    The managerial shortlist after GH

    I'm just reading Gordon Strachan's autobiography. There is a bit in it about how he was interviewed for the managers job after Houllier left.

    He said that he was on the shortlist of three but that he was told by Rick Parry that Rafael Benitez was by far and away the clubs first choice for the new manager.

    Who else was interviewed for the job and on the shortlist of three?

    Oh and why the hell was Strachan interviewed in the first place!!!

    Its gonna be Fernando and Gerrard if I get my way!

      Fat Sam didnt get anywhere. He was (rightly) told to do one as soon as he applied. You'll notice that from then on, any chance he gets he has a pop at Liverpool.

        I think Curbishley was definitely on there. Imagine we hadn't got Rafa?! Strachan or Curbs would have been our next 2 choices.....*shudders*

            His antics at Old Trafford cost him and he knew it. He wasnt offered the job even though he wanted it.

                    Hence the sour grapes towards Rafa.

                    Thought every ****er and his dog knew that Mourinho was our 1st choice before Porto V Utd.

                      I wanted him to get the job...(I'm not sure...but I think Alan Hansen did as well?)..his premiership sides always played great football first and foremost and where always entertaining...even it meant they got beat... and if he ever managed a side with any money I'm sure he'd do well... a no nonsense kind of manager.

                      His biggest mistake (when coventry where relagated) was depending on Craig Bellamy to score all his teams goals. I remember towards the end of the season on match of the day he said " If Craig scored half the chances he was given we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are now.." which i always thought was very harsh (but true!)

                      He wont be the last manager to make that mistake...If Rafa left he'd be my first choice...purely for the fact that I've never really enjoyed are football as much since Roy Evans left....

                            I heard we went after him, but he had already agreed a deal with Chelsea.

                            There's a Nong Nang Ning
                            Where the trees go Ping!

                            The mice go clang!
                            What a noisy place to belong,
                            Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

                              So did I That celebration really wound up the mancs so he was in my good books. Right up until the CL final in 2004 I thought he was the next manager... ah well never mind, we have to settle for Rafa
