New manager thread

[Gingawaria]

Okay then, a huge gamble. Either way I wanted a proven winner with a track record of winning stuff. It's a gamble but at the same it's brave.

It's a massive gamble.

It's also FSG's first real chance to prove whether they know what they're doing or not. It was fan pressure that got them to appoint Kenny, and if they'd bowed to it again, I'd have no doubt that Rafa would be in charge right now.

They've been very brave not to go with the popular choice and there's no doubting that Rodgers is FSG's man. I have a sneaky feeling we'll all be looking back on this in 5 years and thinking it was the best decision they've made.

Did someone just post an article that actually compared Danny Graham to David Villa? Errrr

[BootRoom]

That's not how I read it at all.

You can argue it's exaggerated in places but the picture as a whole isn't unrecognisable.

There's no doubt that we've got more than our far share pompous, self-important drama queens that like nothing better than jumping up and down on tv or in cyber space to get attention, but I think their influence on the success or failure of the Manager is overstated. Bodge didn't fail because he didn't have unanimous support from the get-go; he failed because he wasn't up to the job.

[Tadees]

No he hasn't.

He left when Dalglish left. Keep up to speed.

[CJ]

He left when Dalglish left. Keep up to speed.

no he didnt

you might want to slow down a little

[Reece]

He left when Dalglish left. Keep up to speed.

No he offered his resignation but it was refused, thus he is still there.

[Harv]

err, no. He's still here.

[Tadees]

Are you sure you're a Liverpool fan? Foolier? Lafa? Dinosaur?!!?

Enormously disrespectful.

Yes I am. Like I said, when it comes to managerial appointments we have been rodgered more times than a police walkie talkie.

Oh god, yes. He was terrible, although... If the fans had just put up with it then FSG may have allowed him to hang on until the summer before starting the very revolution they've now embarked on. That was mentioned at the time.

So it's arguable our vociferous reaction to Bronto means we lost a year. And I think in that year we have become a less attractive career move for many European coaches, although I wouldn't want to overstate the case.

Rodgers' advantage is that we all (ok, nearly all - BobtheCharmer doesn't like it) want his preferred style of play to succeed so I'm sure the fans will be more patient than we were, rightly, with Hodgson.

Clown.

This clearly isn't a Red, otherwise he'd know about Clarke. Someone who doesn't pay much attention. Bye

[Tribute]

I thought he handed in his resignation which then FSG turned down...

[Alex]

You have already used that joke. Please keep up to speed.

[cannotmakeit]

No he didn't, his resignation was rejected by the club.

Change the record mate, it wasn't funny the first time.
