The New Manager Thread

[Bender]

No need for the 'Lord Rafa' remark either.

No why not i thought he was held in high esteem here ...i mean for his fantastic donation to the Hillsborough appeal and the rhys jones fund .....maybe i got it all wrong then

[SB]

Wake me up when this is all over FFS

What are you going to do until then? Dream of Scando birds ?

Sorry Shaggy

[Shaggy]

oh come on mate, everybody is getting way too over sensitive on here especially when referring to Rafa. Its like he's fast becoming a saint or something.

If you of all people find the term Lord Rafa insulting we may as well all give up.

I don't find it insulting in the slightest but if he feels he can make snide remarks like that then surely he can accept being called an idiot. If you can't take it....

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is the strong favourite to become the next manager of Liverpool, BBC Sport understands.

An announcement is not expected over the weekend, unless developments progress rapidly over the coming days.

The Reds are still exploring options as they search for a successor to Spaniard Rafael Benitez, whose six-year reign ended earlier this month.

There are another two candidates in the running but former Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is not in the running.

Hodgson has remained tight-lipped over rumours linking him with the vacant Liverpool job.

**** that, LFC have gone backwards and with this appointment will go backwards even further. We'll be challenging with villa and everton for the foreseeable future. Club is in ruins

Can't wait for St.John to start calling him"the Englishman" when criticising his every move

So this rumour that the club is te be taken over with Pellegrini coming in as manager is obviously bolloks then, the guy who's sister works at Anfield rumour.

I will be behind Hodgson 100% if he comes in. I'm not going to slate the guy as he deserves a chance if he does take over that is.

I know he may not inspire confidence in our fans too much but it would be great if we could all get behind him otherwise the negativity will seriously have a detramental effect on everyone.

Maybe he will be an inspired manager for us, I'm sure he appreciates the tradition of the club and what it means to the fans so I'm confident he will want to do a great job for the club. At the end of the day no one knows what he'll be like as manager so it's pretty unfair to say we're going to finish lower than we did last year. I accept that that's possible but I find it highly unlikely, last year was a poor season but I'm confident we will be much better this year.

Err thats kind of the point you idiot.

agreed. Bender SHUT THE **** UP.

Sorry Bender, I just found that funny.

Mate, I'll always be behind the team and manager but if this appointment fails to deliver then we all have a right to question the appointment, fair enough rafa under achieved last year but if the next manager doesnt improve us then we're destined to be a top mid table side, we'll lose SG, torres and then the rest will move on. The owners are killing this club and its going to be a quick demise, without a sale in the next few months the club could take ten years to recover.

Unfortunately for Hodgson, if he takes up this appointment he will have signalled that he is firmly in the H&G camp, and I for one will not support him or them.

Will he bollocks. You're 62 and Liverpool Football Club coming knocking, would you knock it back on the basis of principles? Its his one and only chance to get such a job. You take it and try and make us great again.
