New manager thread

[Nicey]

FSG are never going to please everyone. I'm happy with the job they have done so far, and the manager search seems to have been exhaustive. They clearly know what they want.

However, whatever they do seems to never be good enough to some people. It probably never will.

[Vermilion]

Once again money and TV change football fans beliefs that football is no longer about winning things (which is the whole point of something competitive) but just take part and aim to finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or even 6th...

and i ****in hate it!

I dont trust FSG, I don't trust any business lead consortium, but whoever they appoint gets my backing.

To date they have said nothing, the way it should be all talking has been done by other outside agencies so well done to them for that.

But they have actually done little yet to justify the fans backing, both on transfers and the stadium project they have deceived to flatter.

I agree.

While some (including myself) should be looking at the long term (as FSG "appear" to be) we live in an impatient world. Maybe we are experiencing growing pains at the moment but I cannot help but feel this DoF/Manager combination is going to be an absolute mess and set us back even further from square one.

Thing is, as much as I am generally disappointed with FSG (mainly due to the stadium issue) I think JWH is a genuinely nice guy and I do kind of trust him. I just hope he does not let us down.

So new manager?

As said earlier take it to the FSG thread, I will delete further posts not on topic.

after reading a bit more into BR I will be more than happy if he comes in with someone like LVH as the DoF.

If FSG wanted a young dynamic coach, they couldn't have done any worse than Deschamps, who has demonstrated at a young age that he can win trophies. My first choice would be Van Gaal. His CV speaks for itself and he is available.

Article from Bascombe.

Key bit from it which I hope isn't true is this:

Another significant factor is Liverpool’s cooling in interest in Dutchman Louis van Gaal, whose chances of an Anfield role have receded significantly as FSG have continued their structural review. It was swiftly established Roberto Martínez and Rodgers would refuse to work under Van Gaal if he was sporting director.

If it is Rogers someone else needs to control transfers

He spent 1.75m on Leroy Lita FFS

WTGOR you are being very pedantic - the role of FSG is part of the whole club structure and Manager recruitment process, so it is fair game they are discussed here.

So, to stay on topic.... Brendan Rodgers.

??

And perhaps so, but the last 2-3 pages have turned in to a pro/anti owners discussion, stadium, Dalglish and have nothing to do with the recruitment of our new managers, profile etc.

I just want it back on topic about our new manager, and recruitment proces is fine. Most people come to this thread for news on the manager front and not for a longer discussion about who is happy with our owners and who is not

And yes Brendan Rodgers FTW

If you don't know where you are coming from, you will never know where you are going ... This club was built on it's proud history and traditions ... Those are the foundations of this institution ... You remove them, and it would crumble down like some house of cards ... If we sell our principles for the quick buck, we become the poor man's version of Chelsea and Man City ... What is next? The cheer-leaders? Plastic flags? Is this the future you are talking about?

Please somebody make this Mace's avatar.

Rogers and Martinez do not have a proven track record at the highest level. Nobody knows whether they could manage a larger club, nor do we know whether they can handle the expectation and egos at a big club. That's obviously presuming we are still considered a big club. Obviously we are not going to attract Mourinho or Guardiola, but realistically speaking my order of preference would be as follows: 1. Van Gaal 2. Deschamps 3. Klopp 4. AVB 5. Rafa 6. Jol 7. Lambert 8. Rogers 9. Martinez.
