KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mourinho staying at Madrid, so who does that leave

Mourinho has said he is going to sign a new contract at Madrid, so does this leave the door open for Chelsea to get Rafa Benitez if so that's two names gone from the list of potential managers supporters wanted for Liverpool.

Are we going to see a potential merry go round of managers at Liverpool like there has been at Chelsea in recent years.

In the current climate of football, managers are not allowed time to produce their own team and put their own stamp on it, they are expected to start winning immediately, even Wenger was having supporters call for his name last season and this, even after what he has done for them, he ignoed them and has now got them upto 4th and postentially 1 point off 3rd come Monday.

I pity whoever does take on the role of Liverpool manager because they will only get 6 months at best to prove they have what it takes.

If the club had acted quicker by moving for mourinho a few weeks back when he was there for the taking, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Another reason why pointlessly waiting for the end of the season before we sack dalglish has no benefits or logic.
Being patient (ie tolerating dross) doesn't always produce results - look at everton!

Andre Villas Boas.

Chelsea won't make Rafa their new manager. The fans were singing against the notion the other day - he would NOT be a popular choice.

I have serious apprehensions about getting AVB in, to be honest.

why would you keep posting such rubbish full of youtube links that are nonsense?

no klopp
no AVB
no Rogers

no one hit wonders or "talented" young managers
Liverpool are better than that
Liverpool deserve better than that

we need experienced champion managers, we may have missed out on Murinho and Anceloti, but Capello and O'Neil are possible.

"Champion"? Remind me what O'Neill has won?

I think so too. He is a talented manager, as his record at Porto shows, he tried to bring that success with him at Chelsea, however due to egos he was not able to do so. He wanted a more technical team, and this was shown by his faith in signing Mata, Meriles, Remeu, Lukaku and De Bryun. I felt Chelsea would go ahead, however players like Lampard, Cole, Anelka, Terry, Drogba and Malouda let him down.

He won a few titles and cups with Celtic, and a couple of League Cups with Leicester. You may say, it's just the Scottish League, okay, but he made Celtic a dominant force there, and in England he hasn't been at a top club yet. At Leicester, Villa and Sunderland, he's always over-achieved and worked wonders. Look at Harry Redknapp - did a great job at a host of small clubs and finally gets his chance at a big(ISH!) club in Spurs and works wonders.

I wouldn't be against O'Neill, I just can't see O'Neill failing anywhere.

Lol Proper kneejerk reaction! (to original post)

Mourhinio was photographed at a London Airport Landing here and looking for a property recently. I'll bet any of you £100 quid he is chelsea manager next term. That deal has already been done with Roman abramovich

Benitez is just looking for a top job. He doesn't want any old poor job, otherwise he would have been blackburn manager by now.

Id have Rafa back at liverpool. He did look solid in his tactics is what i'd give him credit for. 1 champions league win, one runner up. not bad
