Didn't Rodgers cut his teeth at Chelsea....could the fact that Clarke is still here be relevant to him being favourite now for the job? Would be gutted if he got the job, really would prefer Martinez to him.

Well, since those two things are quite different, please tell me if Comolli was sacked because he has identified the wrong targets, or because he has paid too much for them?Originally posted by Mattshark View PostComment

I can't imagine he hasn't been approached for other jobs, I think he has said as much but there wasn't anything that matched what he was looking for.Originally posted by dom9 View Post
Chelsea were supposedly in there too.
I do find it mystifying that the last manager to finish ahead of the Spanish Old Firm, a proven Champions League tactician and team builder is being overlooked. (By us as well as other teams)
Does anybody really believe that the managers we are being linked with are an upgrade on Dalglish, let alone more qualified than Rafa Benitez?Comment

He's a no season wonder. They've been barely keeping their heads above water.Originally posted by Shaggy View Post He's not a one season wonder in the Prem for a start.
At least Rogers got Swansea playing some cracking football from the get go.

Well, I'm not sure he's top of the list of all the other clubs. PSG, Chelsea, for example.Originally posted by Daniel 7 View Post

Ok, I'll rephrase. If he had no prior involvement with Liverpool, I can't imagine FSG would be ignoring his availability.Originally posted by dom9 View PostComment

I know we still have players here signed by Rafa, but that is not really relevant IMO. At most clubs players are there for longer than a manager and independent of just one.Originally posted by Macedonian_Red View PostYou know how many of these players were signed, promoted or at least scouted by Rafa?
We already have a pretty solid first team squad, and a very solid Reserves/Academy setup ... Most of our players, both senior and junior, were signed, promoted or at least scouted by Rafa and his staff ... People running the Reserves/Academy were hired by Rafa ...
Why should we start from the clean? The idea is pretty ridiculous ... It seems to me like that urge that every woman gets every spring, to move and re-arrange the furniture in the house, with no apparent reason ...
I know a lot of fans want Rafa back, but if the owners see a different future, and want's to start over and likely want's to play a different type of football than what Rafa offers - then why interview him just to satisfy an external demand? That is really my main point, I havn't seen a good argument as to why they just have to interview him if they see things differently right now.
And your post doesn't really answer what traditions FSG are violating by choosing another manager than one sacked just 2 years ago as you said? What are they doing so wrong exactly other than keeping things behind closed doors?
In my opinion starting a new is a very good idea considering what the club have been throuh the last 3-4 years.Last edited by Darkon; 29-05-12, 12:33 PM.Comment

I think the way it works is thus;Originally posted by Macedonian_Red View Post
Manager: Identifies the role that requires filling.
Scouts: Find the best players possible for the role described by the manager
DOF: Decides on the best suited for the club, possibly without the managers input (don't forget, the manager has already identified the type of player he needs)
DOC: Goes out and attempts to negotiate a deal for the players picked.
This way, the manager can focus solely on the team and what it needs, can identify areas that need filling and then leave the rest of the legwork to other people, leaving the Manager free to manage the team.
Does that make sense?

Keeping Wigan in the premiership year after year, with the players they have and the players they sell, is a wonder in itself tho, surely?Originally posted by Harv View PostComment
