. I feel what this club needs as well as new investment, is local, proud and talented individuals to look after this clubs ethos. The Liverpool Way has been bashed around for years, people having differing opinions of what it means and what it doesn't. It's about time we brought it back, and brought it back with a vengeance. Jamie Carragher is the epitome of what this club stands for, quality, commitment, and honour. His charity work and community work has been second to none, and his commitment to the Liverpool cause puts many players past and present to shame. Whether or not he would take it is irrelevant, it's what I want want. Not what may or may not happen, but i believe it's what this club needs. Rafa Benitez IMO has firmly been ruthless in attacking doubters, be it owners, former players, pundits or journo's. He demanded a 5 year contract, and despite this over the past few months has claimed how he could have been else where. He's looking after him, and him only. Fuck where his priorities lie, as long as he is getting paid a tidy wedge, he should be acting in the best interests of LFC, and he hasn't. Not by a long shot, since September our football has been nothing short of disgrace, 'possibilities' have been more fiction than fact, and he's led the fans on a merry ride. Back in '07 we marched for Rafa, for his job and his future. Since then we have seen him leak stories to the press, ruthlessly striking down any nay sayer. We've had former players under Benitez, or otherwise criticising Benitez. It's got to the point, that no matter what he does, or what he says I don't trust it, nor do I believe it...Right fuck it I don't want to get into that. I want a manager i can trust, I want a set up where the best interests of this club are put before any individual. It's about time this club came first, not politics managers and ownership alike seem to enjoy playing. Martin Broughton has a massive task on his hand, and if there was one thing I could say to him now it would be this. 'Unite our club' from SOS to Share LFC. Our fanbase and club is split in different sections. We need an end to agenda and games, we need an end to supporter shame in our leadership. We need a battle plan. Whether it takes Martin 6 weeks or 6 months. We need an owner with the best interests of this club at heart. we need management and ownership that can sit down and put forward a battle plan for the next ten years. We need trust in our club, we need the Liverpool Way back. We need to sit down around a table before a ball is kicked and talk, about this club, and nothing more. As I said, I don't want to get into the Rafa situation, rightly or wrongly my trust from management upwards has gone completely. I need a manager who has the club and the community at heart, and the one person who suits that is Jamie Carragher.
