KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum O'Neill to replace Rafa?

well grant looks like a hot potato at the mo.

o neill doesnt have the magic. no thanks. with owners gone we need a manager who will breed revolution, and its not o neill.

very true but he does have top four team exp which most managers that have been named don't.

meh he plays very dull football, and wouldnt attract european stars, we need someone with european credentials, its like what city did letting huges go, mancini attracts world stars...

As long as it's not O'Neil, Grant or Rednapp, I'm happy.

What about Louise Red knapp

Well.........Every team needs a good Mascot. She will need to come to me first for an interview though! I mean surely you need Ball Skills to be involved at LFC!?

Realistic options atm are O'neil,Redknapp, McLeish,Hodgson all who are decent in the league but again lack European experience. Only one that id take up from that list is Hodgon because fulham are doing very well under him.

I'd agree with Dunk that ultimately it would be nice to see Rafa turn it around. If he goes to Juve or RM then I would put O'Neill up there as someone to seriously consider. In terms of other targets it all depends on what comes out of Anfield in the next few days in terms of what is going on in the boardroom and refinancing issues. Simon Maddock in the mirror thinks we'll have a £50m to spend in the summer after everything is sorted out. If Rafa has gone by then, Jose Mourinio would probably consider £50m as a decent amount of money to spend so I'd have to go for him as my choice. If H & G stand down this could ultimately make Rafa's position weaker. He has some sort of alliance with Hicks at the minute, but a new chairman (albeit interim). Purslow and Ayre etc may not want Rafa in charge - new regime, new manager? Whatever happens I think the next 2-3 days will be interesting!

If we spend 50m,wisely that is,I will do naked cartwheels down my road and post the pictures up here for all to see.
