Get ****ed ... he ****ing reads them game like very few players do and if you knew anything about your own ****ing team you would know that also, its the fact that he has such a good football brain that many would say he has punched above his ability weight over the years, something I would not agree with,

Great man, great football player soon to be great Manager ... man of the people for sure

hey relax, we are all mates here. For one i didn't say he didnt have the ability for sure I said that I thought he might not have the ability, I dont think its fair for you to question whether I know the teamat all...

You'll get used to Nicey's outbursts.

that was downright mild from him.

Hiddink: Went to Chelsea for a season do his mate Abramovich a favour. Do we really think he'll go to Liverpool and try and jostle Chelsea's campaign?

O'Neill: No chance. I don't think we could afford to poach him from Villa. Plus from his previous manner in the Gareth barry saga, I don't think he's want to put himself in a hypoctitical situation. Would probably be best choice for an instant impact in the premiership. Would do well with the current squad but it wouldn't be pretty.


Bilic: Seriously folks, he's a top man. I think he can handle himself really well. I read V's point elsewhere about Gerrard and Carra not taking orders from him but I think they've reached a stage in their careers where they need someone just to tell them to go out on the pitch and do what they do best (particularly Gerrard). That wouldn't be an order, it's more a free of reigns which I think Bilic hinted towards in an interview somewhere. Wouldn't necessarily need a transfer budget and could get the current squad playing better with his hands approach. Also, please remember that Croatia had some horrendous injury problems during qualifying and before that were a fantastic side. I think he follows Liverpool so knows the current squad quite well plus he said he wants the job which I think is great.

Hodgson: Very short term. Could give us a consistent season to get us back on track.

Hitzfield: He's Mr Munich. Not Mr. Liverpool.

Flores: I couldn't give a detailed assesment on him (like above), but Zapater's post really does agree with my inkling from what I have seen. He always seems to a man fighting to save his job.

Pellegrini: Again the same. He had Villareal playing some fantastic football but this wouldn't happen over-night. another 4 year plan??? zzzzzzz

Rijkaard: Is an interesting shout and would be my second choice. My only doubt would be if he could work on a tight transfer budget.

Daglish: I just don't think we should go there. I think he should be an integral part of the new setup but not the man under pressure.

Roy Hodgson and Louis van Gaal will be the first two managers to be approached by Liverpool king-maker Kenny Dalglish.

A meeting at Anfield yesterday between the Reds’ legend and managing director Christian Purslow has outlined a shortlist of potential candidates to replace Rafa Benitez.

And the overwhelming front-runners on that list are Fulham boss Hodgson and Champions League finalist van Gaal, who enjoyed a successful campaign with Bayern Munich this season.

Dalglish will make discreet approaches to both men and then put together a package to tempt one of them to Anfield.

The Liverpool board feel there is no need to rush, given that the World Cup will dominate the next month and few players will be available until after the tournament.

But Dalglish and Purslow have decided that Hodgson and van Gaal have the perfect qualities to take the club forward after a poor season.

Fulham would mount a fight to stop Hodgson moving to Anfield. He was rewarded with a new rolling contract earlier this season which would cost Liverpool about £2.5million in compensation.

Hodgson’s wife Sheila is from Liverpool and the couple enjoyed living in the north-west while he was boss of Blackburn.

i think hodgson would do better on our budget, but i don't know if i can sit through another season of incredibly organzined, soul destroying football.

who would each one bring with him do you reckon?

would be nice if hodgson brought hangeland maybe even danny murphy. it would be silly, but of course i wouldn't mind dempsey on a small deal.

as for van gaal--don't know much. altintop?

[Exiled_red]

I would prefer van Gaal to Hodgson

[kris90210]

Van gaal would be an exciting one. Hugely arrogant, but the guy is a winner, and his teams play attacking football.

[Maxiedge]

Van Gaal would be great. I even would go as so far to say we could challenge for top spot

[Shaggy]

Van Gaal's not been at Bayern for two minutes, surely there's absolutely no chance. And how can we afford the likes of him? Contracted and all?

No I completely agree. Just thought he'd be great
