Stoke Post Match...

[badpiggy]

It's one thing having a tour around the ground chatting to people, it's another spending your evenings watching tapes of your next oponents and analyzing pro-zone, to working out the latest dietry regime to get the maximum potential out of the fitness of your players, and choose your team accordingly.

(Not that Roy does it ffs...)

It just seems like some fans think it would be enough for a LFC legend to give rousing speeches to get us moving again. Totally share in the frustration there is with Roy but some on here seem to be one thread away from a totally hysterical "NESV Out" thread.

Only problem I see with appointing Kenny as caretaker is that he is completely different to Roy. Whilst long term this is a positive, short term it means players having to adjust to a different system and s chane in system can take time to get right.

I don't think motivation would be a factor. Any player refusing to play for Kenny would be best advised to never set foot in Anfield again.

IMO Kenny not being in football management is the biggest waste of talent around.

Roys methods from his own mouth are 35 years old. So Kennys from 15 years ago - that won the title, can't be anymore out dated. The fitness stuff is what you employ other people for.

Whereas our current plight IS good....?

No it isn't but perhaps they think it would be better and a more stable move by making the next appointment a permanent one rather than a temporary one.

we need to make sure the next appointment is the right one and one for a minimum of 4-5 years.

bewildering people are on NESV case with less than a month at the helm, almost as if the previous regime and all the harm they created has magically disappeared !

None of the above gives a reason why KD couldnt be a caretaker manager while they find the 'right' appointment.

I honestly dont get it - it seems like people's only options are keep the dinosaur, or rush into a permanent appointment. It's not like there isnt a 3rd option.

[DannyMan2006]

People only pissed off because the delay is costing us our chances of 4th. If we get 4th we keep our best players and can recruit a higher standard of player.

I agree and have no problem with the King taking over in the short term, it really can't be any worse than what is currently happening but it is more than just changing the manager isn't it, we'd need to change the other duffer in the first team coach and KK would need to see first hand what works with what we've got.

We are in a bit of a nightmare position at the moment I suppose, we all know Hodgson needs to go but NESV it seems are still picking up the reigns in terms of what needs to be done and christ knows what other issues H&G left to work out.

Why do you say appointing a new manager would be "rushing" and appointing a caretaker manager isn't? A caretaker manager is still a manager with the exact same responsibilities. Given that you - rightly - think that Hodgson's tenure is catastrophic, what actual practical footballing reasons are there for appointing Kenny other than he's a legend and it would give the lads a lift?

[5europeancups]

For me, here are the dangers of appointing Kenny:

1. There's a strong possibility of no real improvement to our play or results as he hasn't managed anyone in ages.

2. That potential lack of improvement in our play or results could deepen the malaise that's already clearly afflicting our players as it would then appear that not even a legendary former player/manager can lift or improve them.

3. There's potential for seriously tarnishing a legend's name and reputation. Where could he go in the club then? Just keep "promoting" him out of harm's way?

Of course he might do better in the interim than Hodgson but that "might" would be a big punt. I can't say at this present time and in our present state I wouldn't feel a bit of a thrill if Kenny was appointed tomorrow morning, but I'd be worried fairly soon after.

with your point number 3 you have hit the nail on the head.

Because maybe a caretaker manager isnt permanent, whereas a 'standard' manager is? Far easier to get rid of a caretaker who doesnt have a longterm contract.

The fact that Kenny knows what a winning mentality is, knows everything about LFC and would indeed command the respect of the players, is plenty of reasons enough.

Because we all know that when getting a new manager in we have to look long term. So it would be right to wait for the right man. Whether that is to identify or otherwise. Bringing in a caretaker is a short term role and as such only a short term view is needed.

I want to know what people will think when they realise Hodgson will still be in charge next season. Give me decent odds and I'd put money on Roy still being here next year. NESV are ****ing clueless I'm sorry to say. They know nothing about football and seem to blame everything on Rafa, just like the media.

I'm sorry to say the fools have took their judgements of the club by Reading the ****ing papers. John Henrys quotes clearly back Hodgson - where he goes on about it not being Roys fault as he didn't put the squad together. I don't care what nationality he is, anyone who has that opinion is a grade A mug.

Whilst the bull**** stories and rumours of Henry searching the globe for a new manager are nice, that is exactly what they are - bull****. Anyone who thinks otherwise, or think NESV know what they're doing, I beg you, think again. They are clueless as to how bad Roy is and how much of us being bad is Roys doing.

I hope I'm proved wrong and NESV have some kind of grand master plan, but I very much doubt it. I think we should stop kidding ourselves they have a clue.
