If Rodgers goes......

Klopp probably would come to us. Him or De Boer.

FSG may go for home-based again and I will kop for some flak for this but Steve McLaren could be an inspired choice. Or alternatively could bomb.

I'm OK with Rodgers though, he has to be given another year to put his team together.

How, in the name of everything that's holy, do you imagine Schteve McClaren could be an inspired choice?
 
Marcelo Bielsa. The only home grown name I can think of that is worth having a look at is Eddie Howe.

Wouldn't want Eddie Howe. He's doing great at Bournemouth but he didn't transplant well when he tried a spell at Burnley between his first Bournemouth stint and his current one.
 
Van gaal and De Boer didn't want to manage us so getting Simeone or Klopp is pie in the sky stuff.
It's just going to become a merry go round with the next manager anyway.
A few bad games and people will want him sacked so it's basically irrelevant who we get.

That's true about van Gaal, but - though I couldn't swear to it - I *think* de Boer gave a more recent interview in which he seemed to suggest he'd consider the job now. I hope so, because he's the one and only suggestion I've seen so far which I reckon would have a chance of working out well - including Simeone, who I'm afraid could turn out to be another Souness, ripping everything up to start again and throwing good things out with the bad.

Well De Boer would definitely be my choice if Rodgers does get the boot but he seems pretty loyal towards Ajax.
Maybe he's doing the right thing and learning his trade at a slightly lower level before he makes a move.

Too true. Picking Eddie Howe would be like throwing away the big Russian doll and keeping the smaller one inside. I don't think there's much doubt Rodgers is currently the most promising young(ish) coach in the country, and he came before he was experienced enough to come, so picking Howe would represent an act of indulgence surely even beyond Henry's gambling instinct.
 
I've changed my answer to Alan Pardiola. Here is the table since he went to Palace.

He left Burnley for personal and family reasons back then.

His signings for Burnley included:
Charlie Austin
Sam Vokes (20 goals in 13/14 promotion season)
Danny Ings (21 goals in 13/14 promotion season)
Jason Shackell
Kieran Trippier
Ben Mee

The last quartlet being regulars in the current Burnley side. Didn't Rodgers get sacked for being 21st in the Championship, having won only 1 of Reading's 11 home league games..

*P.S. Not advocating him as a target. As mentioned in my original post, he's the only worthy Englishmen I can think of offhand.

[article=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bournemouth/11244148/Eddie-Howe-and-the-amazing-story-of-Bournemouths-meteroic-rise.html]Howe is still only 36 but, against Ipswich Town tomorrow, he will oversee his 300th professional game. In the past six months, he has led Bournemouth to the highest league finish in their history, a record 8-0 win and a place in the quarter-finals of a major cup competition for the first time.

The once unthinkable feat of taking Bournemouth, with their 12,000-capacity stadium, from 92nd out of 92 clubs in the Football League pyramid in 2008 to the Premier League has become a genuine possibility. [/article]

Wrong thread mate. There is a "Football lines so wrong thread" down the page..
 
I'm surprised many of overestimating how attractive we are to manage.We had to convince and bend over to convince the Swansea manager to take over. Anyone who has won something, or is in the Champions League isn't going to consider us unless they are out of a job.

Rodgers deserves another season to get it right.

Flak? Don't be silly, I thought it was really funny.
 
If this was an alternate reality and you could put someone in and just watch dispassionately and if it didn't work rewind and have another go I'd love to see how Tony Pulis would do

Ayre would be rubbing his hands at the prospect of those special LFC caps he'd shift once old Tony started modelling them. There'd be none of that amateurish 'use your own' nonsense once he moved to a club as big as us. He'd be given a home cap, an away cap, a change away cap and a third away cap, plus a European cap.

And a post game 'suit' cap (possibly knitted).
 
So we can lambast another club legend when he 'fails' after 3 years? Best to just get people who have no past involvement in LFC.
 
Someone with a history of winning things might be worth considering and at a relatively high level would be nice (not the albanian 2nd division).

Interesting article but it suggests they weren't exclusively personal reasons, besides which I'd be concerned that leaving Bournemouth again might bring back bad memories for him. He's too good a coach not to have got some things right at Burnley, but we'll have to agree to differ on whether or not he'd be worth a look for the LFC job.
