New manager thread

[Lecter]

Says man on interwebs

So you arent on the interwebs??

You on another planet??

Cant say I'm surprised

[kris90210]

Disagree because you dont sack someone unless you have someone better lined up

So you're saying you would have been fine with them going behind Kenny's back to look for a replacement? Come on mate, that would be seriously reprehensible behaviour, and you would be amongst the loudest on here calling them on it if that ever got out.

Fair enough, I did not say Rogers has not done a wonderful job but Martnez has to take some credit and many people within the game recognize that. I am not on the Martinez bus by any stretch but equally he deserves a look at, and I personally do not subscribe to this oh he's only the Wigan manager ... We are too big for him, but he that's me, it's my opinion, one which t seems obvious the owners share

sometimes on here we argue about things we often have the same opinion on

Think they were really worried about approaching someone, however discreetly, and it leaking out tbh before Kenny was gone officially.

I still don't understand why someone currently managing a "lesser" club cannot be successful managing a bigger club. It could be equally argued that someone managing a more successful club could be a disaster with a team comprising fewer superstars. I think we just need to find someone who fits our club. It seems odd given Dalglish lives and breathes LFC, but this time around it just didn't work. I would rather entrust an intelligent young manager with enthusiasm and something to prove than someone who believes that their CV entitles them to patience in spite of them being **** like the scenario when Hodgson was in charge.

imo, rafa, avb and klopp are the most qualified candidates, and they were all lesser club managers, at least 2 of whom were relegated before a big club took a chance on them. not saying it applies in any specific case, but of course they can be successful.

[Nicey]

I'm saying both

Wigan have fallen down the league under Martinez, if you are citing an ever increasing competitive Premier League then shouldnt that have been taken into consideration for Kenny also?

Rodgers was highly thought of when he was at Chelsea and was seen as someone who was instigating progressive and attractive football in their youth or reserve levels (I cant remember which one it was). If you knew anything about football you'd know that

Pardon my manners but I cant dance these days, old football injury that finished me up sadly

Is this the same Brenden Rogers who did so well in his other two manager jobs at Reading and Watford ? ... then suddenly got everything right at Swansea .... thing is I know I am right about this, you are just plain flat out wrong

[little dave hedgehog]

Agreed but then the worry is who is teaching them

Still as long is it isnt Nicey they wont implode

in that case, i think the fear would be that they would transcend this plane of existence and leave the club in limbo.

we played some fantastic football during the latter half of that season. When Rafa has the players he wants and has faith in it's a joy to watch. I agree that sometimes it was painful watching us during Rafa's reign, but when he had great players he orchestrated great football.

Agreed, but people are forgetting that that season was the exception rather than the rule. The oft quoted
4-0 Madrid
5-0 Villa
4-1 scum
etc, were all in the same short period of time, maybe even the same month.

What about the other seasons in the league, they were generally dross. But they are conveniently forgotten to make a point. Make no mistake, Rafa provided us great memories, but the league form in general was average.

Even Parry knew that one

Agreed. Applies to any business. It's happened when Rafa was sacked and now it seems, Kenny.

[Red_Polo]

Vonk, our league form since he left has been woeful bar Kenny's honeymoon period.

We hit bumps in the road and suffered slow starts, but pretty much every season we had good runs of form in the league where we played good, not attacking but balanced, football that made us all expect to win games. Whoever the new manager is, if we get back to that it's a ****ing result in my mind.

I agree with the sentiment too, but i really think they were aware of letting Kenny go in the correct way, it's been bad enough a reaction as it is, with blurts giving JH's missus 'real abuse' on twitter and the like.

They may have known their man, but could not/would not approach him for those reasons.

perfect assessment in my opinion, everyone is entitled to their version of the truth but it really gets under my skin when LFC supporters regurgitate the media sound bites.

For the record I remain a Rafa supporter 100% but I'd rather we get someone brand new with the same managerial standard.

[SB]

This isn't going to be resolved for ages. :ahhhhhhh:

Not so sure about that mate. I have a feeling this could be sorted within a fortnight personally. Hope I'm right of course.

Sensible post I still would like to see Rafa back, if not either an manager who has major lg titles to his name or a young manager with a heavy weight dof with a record of signing proven international level players
