New manager thread

[Alex]

What have they done to show they aren't good owners? Spent money on players? Increased revenue? The ****ers.

Can't believe the gaul of those Americans. Think they bloody own the place or something.

[Buzzo]

We've already had that gag....

[red g]

**** Rodgers.

bidi-bidi-bidi

[Buzzo]

Who was it in this thread that said Rodgers following a game of flog with some ex-footballers?

Haha. What does that even mean ?

Please accept my sincere apologies in advance in case i'm mistaken, but if you're Craig h, **** off cunt and stay banned for at least 2 weeks will you. Enjoy the freedom. Let your hair down. Get a metal bar put in your knob. Go to hobbycraft, buy a few items and express yourself through the world of homecrafting. Become a pagan.

No im not Craig or anybody else used to post on Kraptalk back in the days when forums only had text as Spinal Tap . Havent posted much since then did post on some sites against Rafas sacking at the time.

We really kicked on since then havent we .

[Muddled]

Haha. What does that even mean ?

That sentence was badly worded.

Someone, earlier in this thread, mentioned he'd got on Rodgers at good odds to be our next manager, following a game of flog with some ex-footballers. It seems to be gathering some momentum.

I went through a few pages to try and find what I was on about, but I couldn't find the post.

Help me. Please.

Louis van Gaal in line for a senior managerial position at Liverpool

• Dutchman under consideration as club's new sporting director
• Expected to work with the new team manager when appointed

Louis van Gaal is in line for a senior managerial role at Liverpool. The Dutchman was linked with a move to Liverpool in the wake of Damien Comolli's dismissal as director of football in April. However, while it has since been decided to change the management structure at Liverpool, Van Gaal has remained under consideration for a revised role and is the leading contender to become the club's first sporting director.

He is understood to be keen on a move to Merseyside and his appointment could herald the arrival of several new faces at Anfield, including the successor to Kenny Dalglish. The club are also set to name Billy Hogan, currently the managing director of Fenway Sports Group, as the club's new commercial director. FSG are conducting an extensive search for a manager since sacking Dalglish last week and their ideal criteria of a young coach with title-winning experience would fit alongside a sporting director of Van Gaal's experience and expertise. That plan led to approaches for Jürgen Klopp of Borussia Dortmund and Ajax's Frank de Boer, both of whom declined the opportunity to meet John W Henry and Tom Werner, Liverpool's principal owner and chairman respectively, and to interest in the former Porto and Chelsea manager, André Villas‑Boas.

Villas-Boas and Roberto Martínez of Wigan Athletic are among several candidates for the Liverpool manager's post and whoever is chosen will, it seems, have to accept working with Van Gaal, who has won league titles with Ajax, Barcelona, AZ Alkmaar and Bayern Munich, plus the Champions League with Ajax in 1995.

The 60-year-old was due to return to Ajax in a director's capacity this year until a legal challenge from long-time adversary Johann Cruyff derailed the move. His last managerial role was at Bayern, who he led to the Bundesliga title and the Champions League final in 2010 before being sacked in April 2011. Van Gaal's work with Ajax and Barcelona undoubtedly appeals to Liverpool's owners as they conduct an overhaul at Anfield and look to imprint a playing philosophy throughout every level of the club. That strengthens his claims for the proposed sporting director role at Liverpool, although Van Gaal has not yet called time on his managerial career and was linked with PSV Eindhoven before their recent appointment of Dick Advocaat.

FSG's method of replacing Dalglish has attracted criticism due to the number of rejections it has prompted. Brendan Rodgers was the first to decline the offer of an interview but it is understood the Swansea City manager would not reject an offer of the job if it was forthcoming.

"When people ask me my credentials for being a manager or a coach I have one answer...

Bill Shankly.

They're my qualifications, the way I was born, and that's all the qualifications anyone needs in the game I'm in.

I didn't think it was necessary to take an FA coaching course.

I didn't think it was going to make me any better.

If I take a course am I going to be a better man six days later because I've got a piece of paper?

That's nonsense.
