New manager thread

[el matador]

i havent watched a lot of swansea but i know they outplayed us comprehensively.

alright... lets get behind the new man and hope he does well at anfield. he's ambitious no doubt and he's got some technical and tactical knowledge so at least its a start.

he doesnt have any substantial pedigree but we cant let that get in the way. I really hope he delivers the goods.

A successful season is anything over 65 points (but ideally 70) so for me thats the target for Rodgers and the team.

It is a bold appointment by FSG. Lets hope they know what they are doing. I must confess I know very little about Rodgers, and I suppose maybe that is a good thing. I am sure he will do his best to impress us.

Same here really.

The thing that worries me the most is that, in the absence of an appointment of a DoF, I'm kind of unsure as to why FSG went for him ahead of someone experienced. It seems a potentially weak appointment on its own. **** it though - there could be glorious times ahead! At least until we lose our first pre-season friendly 4-0 to Toronto reserves and are dunmped out of the EL by ****in Bray Wanderers.

Nah. Its a sensible long term appointment. They're all risks to some degree but this is the kind of appointment FSG wanted before we clamoured for kenny. So hopefully us fans don't **** it up by chanting Rafa's name in the first 10 games if results aren't great...

Personally I think its a shocking appointment, its a hell of a punt for our club to take, considering he was sacked as Reading Manager, and has only 1 year in the EPL. Surprised it was a 3 year contract, it boarders on the top brass being not quite so sure either, and see it as a short term work in progress, rather than the 5 year plan people like AVB have spoken about.

I know he has a footballing philosophy, but what concerns me more will be the quality of the players we will sign, this will be cruicial. I know we wont be able to attract really big names, with the lack of champions football, but are players going to want to come to play for him of the quality we need? I suppose only time will tell...

I hope it becomes an inspired choice, but if we get a bad start next year, the pressure will mount very very quickly...

LEts get some players signed, lets hammer all our opponents in pre-season, and lets start the new season with a hunger and style we have long craved for...

I'm going with a low decibel, reserved woohoo. Talking with a red mate in work and we both agree that there is something very impressive about Rodgers just as a man.He has an air of authority. I don't think it'll be difficuly for him to get the players' respect.

In retrospect, Hodgson has none of the managerial qualities that Rodgers has - personality, authority, a desire to learn and improve from great teams and coaches, a progressive and exciting football philosophy. Of course Rodgers has none of Hodgson's qualities - 35 years of acting the cunt.

I'm fully behind Rodgers and will be delighted to give him until Christmas before I start baying for his blood.

By appointing someone whose greatest achievement is promotion with Swansea City then it's clear FSG are simply preparing for relegation next season.

It's the only reasonable explanation.

Relegation? I don't think so ...

If he does well, we will be the strongest favorites for the 6th spot ...

They want to get a high draft pick next season.
