I knew you weren't black Neil. Cos usually it's the other way round, someone who's 50 would look 28.

Not if you're black and live in Africa. You'd be dead.

I hope Pellegrini isn't on standby because Roy will certainly may get the sack soon and we mustn't make the same mistake (just going for whoever looks like the best option just now) that we made when we signed him, instead of giving the job to Kenny while we do a proper, professional executive search.

Fixed.

Yeah, one less option available it seems. Holding talks with Malaga as early as tml.
 
Which is a good indication of why we should NOT make a permanent appointment now, but put the King in as caretaker while we really do our homework on getting the right man for the job.
 
If 'Aarry was appointed manager tomorrow, how would you feel? He's done rather well, don't you think..
 
If he brought Bale and VDV with him, then that'd be great. I'd even be happy when he inevitably brings Jamie in as coach.

Hmm I don't get it. Mourinho would be the only one that absolutely stands out. The rest are all good managers. Each a risk

Meh. There's hardly a queue of big clubs beating a path to his door.

Big clubs as in rich clubs or clubs with big talents?

There is obviously not a stereotype manager who will fit all clubs whatsoever. I.e. Roy and Fat Sam are small club managers. Good at getting mediocre teams play a few good games a season. Others are good at having a talented squad play well. I believe Pellegrino is a man for that. I think our profile would match his profile well. He has his integrity, he is well balanced, he has the experience and stomach to deal with huge stars (I know they didnt win La Liga, but they scored a hell of a lot of goals and beat the club record for points while he played the presidents outcats instead of his hyped buys). In a tough market the old Chilean would be a good match for a "BIG" club like ours.

Every new appointment's a risk, even Mourinho to an extent. What I would like the club to do is minimise that risk by doing a proper executive search, the same way any large commercial concern would when appointing an MD or a CEO. That way you have the widest possible field to choose from AND you've looked in depth at all the possible candidates before you get as far as the interview.
 
Considering he was interviewed and HOdgson was STILL seen as a better option, I'd think he's a non-starter.

First of all, I presume you mean Pellegrini, not the clapped-out Argie who went to Inter with Rafa. 😉

Secondly, I agree with your summary of different types of manager but that's one big reason why I'm dubious about the fit between LFC and Pellegrini being the right one. In a nutshell, show me what he's won. There are aspects of Roy's CV (calm approach, international experience) which suggested he might be an OK appointment too, and look how THAT's turned out.
 
Agreed. Should have been appointed instead of Roy.

But he doesn't fit in with the young up and coming manager we're all talking about, so I don't think he would have got the job regardless now.
