New manager thread

[Vermilion]

Can't argue with that!

Saying that, out of the three less favourable managers we've been linked with, I'd rather Martinez over Rodgers or Lambert.

Yep, Agree that Martinez would be the most attratctive of those yes.

This whole episode appears to be slightly underwhelming, if I may say so!

Wow Infinity 2 has arrived!

I think it just comes down to who is realistically attainable. If the likes of Pep, Klopp or even Mourinho were genuine possibilities, then I'm sure even the most ardent Rafa fan would think long and hard about choosing him over one of those 3. But if you're picking from Martinez, Rodgers or Rafa, then its perfectly understandable why most would consider Rafa to be the standout choice.

In a nutshell for me

Gary Mac said yesterday, if Liverpool want to attract decent players, that don't come simply for the motivation of cash...you need a big manager with a track record.

Can't agree with that more, just don't see how we'd attract the big guns with Martinez?

I think the director of football will have some sway as well - if we managed to bring in someone like Van Gaal or Begiristain that could have some pull. Also the whole thing has a 'new project' feel to it which might help sell the club.

On top of that, we are Liverpool. I kindof subscribe to the school of thought, that if a player doesn't want to come to us then **** him.

We're going to have to be very astute in the transfer market this summer, that's for sure.

I like it!

It is obvious though, isn't it ? Any decent player will look at Martinez and say....long rebuilding job on for liverpool then, but with Capello the thinking might be more along the lines of....'He'll have em back in Champions league in no time'.

However, it all depends which road our owners are about to take us down, if it's the thrifty eye on the spending route...then Capello might not be a the right option, but with money to bring in certain players that he's knows, and is almost certain the returns he'll get from them, imo he could get us back up the league in no time.

But, the style of football would be an issue for many.

We need a manager that's going to spend whatever money very very wisely, we really need another striker, but one that can hit the back of the net often, but is wise enough to play well with both AC and Suarez, and compliment both, is a must for 1 of out buys.. imo.

Am I the only one feeling really positive about the future?

If i remember correctly didnt Rafa bring in Pep Segura and Rodolfo Borrell?? If so wouldnt they recommend him to FSG?

[Vermilion]

All the German journos i've heard since our search started are saying Klopp is going no-where anyway, so he now sounds a little unrealistic.

Always said publically he'll honour his contract, and is as happy as Larry where he is, and with more he wants to achieve there.

Been seeing a lot of talk recently about us "attracting the very best". To an extent, personally I reckon we need to be moving away from that a little. We can't compete with the Chelseas & City's of this world in terms of fees and wages, not even close really. Until we get that new stadium and get back into the CL etc, we are going to have to be smart in the market more than anything else. Basically doing an even better version of what Newcastle have been of late, but without the selling bit.

I'm sure that a "big name" manager may have some extra sway with a few players, but really is that going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things? If players see a club going somewhere, and still able to pay good money for players who perhaps still have to reach their full potential, then I think most achievable targets will come regardless of who is incharge.

It's exciting for sure, but I'm not sure how positive I am, more waiting in trepidation at the moment. Let's wait and see.

My heart is positive, my head is worried and just waiting to see who it is before deciding.
