Kenny or Mourinho for next season

[Red_Polo]

Says it all about him really. He is a very good manager but don't want to risk his CV. A very good manager that don't give a **** about the club.

Of course he will paint it out like he love Chelsea, Inter and Real but if you look at how he took care of them only thinking short term then you will discover that in real life he don't give a **** about them.

He might be an incredibly good short term manager, but he's a complete narcissist.

Dalglish to leave Liverpool - Mourinho agent claims job offer

Kenny Dalglish is to stand down as temporary manager at the end of the season after the club's owners opted not to make his 2nd spell in charge permanent.

A statement is due to be published at noon on the official Liverpool FC website to confirm the situation and to thank Dalglish for taking temporary charge following the exit of former boss Roy Hodgson.

We understand that Fenway Sports Group offered Dalglish a 3-year contract in February but while there were no problems in relation to the personal terms, questions regarding summer spending were left unanswered.

That contract offer has now been withdrawn and if super agent Jorge Mendes of the 'Gestifute agency' is to be believed, FSG have turned to his client Jose Mourinho.

Speaking from Portugal, Mendes is quoted as telling BBC Sport: "Jose is ready for a new challenge. He has made it no secret that he wants to return to England.

"There are many famous clubs there with a big history, big traditions, and yes there are options in the summer. But London is not the only place in England."

Asked outright if Liverpool had made an approach, Mendes replied: "Liverpool? An offer, yes. But there are also 3 more years written [into his contract at Real Madrid] first to deal with.

"It is between the clubs to talk but it is something that Jose would consider as he has a strong affection to them."

Despite the claims by Mendes, Mourinho isn't the favourite according to the bookies. Yesterday Harry Redknapp's odds on leaving Tottenham were slashed from 100/1 to 8/1 despite Fabio Capello's position looking safe. Redknapp is 5/1 to take over from Dalglish with Mourinho 2nd favourite at 2/1.

The favourite according to the markets is Rafa Benitez. He's a 1/3 shot which suggests serious money has been staked on him overnight and if that continues throughout the day, betting is likely to be suspended.

Dalglish's last game in charge for Liverpool will be away to Villa on 22nd May, a fixture that regardless of the result, will be an emotional day not only for Dalglish but everyone connected to the club.

Far too much sentimentalism amongst LFC fans. As always.

It has been the downfall of our club for about two decades. It has always held us back. We're soft, a sucker for the Romantic and at times totally deluded.

Based on experience, stats and recent achievements, who is more likely to lift the title with LFC ? Obviously Mourinho.

I am not saying that we CANT win the league with Kenny, just that we'd be more likely with Mourinho.

Well since we haven't got the biggest budget in the league, how does any of that rant to Jose? He is like on of the people on FIFA or PES who'll only be the highest rated team. Plus the man is a cunt and I despise him and cynical **** house cuntishness. I'd be sickened if that prick was ever with our club.

He is also a complete short-termist and provides nothing for the future.

Never want Mourinho.

Never...

Maureen is without a doubt a top manager but the way he portrays himself it's all about him rather than the club - I've had more than enough of seeing us in the news for the wrong reasons over the past couple of years, it's nice to have some values and traditions actually being put back into the club with Kenny at the helm.

On top of this Maureen is a short term manager who'd bring success I am sure in the short term but would he build for the long term future, I doubt it and lastly everytime I see Kenny as manager of LFC I can't see him as anything other than a winner and I can't imagine him not doing so given time.

I think the point is you may not get more with maureen so maybe winning one or two is what you want

others want more sustainable success

so am i right in thinking you would go for 2 in the next five years over say

5 in the next 10?

obviously the examples are hypothetical but they do illustrate the point i am making.

Kenny's 60 mate, I'd be surprised if he's here in the next 5 years let alone 10.

And on the same note the evidence of Kenny leaving a successful legacy is not exactly compelling.. if that's your argument to go with him.

There may have been extenuating circumstances for that but either way I think it's daft logic to be anti Jose because he may only win you a couple of titles before moving on. Winning those titles would put us back in great shape for the future.

Nothing lasts forever, make hay while the sun shines.


p.s I would vote for Kenny next season..

it was more of an argument for not having jose. I think that we need to look at some of the people mentioned in the summer and evaluate who gives us what we want. what we want is sustainable success not jose.

Fergie is 69 and going strong. Harry Redkapp is 64 - don't think age is the issue.

Absolutely. Arsene Wenger is also older than Kenny and neither him nor other 2 have any intentions of stopping ( I personally don't believe Fergie will be retiring soon).

Age isn't even mentioned when a manager/player is successful.

[DannyMan2006]

I think either manager would be a top class choice. I'd also be happy with Villas Boas. But in all fairness, Kenny has done wonders since he took over so I think he has proven that he deserves a shot.

If people say Rafa divides opinion, why the hell would we want Mourinho? He divides opinion more that Kenny or any other manager out there. What we need is stability after these few years of G&H. Take Mourinho and we go back to being divided.
