KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is it time to Raise Bill Shankly from the dead?

It might sound crazy,but this crap is driving us all crazy,we cant talk about transfers until we have a new manager,because every manager have his own tastes and style,and every fan have their own personal favorite,i must say mine is AVB(Andre Villas-Boas) but in the end its all for the good of the club,low profiled up-coming young managers like Frank De Boor snubbing the mighty reds,a mid table good for nothing coach like Brando Rodgers who have a less transfer budget and no hope for any silvers snubbing the mighty reds!!!,should we start to worry yet???...am not sure what will turn out to be the LFC manager,but what i know is we need somebody who is dying to have this job,not using "money muscles" forcing or tempting people like Brandon and De Boor!!!,the don't want the job,let them GO!,so far the only guy showing that hunger is Roberto Martinez!,i read somewhere that he was on his way out of Wigan even before LFC showed interest,now that is bad!,one wrong move by Yanks they will find themselves hated by fans just like their fellow Americans!,.....

Is it time to Raise our very own Shankly from the dead?

You may be on to something here. Whelan says he was sat with Martinez when he received the call from FSG and was more than happy to allow him to talk to us. Whelan could well have been about to sack RM but will now be able to get some compensation for him instead of having to pay out.

sack Martinez for what

Keeping them up on a shoe string budget that is just plain silly

Hang on - all I'm saying is that it is a possibility, stranger things have happened. Maybe Whelan is fed up with 'just avoiding relegation' and is prepared to take a gamble in order to move them closer to mid-table? Quite rightly, he could be thinking that martinez has done as much as he is capable of, especially when he sees Moyes spending less but achieving more? Who knows..

pigs may fly one day... who knows..

moyes spending less again that wrong

Moyes spend 5 million on jerlvic if i am right wigan spent 0

We don't need Bill Shankly back how Bill would cope with billionaire foreigners and ordinary fans being unable to watch their local club and prima dona players who rule the roost I am not sure. I think every great person has their moment in time. BUT there is a need for a Shankly'esc man to come at this time. I think thats the argument for an up and coming manager Martinez or AVB we are assuming a lot about both. But either could be about to blossom into a great. I would rather take that chance personally and such a man would fit in with the FSG model a big ego might not. Just some thoughts before I cut the lawn.

Martinez may well be the next shanklyesk type, however he,unlike shankly hasn't even got the power to change the kit colour let alone make major decisions on the clubs new possible philosophy/success etc,so we cant compare at all tbh, its FSG who have that power so are they the new shankly?
