Actually, I did forget about Sammy's experience at Bolton. But I don't think that disqualifies him. He had an unenviable task of following Big Sam after he spent 8 years molding the team in his image. Unless he was prepared to mimic Allardyce's methods, it was bound to be a painful transition. I believe situation is different now.

As for Kenny, I know how much everybody respects him around here, but I have to say, I am very distrustful of the ability of a manager who hasn't managed for 10 years. Just like I wouldn't pick Maradona over Lucas in 2011. To me Sammy is a much safer bet.
 
Jesus fuck, it was a joke, because RedHorizon said it with a degree of seriousness in another thread.

HodgePodge has managed for 35 years, but looks like he has never managed a fucking team in his life.

How can you be distrustful of a manager who has won the League 4 times and 2 FA Cup, and won the League with 2 different teams?

Do you think he's forgotton what to do? I don't understand it at all?

Plus he would only be holding the fort for less than half a season.

Kenny put his name forward for the managers job at the start of the season, if HE believes in himself, Its good enough for me.
 
Kenny is the best choice as caretaker, and it isn't just for football reason. This club needs a lift, and the King's appointment would give us just that.

Imagine having Kenny in the dugout at Old Trafford and knocking the manc cunts out of the cup. That could be enough of a confidence injection to save our season.
 
I love rafa but it's a none starter. if he were to come in and do well then cunts like me would insist he remain in the job making it difficult for the yanks to get rid of him.
 
Rafa would not be an interim boss, he would need the backing to sort out the dressing room including getting rid of the trouble makers and underperformers, something i'm convinced he couldnt do because of the overlord Purslow

Kenny needs to be appointed ASAP and take some fighting spirit to old trafford

Rafa should apply for the LFC job and it'll be obvious he's one of the most qualified for it. If the board choose some unknown, inexperienced manager then on their head be it unless they find a better candidate than Benitez which is highly unlikely.
 
Because a caretaker is just that, a stop gap until the next targeted manager is free to join.

exactly. it's a poisoned chalice because you are eventually removed even if you do well.

O'Neil and Rafa won't accept only being an interim.

Kenny would.

[/quote]

Are we sure of that though?
Happy to be proven wrong, but he wanted the job full time when Rafa 'left' so who is to say he would be happy as a stop gap until the next manager comes in.
 
I think Kenny would for the sake of the club and also if he does well it would be harder to remove someone like him

if he does well there will be a lot of support for him to keep it
 
nesv have said from word go everything they do is for the long term. I am 100% certain the reason they haven't pulled the trigger already is because of the implications of a interim manager and how it impacts the new long term manager.
anyone who thinks this isn't a big deal is crazy but it has now reached the point where nesv HAVE to pull the trigger regardless with how it effects the new guy.
 
And why not let him Rebel?

I'm not sure why anyone is of the opinion that Rafa won't accept an interim appointment. Has anyone asked him?

I honestly fear Roy will get us relegated if he isn't fucked off.

I don't think he did, Marq. On the contrary, the reports I remember reading at the time said he specifically wanted it on a caretaker basis until the next permanent manager was appointed.

O'Neill as interim. I think he would make us hard to beat and restore a bit of confidence. Also proven in the past he can get the best out of some average players.
[/quote]

He usually works on rolling contracts doesnt he. Wouldnt be a bad call til the end of the season and then based on what he does who knows, maybe another rolling one year deal. Jesus, anything better than what we have at the moment!
 
O'Neill does work on rolling contracts, but his expectation is that the contract will indeed roll on if things have gone well and everyone's happy. As others have said, I can't see him accepting the gig if he knows for sure that he'll be replaced in the summer come what may.

His brand of football isn't that much better to watch than Roy's either, though he'd fire the players up about 1000% more.

True about the football, but unless its someone already at the club then im sure anyone coming in to take up an interm position would be wanting to show that he has what it takes to be considered for the job full time!
 
Has to be Dalglish.

If he doesn't want it, let that Rangnick chap have it 'til the summer.
 
will rangnick want it for just the interim.
