Without turning this into the same old bollocks that it usually turns into, Rafa didn't 'get us' before he came here; or if he did then he wasn't screaming it from the rooftopsOriginally posted by Riche View Post
So by that rationale, NO manager except for one who's managed us previously, can possibly 'get us' or perhaps more importantly, we can't possibly KNOW whether or not he gets usI saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"

Joking aside, I'd love Rafa to come back but we need a clean slate. We've missed that boat and now we should move on. Deschamps would be an excellent appointment IMO. If he can overcome the language barrier (though he's showed by playing and living in Italy for a long time) he'll be a success. Now, if he's indeed a serious candidate we'll have to ask how our fans will react to a frenchman at the helm, the last one wasn't a roaring success.
Thats like saying we should get a woman in charge because the last couple of men we had finished on lows. Maybe we should get a black man in charge because the last few were white? Soft lad.Comment

Liverpool legends Kevin Keegan, Steve McManaman and John Barnes have insisted that under-pressure Roy Hodgson can survive as Reds manager.
Wednesday night's 3-1 Premier League defeat at Blackburn could spell the end of Hodgson's short tenure, with reports last week suggesting new owners NESV were actively pursuing a replacement.
But Keegan, McManaman and Barnes are adamant the 63-year-old still has time to turn it round, starting with Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie at Manchester United.
Keegan said: "In one word, yes, of course he can.
"The opportunity comes at Manchester United to get back on track.
"It's a tough one. Liverpool are a big club, big expectation, underperformed over a number of years - way before Roy Hodgson went in there.
"The decline at Liverpool has not just happened in the past three to six months. It's been going on for a period of time.
"They've got to give him time but it's the one thing you don't get, as we all know. The clock ticks on the wall and managers don't get time.
"They thought he was right four months ago and he did a great job at Fulham, so they've got to back him.
"They chose him - they've got to back him."
Barnes added: "You know what football's like. It's results driven and pick up some results and the tide changes.
"As much as Liverpool aren't doing well now, if they put some results together, beat Manchester United in the FA Cup, hopefully, and then do well, things change.
"But in football, generally speaking, if you lose, you're going to be under pressure, particularly at a big club."
McManaman said: "The Chelsea manager, who did the double last year, he's under pressure. They're talking about him getting the sack this morning.
"Beat Man United, win the next league game, beat Everton, and everything's rosy again. Lose, lose, and lose and he'll struggle again."
The trio all agreed Hodgson should be backed by his bosses.
Barnes said: "I believe that all managers should be given support and I think that the biggest testament to that is Manchester United.
"They haven't been playing well but they have a manager who everybody respects, everybody supports."
Keegan added: "If you go back to when Mr. Ferguson took over at Man United, he had a tough start.
"He wasn't in too dissimilar a situation."
Hodgson appeared to alienate some of his own club's fans last week when he accused them of failing to give him adequate support.
Barnes said: "We know that things haven't gone particularly well and there may be people who are against Roy.
"All of the Liverpool fans that may be against Roy now, I'm sure that if they start winning matches, they will support him - because they love their club.
"That's what football fans want. They want success for their club."Last edited by Lecter; 06-01-11, 01:45 PM.Bob Paisley - "This club has been my life. I'd go out and sweep the street and be proud to do it for Liverpool if they asked me to."Comment
