Takeover 'Imminent' (bbc)

[GordonGecko]

Excellent news.....looking at a few players too...nice

[Kaip]

He'll be at Real Madrid one day. For sure.

I agree with the stripy shirt person

[GordonGecko]

Not yet though...especially with new investment at LFC.

He's a manager so he has time on his side.

[The Glove]

Did they really apply? What deluded ******s.

I know people out there say that top clubs should be giving young British coaching and managerial talent a chance but clubs like ours can't afford to take gambles like that. The top clubs will always be after proven managers, and that's the way it should be.

Yep.

Strachan says he got quite far at the interview stage in his book, Curbs was second choice apparently and Fat Sam, well he got ****ed off at the first hurdle, which you'll notice suddenly became the time he hated us and takes every opportunity to take a pop at us.

[Flake]

I like Strachan. :dirtysecretshakey:

This statement from Parry about Rafa was clearly supposed to look like an off the cuff remark but I think he's obviously thought about what he's going to say. In a week where Rafa has come in for some criticism from the press Parry is obviously letting them and us know of Rafa' commitment to us.

[tomasjj]

I like Strachan. :dirtysecretshakey:

Aye, I like him.
Not sure if he is a talented enough manager though.

[kurtangle01]

At least if Rafa did go to Madrid Sven's out of a job...

[Dhav]

That is actually quite worrying. How did a former Scum player, and manager who got a club relegated that had been in the top league for 34 years, even get an interview for the managers job?

Glad to see though that Allardyce didn't even get passed the first stage. That has at least restored some of my confidence in the board.

It's called a cover story. If we overtly inteview the likes of Strachan we can cover over a covert tap up of Rafa

[Flake]

Aye, I like him.

Me either, just think he's a decent human being, not wrapped up in the usual horse****....

I really, really hope this is the case. Otherwise the DIC takeover can't happen soon enough, and they should replace the whole board.

EST`s very own James Bond

i think strachan is top, top manager...........for entertainment ust like barry fry and holloway etc. But Iam sure he aint talented enough. only guus hiddink would soften the blow for me, but he seems to be a ruskies plaything now

[Sir Bob]

The takeover looks more or less done then which must be good news. You can't help but think without it Rafa would leave sooner rather than later, particularly when Madrid next come calling.

Rafa will I hope manage Madrid one day but not for a good while. He deserves to manage them, they are his club and I hope he achieve his dream.

As for potential replacements, people get very one eyed in my view. Managers like Strachan, Curbishley & Fat Sam are excellent managers and to write them off as not good enough is a nonsense. On this criteria a Shankley would never get appointed now, nor a Paisley or a Kenny.
