New manager thread

So much speculation on next #LFC boss. Suggest nobody gets too carried away yet. FSG's 'hunt' very much in its infancy. No approaches made.

Ha ha, the thing is people keep saying that we shouldn’t get Rafa back because fans are split on him and too many fans don’t want him back. Why should that matter, if we are winning then who will honestly give a f*ck and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.

If we aren’t winning, like any manager he will be under scrutiny, but he’ll still have loyal support from the majority of supporters (to a certain degree) unlike any of the other candidates, so if anything this should enhance his chances.

Is there really a proper fan out there who wouldn't get behind Rafa 100% if he was given a second chance, despite their own personal views on the sunject?

Purslow says there are two obvious candidates - Capello and Benitez!!!

Moron!

We wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't sacked him!

It was mainly meant as a litlle joke. But since you anwered so politely :P

Hopefully everybody will get behind whoever becomes the next LFC manager, but I fear it will not be the case. Not even Dalglish had full support when his contract was extended this summer, which kinda indicates nobody will get it right now - or at least not for very long if the slightest goes wrong.

I think the major difference between getting someone completely new and Rafa is that the later will already have a large sceptical group going after him if things are not completely different from the start. Add to that the people who wanted Rafa sacked at the time and feel gutted Kenny was sacked now would be all over this. For the fanbase, and club in general, I personally think we would be better off going in a different direction now. A new manager I think would get more leeway this time (or at least I hope so).

Personally I will get behind whoever is not Hodgson and appointed as new manager. I think we would be doing disfavour (disservice? can't find the word right now), by going back to Rafa personally, and I think we will be in for a turbulent time if so. One of the best things when Dalglish was appointed to me was that we finally had a united fanbase again, and I'm really dreading if the club would split again, and for that reason alone I want us to start completely new.

I btw. voted for someone else, don't like that list except Klopp that I find unrealistic right now.

[Shaggy]

There is not a single appointment out there that would unify everyone. People have their opinions and that's fine, but it seems clear to me Benitez is the choice of the majority. I hope FSG surprise us but I'm not holding my breath.

[Darkon]

Clearly not, but the fanbase would initially be more split by Rafa being appointed than say Klopp, Bielsa or Rijkard that have no previous affiliation with us recently.

Unrealistic i know, but Klopp or Guardiola would come with little to no baggage.

As fans i think we'd give them time also.
