agreed. fsg would never appoint rafa. he has blamed everyone above him in every job he has ever had. not a chance they would appoint anyone like that.


When you put it like that then I agree FSG would not want to deal with Rafa, he has fallen out with the Valencia hierarchy and H&G at Liverpool.

If FSG really want a younger manager then


Martinez - 38
Deschamps - 43
Villa-Boas - 34
Lambert - 42
Brendon Rogers - 39

should all be considered, who would be the best option is a matter of debate (I have no idea).

But I have always liked the MK Dons manager Karl Robinson, he is only 31, and is a Liverpool lad, coached our youth academy and is doing very well at MK Dons (In the playoffs for the 2nd season running in league 2).

Again would be too soon for him but if FSG are looking for a youthfull manager with a connection to Liverpool then Karl Robinson would fit the bill

??? Martinez has done FAR better than kenny this season when you look at their respective objectives and available resources. Kenny is the premier league's most underperforming manager by a million miles. Name one other manager that has had £115m to spend yet managed to take the club further down the league than the previous season?!

kenny cannot manage in the age of football

or if he can I have still to be convinced

if he leaves how many clubs will be scrabbling to make him their manager

championship included?

Thought villas boas would take that title since he was ssacked for ruining chelseas season?



Not really. The top 2 was never really going to be an option so he was always going to battling with the london clubs for 3rd or 4th. Chelsea may still get 4th and may still win the champions league. Even if AVB remained in charge and they finished 5th or 6th, that still wouldn't be as disasterous as Kenny when you consider the money that has been spent.

Why would they want the manager to have an existing connection with Liverpool?

It would be easier for the fans to accept if the new manager has a Liverpool connection rather than just some pleb off the street whom FSG have picked.

I don't agree with this at all. Kenny did a lot better than managers like Steve Kean, Mick McCarthy, or Steve Bruce. I know you love to exaggerate everything, but I'm not having this rubbish.

Martinez had one goal - stay in the EPL. He did that via an exceptional run of form for 2 months. Prior to that they were candidates to go down. Fortunately at the bottom of the table you only need a handful of results to stay up and he did that. I'm not saying Martinez is a bad manager, but Wigan can keep him. Keeping up a relegation-threatened club with no money does not mean he deserves to be "promoted" to a side with an eye on the Champions' League. The last time we did that we nearly got relegated ourselves.

Having money doesn't mean things happen overnight. City have been spending heavily for 3 seasons, much more heavily than us, and have a ludicrous wage bill to match. What you want cannot be done by any club with any manager in one season. So chill, and let's try support the club regardless of how popular their decision regarding the manager may be. They could do a lot worse than Dalglish, though I'm sure in your jaded world you'll struggle to appreciate that. We cannot afford to flitter between the previous season's good performers at the start of each season in the hunt for glory - at some point we have to say "No more drastic change" and see where what we have takes us. That time is now, whether you understand it or not.

Thundyr you are wrong in my opinion. Dalglish is a proven failure and has been out of the game for a decade. How anyone thought he could manage a top club like Liverpool I really don't know. I am not jumping on any bandwaggon I said it from day 1. I can still remember clearly the late 80's early 90's and I was delighted when he quit and at the time I worked in Liverpool and everyone in the office was a reds fan. Everybody had the same view as me. I suspect the current crop of pro Dalglish are young and are going on the legend thing. So if we stick with Dalglish we will onlt get more of the same. That might not be want you want to hear but its true I can assure you.
