I can (and I suspect it's too trivial for Dantes) but I can't be bothered.
I don't know why I replied as well.
So who do we want/expect/hope?

Those aren't the only options. I'd sooner bring in a manager with experience and let him make a 3-5 year plan.
Are you writing these yourself Livvy?

No contact with Capello or Deschamps

Liverpool have had no contact with either Fabio Capello or Didier Deschamps, according to ESPN sources on Tuesday lunchtime.

• De Boer rules out Liverpool
• AVB won't rush decision
• Rodgers rejects Reds
Speculation had been growing that Capello was wanted by Fenway Sports Group as the successor to Dalglish, with contacts close to the former England coach claiming he had been approached.
However, ESPN has been told that there has been no official contact with Capello and that there has also been no approach for Marseille boss Didier Deschamps.
Roberto Martinez has been given permission to speak to Liverpool by his club Wigan, while Brendan Rodgers of Swansea City turned down the chance to meet with Anfield representatives. Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp and Ajax manager Frank de Boer have been appraoched but will stay with their current clubs.
Andre Villas-Boas has also held meetings with Liverpool and is on the list of managers due speak to have a second interview, and it is expected that they will be joined by at least one other candidate. FSG is yet to meet any prospective new manager, with managing director Ian Ayre conducting the initial stages of the recruitment process.
A source told ESPN: "The long list of candidates is now narrowing down to a workable number who are likely to go to Boston, although there is of course a chance that the owners will come over here to see the candidates."
It was reported that an agent representing Liverpool did approach Capello before the Champions League final to enquire as to his interest in the position, and that he had since held preliminary talks, at which he expressed a desire to be considered.
Liverpool fan group Spirit of Shankly, which led the protests against former owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, has written to FSG to express its concern over the way the club is being run.
"It may be that yourselves and the board of Liverpool Football Club have a vision you are working towards," SOS's letter read. "It may be that you have implemented a strategy to deliver that vision and decisions are being made to work towards this.
"However, from the outside, where supporters find themselves once again, it looks like a football club in disarray. Confusion and chaos seems to reign and no one is coming out of this with much credit, particularly the football club's image and brand.
"We need clear and pro-active communication, a confident message about the club's plans that breeds confidence amongst supporters that we are moving in the right direction. Instead, we have silence and a lack of information or understanding on decisions being made.
"As supporters we have seen all too clearly what a lack of communication from absentee owners leads to. Ultimately supporters remain in the dark once again about the plans for this football club moving forward.
"We find ourselves experiencing deja vu, where boardroom decisions lead to more questions than they answer. We ask that you speak with supporters - engage with a true representative cross section of supporters and work with supporters to provide solutions to our current problems."
Rejection. Denied......
I actually think my teams would defend quite well and the defenders that I like are pretty much all excelling in their respect clubs, for example I was signing the praises of kompany long before he went city.
Tell him we can get him the Hamburglar's head and he will be ours.
I played Football Manager 2006 too.
were you any good? bet you were.
anyway, some recent tweets by Tariq Panja. He writes about football for Bloomberg media. He notably provided extensive coverage of the Hicks and Gillett court case and the ownership change.
Someone from the "Echo" has just said on TalkSh!te that there's been absolutely no contact with Rafa and the "Echo" doesn't expect any.
Anyone still harbouring hopes for Mourinho, forget it. He's just signed a new contract with Real.
it's not surprising. at least ross and oncy can breathe a big sigh of relief
yep till 2016
2016. Just when Fergie retires...
fergie will be gone before then. a couple of city league titles and he'll think 'fuck this for a laugh'
You know thats not true...that fucker's a cockroach. He'll outlive us all.
"23m tariq panja tariq panja @tariqpanja
My understanding of #LFC recruitment process so far: Ayre whitling down long list for candidates to meet owners"
The list of candidates is whittling itself down, Ayre isn't involved except to cross people off even before he can phone them.
