Mourinho 'keen on Benitez's job'

[alunevans]

Theres been some great posts in this thread and special mention goes to Colin's and Aluns and this one. The bolded bit in Neil's post is incredibly important I think and is something that is very rarely if ever mentioned on this site. Why do most of us think that if we get x points this year we should get x+y points next year and so on until we are top of the pile?? Neil points out the Arsenal example which just goes to show how with the right balance, blend and progress of players, a team can jump several "levels" in capability and consistency in just one season.

The only thing I'd say to that is that it is very very very very VERY rare for a team from outside the previous years top 2 to win the league these days.

So it may not be incremental, but you really need to establish yourself as a top 2 side and we've still failed to do that.

i`ll wait and see what our league position is before i comment on that score, were only halfway through the season.

My point was regardless of stats (i.e. league position) I am happy as long as we keep improving with Rafa. In my eyes we have improved every year - on the field and off it.

If the board just keep there gobs shut, be patient and back the manager I believe we are in the very early stages of a dynasty that could go on for years and years.
Our 1st team is not as far away from being the real deal as some people suggest and in a few years we will have some of the most talented kids in world football getting ready for there 1st team breakthrough.

I am looking at the bigger picture when I say anyone other than Rafa in charge of Liverpool would be a big step down and take the club backwards in my eyes.

I said the same during the week fella,I reckon we're maybe 3 players away from being league champions.

If you gave us another top quality striker,winger and defneder we'd be unstopable.

That WAS what I called him wasnt it?

Almost, just a subtle edit

Incidentally, if Maureen came in, he would have to change his ways and his persona somewhat - one things for sure, Scousers don't do Billy Big Bollocks, he will be brought to earth and change his mannerisms to fit in with the supporters or be hounded out. But to be honest I think he's smart enough to adapt.

That's a great nickname for him.

Thanks.

but those players have to be available, will cost ****loads, will want to come to pool and nearly every other club would be after them

I never said they'd be available cheap,but money for world class players was promised by the owners from day one,where is it?

As long as Kilnsmann doesnt get near the club ill be happy why does this guy think he can get all the big jobs just because he managed Germany and does work for VISA fook off!!!

As for Jose if it happens it happens he's a top manager and we currently have a top manager so its win win situation for us

Id love if Jose was the next manager of Liverpool IF Rafa was to go whether it be sacked or he leaves which i dont think he should be cause i love the guy just sometimes he baffles and frustrates me

Thanks.

Of course, your's goes without saying!! Surprised you made the trip to the LFC section anyway KK!

I agree getting another top class striker and finally having a quality winger would be just the quality that we need and would let us challenge for the title finally

The owners and Mods asked me to post more often up here and try bring some sense to the place.

For example if you put Heinze,Dani Alves and Anelka,for argument sake.

I reckon we'd be EPL champions.


(They're my examples I'm not saying we should or will or.....................**** it!)

The one I would like to take over if they sack Rafa is Pako but that is probably impossible.

He know the club for obvious reasons, the players like him, he knows Rafa's tactics and so on.

But he's never managed,how do you know he can do the job?

Look at Steve McClaren,Brian Kidd,Sammy Lee........first class coaches,3rd rate managers.

I know that there is a risk but Pako is an excellent tactician and that is a plus point.

But if you don't like Rafa's tactics, why would you list Pako knowing Rafa's tactics as a plus point?
