Unless you can buy the league like city have done you will not be succesful unless you stick with your manager. Obviously Hodgson was an exception to this rule because his tactics and standards were not suited to a club like liverpool. FSG then made a good decision to bring KK in to steady the ship but after last season it was again obvious that they needed to make a change. KK will always be a liverpool legend and will always be highly respected for his acheivements but in todays game if you want to compete at CL level you must have a manager who is tactically aware and I am afraid KK is not that. KK style of management is based on motivation and telling the players to go out and express themselves which only gets you so far. Whereas BR will be giving every single player individual instructions based on the tactics he wants to employ each game. I was sceptical at first but after seeing BR to date I have been very impressed and I believe he has the right approach and standards to take liverpool back into the top 4, maybe not this season but probably next season. He has his methods and approach totally figured out, his work in the transfer window has been very good. He is a very clever manager. I hope he gets atleast 2 years before he is judged. I honestly believe that if he is given time he can build something special and the fact he is so young is a massive bonus. Its really refreshing to see a club like liverpool investing in someone like BR who has come up through the ranks in english football although hi approach is very european, FSG are thinking long term progression here, rather than an old experienced european coach who is only going to give you 2-3 years and then move on. Im really looking forward to the future.
By he way Rafa was one of the greatest liverpool managers ever. Look at all the records the team broke when he was in charge, its an unbelievable record.
so whose going to drop out of the top four next season in order for us to so call replace them, wont Spurs, Newcastle and Everton who are all in better shape than us be more likely to step in or is it just wishful thinking that makes you predict this, not having a go I just want to know what you base this assumtion on given you have seen what I have seen over the last 3 seasons to date.
