New manager thread

[Gibbo]

I'm surprised Bielsa hasn't been mentioned (despite his lack of English).

Both Guardiola (no chance realistically) and Bielsa have the Copa Del Rey Final this Friday.

Bielsa has already ruled a move to England out I think.

Sure I saw that.

[Mello]

What you mean until we pay him £8m when we sack him next July?

Quite possibly true though.

Not unless opinions have changed drastically, or they've run out of other people to ask.

If we send the heavies around to everyone linked with us we could scare them out of taking the job, until only Rafa is left.

I hope AVB ends up Dortmund. Then it would be AVB at BVB.

Yes, I do still rue the fact that Wolfgang Wolf is no longer at Wolfsburg.

I used to know a guy called Dave Major, eventually he became Sergeant Major Major and finished the Army as Major Major.

True Story.

[Gibbo]

To me the fact that they would even consider Martinez over Benitez is staggering

Am I alone in not wanting Rafa back ?

No - there's about another 8 of you!

[el matador]

So AVB it is then.

There are a couple of managers I would prefer over Benitez, but he is a far far superior manager to Martinez, and if we are even considering hiring him we should at least give Rafa and interview.

Sadly it appears John Henry, Tom Werner and Ian Ayre share your opinion too.

Maybe you'll get the job.

@SiClancy

Press Association Sport understands by next week, #LFC could be in a position to draw up a final shortlist of possibly up to 5 contenders

[Fredo]

That shortlist is just a ploy.

[Baracus]
