King Kenny ??

[Slime]

Surely it doesn't come as any surprise. You simply can't live on reputation and past glories alone and had Kenny been at other clubs you could argue he may actually have gone during the season. I think it's a good thing in a way. Get rid now before he does lose the goodwill of the fans and get whoever gets it can have a rebuild. I hate to say it but mid table (7-10th) is all you can expect for a season or two until the new guy gets rid of a lot of deadwood and gets some players in who look like they want to put the shirt on and play and have a bit about them.

I like Liverpool. Loved the great teams of the 70's and 80's and its sad to see any top club in descent. They have been out of contention for a long time and I think City, United and Chelsea have proved you have to buy a good squad and that is where the difference has come. Liverpool have often lacked quality in the starting XI and have had little or no suitable replacements to cover injury and suspension. There are a lot of positions that need new players in (and cover) and that won't come cheap or quickly

How long did Hodgson get............half a season! Listened to a lot of 'pool fans last night, all moaning that KD wasn't given long enough. 'He should have been given one more season' a lot of them were saying, hypocrites! They couldn't get rid of Hodgson quick enough..................if your face doesn't fit......

In my opinion it's good to see a once successful club in descent, for two reasons. Firstly, it means that another club & fanbase taste success they otherwise wouldn't have, and it's always good to see different clubs vying for honours, and secondly, I find it interesting seeing how those failing clubs fare. Sometimes badly, (as in Nottingham Forest or Leeds United), and sometimes extremely well as in Man City.

Yes, buying a good squad is essential, that's what managers are given a transfer budget for and that is what Liverpool have been spectacularly unsuccessful at. They are the third highest spenders in Premier League history.................and for what?

Para 1 - This old chestnut. We were bottom 4 when Roy left, out of the carling cup, playing rubbish footy. We'd also had the "best performance of the season" after Everton drubbed us. Rumours of signing Carlton Cole, Robert Huth.

Para 2 - Agree in the main, it is nice to see others join the party. When Man U fail though, they will have a lot farther to fall than anyone else.

Para 3 - It normally always costs more money to catch up with the leaders, than it is to stay at the top.

Again,when Fergie goes, would you want Roy Hodgson????

Para 1. Fair point, I still don't think Hodgson was given enough time though.
Para 2. Couldn't agree more, the higher they are, the further they fall.
Para 3. Agreed again, however, after spending more than Man Utd over the last 20 years they are still woefully short. In fact they are further away than they have ever been!

You are assumning I'm a Man Utd supporter .
I think when Fergie goes he'll be replaced by either Moyes or Mourinho. For United's sake I hope it's Moyes. Mourinho is a great coach but not a particularly pleasant person.................too arrogant..............he'll believe he's bigger than the club.
I'll reserve judgement on Hodgson until he's finished with England.

That will be the 19th June 2012 then!

The press will hound him out after England lose all three qualifiers

Watch out for that massive iceberg ahead!!!

Managers like him are no improvement on kenny at all.

 

[Dodger]

Come on then dodge, who should get the job, and reasons why. 50 words minimum.....

Pardew,he's done wonders with a team of usually mid table ability so he fits the bill perfectly here.

Roberto Martinez..... Now that would be interesting.

Funniest thing I've read was a tweet by Iain Carter. Liverpool fan "the problem with Kenny is that you should never go back" Reporter "so who would you like to see takeover?" Liverpool fan "Rafa". You couldn't make it up!!!! :rofl:

An experienced European cup winning manager or a young manager who has just about saved his team from relegation 3yrs on the bounce I know who I'd rather have.

I know I found quite funny myself.

What is the feeling around Liverpool as to who will get the job ??

Id say most would be happy with Rafa , i think it could be martinez ? seeing as they went public about asking Wigan to speak to him ...

 

[Liverbirdie]

Its not going to happen, but would love it if it did:-

Mourinho,Guardiola.

It may happen, and I would be very happy with:-

Van Gaal, Hiddink, Ancelotti, Rijkaard

It's a possible and I wouldn't be too downhearted:-

AVB, Klopp

Its not ideal and would have mixed feelings:-

Rafa

I dont want them, but best of the rest:-

Rodgers
Lambert

Lovely fella, plays nice footy, but has had 3 good months out of 24

Martinez.

The lads I go the match with don't want martinez and would be happy to see rafa back. The biggest worry for me is there is nobody of football experience on the board or within the club to advise these two yanks on who to appoint.

These fellas know nothing about football and I'm worried were their taking advice from.

This is the most important decision the yanks will make so they have to get the right man in with a European pedigree and back him to the hilt with money and time.

Dave whelan broke the news, not LFC.

yea i wouldnt be so sure of Martinez been honest , ok they stayed up with some extra ordinary results , how much of that was the managers skill is hard to know , & if it was down to good management then wot d hell was he doing the first two thirds of the season ?

Nail knocked on the head. Some have said "he made a great tactical change, by going to 3-4-3" - Yes, but it took him 6 months to do it (or 21 months).

Flavour of the month just like Roy was.

I like martinez I just don't think we as a club can afford to gamble with a rookie manager.
