KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Frank De Boer rejects Liverpool...

we may have to take a lesser man to move us forward as the big European ones want the champions league stuff

the thing i like about this process is that when its all said and done their will be a minimum amount of "why didnt they get bladeee blah and hoopdee hoop instead of getting didgereee doo". we know now who was approached, who turned it down, and by the end of it we should have the right candidate.

tbh, and its only my opinion, im not hating, if its benitez im going to be bored.

i feel the same way on rafa flames, its a very negative and desperate step to bring him back

The issue for me with rafa is; Has he sorted out his player/man management shortcomings? is he man enaf to accept his mistakes and work to rectify them (He was too stubborn), Is he willing to work under a director of football? plus he needs to clip his ego alittle, if so then I could consider him. Conversely if he is the same 'ol same 'ol package we had then whats the point really?.

i would have liked to see de boer as manager i think he ticked more boxes than other names being thrown into the hat.

i agree about rafa. i have a lot of respect for him but it would be a step in the wrong direction imo. in reality theres so many names turning us down not willing to risk their reputation at liverpool that by the end of this appointment process rafa might top the list as the most qualified

i think as a club were still were up there as a top club but weve got to get this one spot on as are reputation is well and truely on line if we mess up again nobody or no top man will come near us again over to you JH

I would rather have Martinez than rafa to be honest

I feel the club needs a new direction not going back to an old one

yea agree with that but martinez not managed anywhere near a big a club as lfc could be a a huge gamble if it went t-ts up that would be the final nail in are coffin

cjkent... Martinez is a major gamble... an unknown at the top.

Rafa is proven at the very top. Yes, he has shortcomings... but at least they've been revealed. Some of them can be controlled and some overcome.

I don't get your fears?

I am just making that fact that managers that go back to clubs it never works and why after having one ex manager fail do we feel we need another. Hell can someone phone Roy Evans he played good football.

Rafa would have to change a lot to fit into the new way of thinking at Liverpool, plus is rafa at less of a gamble than Martinez any manager brought in is a gamble plain and simple
