Your Favourite Liverpool Manager

[carheex]

Just you! You're getting as miserable as AnfieldAnfield once was!

Now you've gone too far!

[Dhav]

for me, that was possibly the most annoying chant i've heard from any set of fans anywhere!

I was watching the UEFA Cup Final v Alaves last night on ESPN and there was a guy in the crowd with a stupid hat banging a drum and singing that song, and I felt seriously embarrassed.

I voted for Joe Fagan. On balance he probably isn't the best manager that we've ever had but he is a favourite of mine. He took the job on not because he wanted it but out of a sense of duty.

You sir, are a true gentlemen!

Bob for me.

it isnt surprising that Fagan doesnt have many votes due to the achievements of others and the short period of time that he was there.

he did do a very very good job but being very good wont win you votes against greats.

A ringing endorsement for Houllier this thread. Instead of voting for our favourite LFC managers may be we should rank Liverpool managers to save Houllier some of that pride he treasures so much.

Not sure what the three votes for SOuness are about either

Maybe they read earlier in the thread about a Souness vs Houllier poll?

Shocking really isn't it? 125 voters and not one person rates Houllier as their favourite. You'd think he'd get a few as for some people on this forum, he was probably the first manager to deliver any half decent silverware. Just goes to show what an arrogant fool he was I suppose. I'd love it if he could see this by the way.

How do you mean....something like:

league cup = 1 point
fa cup = 2 points
uefa cup = 3 points
european cup/CL = 4 points
league title = 5 points


Maybe someone more awake than me could sort that out....?

He wont be anyones on here because most fans are fickle as ****. They'll vote for Rafa or a manager from their youth.

I voted for Souness because I didnt think anyone would vote for him.

Rafa as he is the only one in my lifetime who won the European cup

I've gone for Roy Evans - seemed like a really nice guy (not TOO nice, despite what some say!) and I felt so sorry for him having to work with houllier when it was obvious that he was slowly being pushed aside. I'll never forget his farewell conference with tears rolling down his face.
He didn't have a lot of money to spend during his reign, hadn't managed a club before and was given the monumental task of restoring us to our former glory. Despite the pressure and inheriting a shoddy/ageing squad he managed to get us 2 x 3rd place finishes and 2 x 4th place finishes. Had the rule changes been made sooner, that would have been 4 years of CL football, extra revenue and who knows....that may have provided us with enough to win the league?! We've hardly been closer since he left.
He's one of the most criticised Liverpool managers yet he had a really good league record - it was never good enough yet these days would have been considered more than acceptable.
Our style of football under him was really good and some of our most exciting games came under his control. Complete contrast to some of the dross we had to watch under Houllier.
He got the best out of Fowler, introduced us to Owen and had it not been for injuries, would have been credited with "discovering" Gerrard.

For achievements and building foundations I'd go for Bob Paisley.

A good man was Roy!

I've gone for Rafa, but this post above is the reason that Roy was a close 2nd

Roy Evans

I cannot believe 'other' has more votes than Houllier.

You must be younger than 23 then

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I can.

He shouldn't even be on the ****ing list.

Disgraceful.

[desertscouser]

I can.

Disgraceful.

I'm a little surprised you didn't vote for him. I remember how much you adored him.
