New manager thread

[Exiled_red]

Because they are two different jobs, with different pressures and expectations. That line of thinking it often trotted out about the likes of The Moysiah: "Oh he's done all this with no money, just think what he could do with millions at a big Club". It's comparing apples to oranges.

Knows a lot that Duncan Jenkins, everyones source of info.

I am sure Steve Clarke was told to give some alternative names to Henry/Warner during that baseballmatch over there. It would give sense - unless he was offered the job and they had to wait for an answer.

Interesting.

Where'd you hear this from?

AVB now favourite. Is this bookie **** indicative of anything or are they merely trying to stimulate interest in this particular market?

[Exiled_red]

Guardiola is who i think will take the job.

I thought he was taking a break from football? - So that's not going to happen.

[JohnDoe]

I really don't want AVB. There's something about him that repulses me.

[colin85]

I'm going to find a bookie and stick £20 on Guardiola

I want Rafa. And we all know that Rafa would jump at the chance.

But I know they won't even consider Rafa. I think a lot of people at the club have 'poisoned' FSG against Rafa. Also, Rafa would have a problem working under a DOF. And I suspect Rafa's financial demands (i.e. his salary) might be too high.

There are so many things working against Rafa ever coming back. Yet we all know that working under decent, competent owners he'd do well. IMO, he did amazingly at Liverpool in spite of Moores, Parry, Hicks, Gillett, Purslow and a limited budget.

I probably agree.

But I also think that Rafa would work for free almost to finish off what he started.

I don't see why people are considering Martinez to be a bad appointment. If he can get Wigan beating the top teams then think what he could do with us? He wasn't having much success early season but then switched to the 3-4-3. The reason he has never been able to get Wigan higher up the table is simply because they lose key players at the end of each season and he has to teach a whole new group of players his philosophy. With stability and the same group of players each season I think Martinez could make Liverpool into a good force.

I don't think it is as simple as that. I am not totally averse to Martinez but his record is not that much more impressive compared to Bruce or Jewell. In fact Martinez's best does not stack well against Jewell's best. He has never had a positive GD. Something to ponder about before jumping on the Martinez
bandwagon.

What he started has been decimated

the scouse pound has been all over it I got 12's come on AVB

[chadrtc]

I'm absolutely convinced it's Martinez and they'll move quickly for him... I'm not keen at all.

Problem is Ian Ayres appears to have a lot of influence

Been told Martinez, Lambert, Rodgers & Rafa aren't even on the new #LFC manager shortlist.
