i can't bring myself to believe there's any sort of secret takeover going on. you just know there isn't.
there's a hilarious article by the independent which states that 'mark hughes is said to be intrigued by the role'.
fucking 'intrigued' for fuck's sake.
fucking 'intrigued' for fuck's sake.
Yes, ha ha ha

Yep as I said earlier, we could look forward to a Spurs-Pompey-Liverpool Merry-go-round.

Could we add Deschamps, Jesus, Laudrup and Van Basten as well?

The more I think of it the more I reckon we actually need Jesus to get us back on track...
I'd be fairly happy with Redknapp. I don't think he'd come though - he's probably just trying to engineer a better contract at Spurs.

Fuck me we are linkied with some odd choices!!
MoN and Huges are the a massive concern if they are being considered as i dont think they have the pedigree, and would rather see somebody from SCM have a bash.
Redknapp and hodgson have proven to be good managers but not great and are sort of the mid order/table manager (i am referring to if managers where themselves ranked in a league) that we can attract. Surely we can aim higher to a manager of the likes of hiddink. I know that calibre is few and far between at the moment!!
Kenny is an acceptable short term choice!

at the risk of triggering a KHL Danish wankathon, I'd have to say Michael Laudrup seems a very interesting choice.
As do Joachim Löw and Ottmar Hitzfeld.
I'd take Roy Hodgson if it meant he was to step into the breach for a couple of years to shore things up while we search for another manager to bring us back to the top. (and if Madrid sacks its manager after a couple of seasons as per...)

Harry Redknapp has spent loads of money to succeed. He won't get that here.
[/quote]
That's one way of looking at it. You could also say he took over a talented but massively underperforming squad who'd been left bamboozled and demotivated by a highly-rated Spanish manager, went back to basics - arms round shoulders, boots up arses, players in correct positions - and took them from the relegation zone to the top 4 in 18 months.

Liverpool should consider Quique Sanchez Flores
So what`s next for Liverpool?
I`ve been receiving a lot of emails from readers on this site asking for my thoughts on who should replace Rafa Benitez at Anfield. I`ve got to be honest, it`s a scenario I didn`t really want to be speculating upon as my opinion that Rafa deserved a lot more credit for his work at Liverpool - and my belief that he should have been allowed to continue in the face of very difficult circumstances at the club - has been well documented throughout. My views have not changed on that matter.
But, if you are asking me for my personal opinion as to who would make a strong candidate to bring stability to the club, then I would have to suggest that Quique Sanchez Flores – the Atletico Madrid coach – ticks far more boxes than many other names out there, in my opinion. At 45 years of age he is a rare combination of youth and energy combined with experience (including at a big club, Valencia, where he oversaw two successive qualifications for the Champions League and took the club to a quarter final), he has experienced management overseas (Benfica), he is incredibly bright, is excellent in dealing with players and in building strong relationships, tactically very astute and – perhaps most importantly – is very good at turning things around, as he has done at Atletico Madrid. He would have no problem working with Liverpool`s back room staff – many of whom are Spanish and, what Anfield needs right now is evolution not revolution on the playing side. He would understand the systems in place while introducing his own ideas that would enable Liverpool to play the typically non-English football style that the fans crave. And he also speaks English.
Sanchez Flores did agree a one-year extension to his contract at Atletico Madrid very recently, but the lure of taking charge at Liverpool would prove too strong to turn down.
You only have to look at the fantastic job he has done in a short space of time at Atletico to see that he has the credentials to solve many of Liverpool`s problems: he took charge at the Vicente Calderon on a short-term basis in October 2009, filling the vacancy created by Abel Resino`s sacking. He inherited a struggling, lethargic, inconsistent club punching well below their weight with the threat of relegation on the horizon and was able to oversee a remarkable reversal in fortune, restoring belief and consistency to the side.
Atletico ended up reaching two cup finals under his guidance: ironically, beating both Liverpool and Fulham (Roy Hodgson another name linked with the Liverpool job) to win the Europa League, Atletico`s first major trophy since 1996.
There are even a few players at Anfield who would love to see Pako Ayestaran return to the club – a candidate for the perfect assistant to Sanchez Flores as someone who knows the players and the club to help ease Quique into the role? I know that critics will immediately denounce this suggestion purely because Sanchez Flores is another Spaniard; but we should judge the man not the cover of his passport – and since when, in the modern game, did nationality become a benchmark of credentials?
A couple of other names spring to mind: Gregorio Manzano has just finished an outstanding season with Real Mallorca, guiding them into the Champions League following a season which many, at the outset, predicted relegation. He is vastly experienced and considering what he has just pulled off at a bankrupt club: is there anyone better at working within a limited budget?
Or perhaps, if long term stability and continuity is the goal, then Roy Hodgson could bring his experience and expertise to be combined with a younger, assistant coach who could be groomed as his successor.

Interesting read.
Personally I'd feel more comfortable for someone who understands the Premier League, seeing as it's the only trophy the fans want.
But then there's no stand out candidate from anywhere, TBH.

It would be nice to have Pako back at the the club as his number 2 (knows the league/players).

Yup. Jorge Jesus is also an interesting character. Very impressive resume, on an upward trajectory in the last six years, albeit in a weaker league and plays some good solid attacking football.
Didier Deschamps is proving himself to be a good promising young manager. I would prefer someone like them to over the usual suspects. Although DMac has done a great job of convincing me that Mcleish would not be a bad choice ???

Am I the only one here who thinks introducing 'Arry (whom I rate) into a club in our current financial state might carry certain risks? 😉

I think I'm right in saying he's the only 'bootroom boy' that hasnt been a manager at LFC?
It could happen. Wouldnt really want it to TBH, but it could happen.
