New manager thread

[danperkins]

What's people opinions on Frank Rijkaard or Deschamps? Two young, experienced and successful managers. EDIT: Both world class players too and would command respect in the dressing room.

I've been impressed by Martinez and he's every chance of ending up a top manager, but now Kenny has actually gone the reality of appointing him is scary. I want someone far more proven, someone who's won stuff. I'd rather not it be us who finds out how good Martinez is.

it has to be a proven European manager anything else will be a step down.

Actually its Paul Lambert who I think would do the best job, but same thoughts as above.

It's a new era mate, sorry. It's about $$$ and only $$$.

I know I know. I'm just an old romantic cunt...

Martinez probably needs a chance at a big club but he's a rookie and I don't think he'll get the respect of our dressing room.

Someone (Exiled_Red maybe?) said earlier that in the future Martinez might go on to be a top manager. He might well be.

But I'd rather LFC weren't used as his guinea pig.

That's my concern too I think it's too soon for him to step up to a club of our size.

Yup.

He's only 38 so he has plenty of years ahead of him to learn his trade and cut his teef.

I know I keep harping on about it, but I can only see Rafa as a suitable and realistic replacement for Kenny.

And anyone who gives it the "sentimental appointment, don't go back" guff can **** off and educate themselves.

We won't get Klopp, Mourinho or Guardiola. I can't see Capello moving to us (and sadly he's probably five years too old), I'm not too keen on AVB.

So we're left with Rafa who would demand no compensation, and then the likes of Martinez, Rogers, Lambert, Curbs etc. There's only one winner there for me.

Rafa or Villas Boas

[Daniel 7]

Klopp

Who?

I would be amazed if Rafa comes back, I think they will want a younger manager willing to work with an older DOF
