The New Manager Thread

[johnly]

Next thing they'll tell us is that the takeover isn't ever going to happen I could not have met this with any less apathy

RIP LFC if hodgson gets the job.
Bye Bye ste, torres, mash etc....who wouldnt be pleased if he gets it. Why in the name of **** is king kenny not getting the job?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Cunts run this club and its getting worse every day!!!!

[TheElephantMan]

Thanks lads. I just hope the ownership **** is sorted out ASAP and the new owners sack him on their first day and give us someone with substance and who plays sexy football ( that's my dream anyway)

That's a bit harsh. If he's the new manager then so be it. He deserves a chance although I suspect he won't get too much sympathy if/when things aren't going well.

This isn't an appointment, it's a disappointment. Good luck to whoever the new manager is, it certainly looks very likely that it'll be Hodgson.

cant drink cider and will not go near it again, head over the toilet shouting for me mam and shes been dead ten years, god bless her,

Cider can do that. I don't go near the stuff.

I'm not averse to Hodgson. I think he can be the steadying hand we need at the moment.

Let's be honest, no world class manager will touch us with a bargepole at the moment.

Sorry but I don't think it is. I don't want him at our Club and hopefully the new owners will agree

Well I don't think many people would say he was their first choice, but it is what it is! It looks like he's the new manager, at least it looks like we'll have a manager soon. I'd rather have Hodgson now than nobody for a number of weeks and no preparation for the next season. Hodgson is only likely to be a short term solution anyway - 12 months or two years I'd guess? We need to come up with a song for him now?

Our situation is pretty awful but projecting this on to Hodgson who is at least a decent pragmatic choice with experience, both in general and of the PL, seems most unfair.

He isn't my first choice but that doesn't mean I think he is a bad one.

Like everyone I wish we had a world class transfer budget and a top level manager but the ownership situation precludes that for the foreseeable future. I don't really think that the futures of Torres, Gerrard or Mascherano will be decided primarily by the management selection. No matter who had come in I think Mascherano would be looking to go and the other two would need to see substantial investment to be totally happy to carry on here.

One good run in the UEFA and thats all you need to manage LFC? We may as well have Mclaren.
I was hoping that this was all a smokescreen but the BBC only report things when they know its a cert.
an fa cup, champions league winning manager sacked for hodgeson.

Great phrase. Is it yours? If so have you considered a career in composing soundbites?

Aside from the fact he cant win away from home, doesnt use young players, has a suspect transfer record and plays defensive football I think he'll be great!
