So who do we want/expect/hope?

[mark1975]

We need to revise the whole structure. While I don't put alot of faith in a DOF, I like what Germany did and what Spain and Barcelona did, in putting forward a vision, sticking with it and taking stock of the whole system from top to bottom with a view to having a successful formula implemented throughout the club/nation. Arguably like what United have done (to a lesser degree), in terms of their style and people settling into that formula, even lesser players coming in and not necessarily dragging the quality of the play.

It'll take alot of patience mind.

We have already spoken to AVB according to Knox Harrington.

Which reminds me of this 'leaked scouting report' by him

if the fans can see we are taking a long term approach (young manager/young signings) and they can at least 'see' the direction we are heading in I think they will show more patience. this isn't an excuse for not challenging more a 'bear with us, we're a work in progress'.

 

[gene hughes]

Knox Harrington surely has to log on now and cheer us up.

 

[Wilko7]

Nice of Chelsea to pay the 13m to release him from his Porto contract for us.

The video artist?

 

[spider-Neil]

AVB would at least be cheap

 

[Hansern]

AVB would be a good appointment

 

[FoxForceFive]

Steve Nicol. Look it up. Ten years managing in USA, links with FSG and they respect him, successful, and knows the club and its' history.

He did run a team for nesv in the us I believe.

If they're not spending any cash then it could well be right.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

This 'we've got no cash to spend' is starting to worry me.

 

[Portly]

BBC Sport have actually mentioned Benitez as a leading candidate. I am getting really frightened now.

 

[spider-Neil]

This 'we've got no cash to spend' is starting to worry me.

hence the reason we need a manager to develop players and a DOF to identify future stars.

Clear 2nd favourite with the bookies mate (after Martinez).

 

[Woland]

This 'we've got no cash to spend' is starting to worry me.

That's bullshit. They won't be bothered about taking money out of the club in the short term. Any new manager is going to need funds. They know all this. Hiring and firing is expensive. If they didn't want to spend anything they would have kept Dalglish.

 

[Insignificance]

We can take whoever is managing Cologne, cause he will be free on the market within weeks. This is sad.... I am extremely anoyd by this. But if I could choose I would choose non british.

 

[themn]

Stark.

 

[spider-Neil]

Stark.

critisism would bounce of him and we'd rocket up the league

I hope you're right.

If they do spend fuck all i'm going to buy some big fuck off hawks and release them over Anfield next time they come over.

 

[jexykrodic]

It can only be Capello, Mourinho or Guardiola. The new Manager must have a fantastic pedigree and clearly be seen to be an improvement on Dalglish and his CV. They will have to pay a fortune to get a 'mega' Manager.

Any 'up and comer' or 'with potential' candidate will not be able to live with the expectations; especially now the owners have sacked an icon.

The owners have really upped the ante. Money where their mouth is time. We now stand on a precipice. Could be exciting or disastrous in equal measure.

 

[Modo]

After reading a couple of articles regarding viable candidates I'm beginning to think that it's between AVB and Benitez.
The rest would require us to compensate their respective employers. Money that could be used to buy players instead.
Like I said before, if Rafa is called in for an interview, I think he'd do pretty well.

 

[Woland]

I hope it isn't AVB. He's a bit of a sap. And he's fucking younger than me and didn't even play football.

I mean if he gets the job it simply tells me that I made all the wrong decisions in my life.

 

[Hansern]

As long as he doesnt use the table and lamp analogy.

 

[red_maradona]

capello would smack of short termism and we'd have to put up with shit football to boot. if I had a list capello would be near the bottom a few rungs higher than MON.

cappello is the only one mentioned on this list who has the pedigree to come in and at the very least gurantee us a top 4 finish or even possibly win it within a year or two. All the other mentioned are massive gambles. It takes a king to replace a king and cappello is the stand-out.

I'm obviously ignoring mourinho, because I'm not on drugs.

 

[doctor_mac]

Benitez would probably get the best out of what we've got. It might also be true that he's learned from his mistakes. I think Rafa would give us a great shot at top 4 with little expenditure.


If we appointed him though (and I don't think we will) I think I'm going to defect to RAWK for a while.

 

[Mystic]

One advantage of Rafa coming back would be the rebirth one of the best stadium songs ever.

bleacher report speculates on replacements, no major surprises. interesting to see blanc mentioned.

He'd be the best economic option. Monayyyy !

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I don't want Martinez, Boas or Lambert. I'd take Rafa back before any of them.

 

[Buddha]

My wishlist:

Klopp
Bielsa
Rafa
Simeone
Lambert

I think they'll appoint Deschamps.

 

[Sunny]

I would but, even though Id like to see what he could do with money, he's still doesn't feel like the right answer. Especially as we haven't got any.
