Was it *fuck*.

They knew Mourinho was gagging to take over, and made the right call, because one is an ordinary manager, and one is extraordinary

Mourinho will last 2 seasons max. Rarely does anyone get longer. He may only last 12 months.
[/quote]

I would be very surprised to see last more than one, Will the mmadrid fans be happy with the football that was played in the champs leauge final?
[/quote]

Well seeing as he won it, they'd be a gang of cockheads if they moaned about winning Big Ears playing peasant football
[/quote]

Didn't they get rid of Del Bosque after winning big ears?
[/quote]

I think he got the sack because he 'only' won La Liga that season.
[/quote]

the reason del bosque was sacked was because they wanted to mix it up a little and bring in a fresh face. 2 league titles and 2 CL, bosque wasn't pushed because he didn't win things.
 
I wouldn't be upset with any of Pelligrini, Dalglish or Hodgson to be honest. Any of those are better than McLeish, O'Neill, Eriksson, etc.

Pellegrini managed to take the highest paid and most expensively assembled squad in world football to a grand total of zero trophies.

He's far better suited to making smaller, less well-paid squads over-deliver.

But still win no trophies

Hooray

Sacked in a year

Cheers

96 points is still their best ever tally. That's no mean feat.

If he was to get us to second in the league and playing decent football, I'd shout hooray and mean it.

JJ, would you be happy to have Kenny managing us for the entire season and possibly longer then?
[/quote]

Yes Keni, I would be entirely relaxed about that if that's how long it takes to come up with the right permanent appointment.

and who is the right, permanent appointment?

Nobody in the bookies' current list for a start. We'll know when we've taken the time to search for him properly.
[/quote]

Actually we should know allready. We should as a multibillion business were managers come and go be preapred for this, and have a short list of alternatives that is operating within the manner the club wants.

Much the same way we should have a list of preffered CMs if we loose Mascher. Or a replacement for Stevie ready somwhere. Or even for Torres. We shoudl be prepared for every worst scenario. That is the most responsible way to run a multibillion business. We should know what players we want for each position in the short and long term future. And we should have a very good overview of at least 10 potential Liverpool players in every region. That way we would be prepared and maybe even we would do some bargains on the way.
 
Previously you said you would be happy with Kenny only if it was a short-term appointment. Installing a manager for a season or the unforseeable future is a permanent gig. It seems like the attitudes of many have changed now that it appears Kenny actually wants it.

Which isn't happening now?
[/quote]

We seem to be restricting ourselves to those who happen to be currently available. A proper executive search would never limit itself to that extent.

In theory, certainly. In practice our current situation makes that difficult to achieve, because the ownership (who pick the manager) and the managership (who pick the players) are both in a state of flux.

We'll just have to agree to differ then. I certainly don't see a one-season appointment as a permanent one, and few caretakers are appointed for a set period.

Here you go...................
Bascome reckons that he has been interviewed but just hasn't impressed.


By Chris Bascombe
Follow me on Twitter
ROY HODGSON'S move to Anfield will be rubber-stamped this week, heralding a return to Premier League management for Mark Hughes.

Several candidates have been sounded out for the Liverpool job but Hodgson is the man they want.

Hughes has been out of work for six months since his dismissal by Manchester City. But he has been earmarked as the successor to Hodgson at Fulham.

The former Wales chief is ready to return to work and knows that a really high-profile job is unlikely to be available once Hodgson takes up the vacancy on Merseyside.

Following their run to the Europa League final last season, Fulham want to build on the progress made under Hodgson. And owner Mohamed Al-Fayed, who sold Harrods for £1.5billion to Qatar Holdings last month, is willing to provide a new boss with transfer cash.

Fulham have already signed Switzerland defender Philippe Senderos from Arsenal and are close to securing Aston Villa midfielder Steve Sidwell in a £3million deal.

They will resist bids for striker Bobby Zamora and believe they are close to tying him down to a new four-year contract.

That will encourage Hughes, who knows the Fulham chief executive Alistair Mackintosh.

The pair were together at Eastlands only for a matter of days, but Mackintosh is known to be a big admirer of Hughes.

Hodgson's switch to Liverpool is now little more than a formality. The 62-year-old could be in the post by next weekend.

I understand Liverpool interviewed several candidates, including former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, but decided Hodgson was the outstanding contender.

HODGSON: Reds' next boss
HODGSON: Reds' next boss

Chief executive Christian Purslow and Kenny Dalglish had talks with Pellegrini last week but were not hugely impressed by the Chilean, who was replaced at the Bernabeu by Jose Mourinho last month.

Hodgson originally wanted a quick decision from Liverpool but the club said it was prepared to take its time. However, England's World Cup troubles have sharpened the Reds' focus.

Should England fail to beat Slovenia on Wednesday and miss the knockout stages in South Africa, the chances of Fabio Capello keeping his job for long would be slim.

Experienced Hodgson has plenty of admirers at the FA and has made it clear privately that the England job remains the pinnacle of his ambitions.

Liverpool will head off any potential hitch by speaking to him over the next couple of days.

Hodgson is in South Africa commentating for the BBC, which is why an announcement of his appointment at Anfield is unlikely until towards the end of the week.

Fulham chief executive Mackintosh will then contact 46-year- old Hughes and hope to secure quick agreement on his return to the Premier League.

I'm not convinced. For one thing Bascombe's access has dried up big time since he took the Murdoch shilling and went to the NOTW, and for another the England job just might become available sooner than anyone thought. If that really is Hodgson's dream job, he won't want to sign it away by joining us.

I hope.
