Dear god no.

Maybe it won't be Sherwood but if they sack Rodgers then he's the sort we can expect IMO. To think we'll get a top class proven manager is just fantasy, even Rafa.

I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go for a more established manager if Rodgers got the chop - the problem is we as a club would find it difficult to attract a big, big manager at this point in time.

The whole "Rafa being a free agent & Rodgers making a hash of things" saga has got the old head spinning... be very interesting to see where we stand come the start of next season.

The only big manager we ever get linked with is Rafa. The lack of CL wouldn't be an obstacle to recruitment but the FSG player policy would almost certainly be a massive switch off. I cannot see us ever getting a 'big manager' but there are very few I'd be keen on either. The only dead cert winner is Mourinho and I cannot see his ever being interested in us. If only we'd had him last three games of last season.......

Do we want Rafa back? I don't think I'm keen. Then where do we go? I've only seen Klopp interviewed once and I didn't take to the guy one bit.

I'd take Rafa back in a heartbeat.

Rafa didn't produce any sort of realistic challenge for a title in the whole time he was here. And this, despite the fact that the PL environment was more benign during Rafa's tenure. He won the CL with a freak result and most of the patience he eventually exhausted was a carry over from that. You will recall we even took Hodgson as a replacement for Rafa. That's how bad it got with Rafa!

I'd sooner a total punt like Bilic, to Rafa. I'd even sooner Sherwood to Rafa!!!!

I can't think Klopp would come to us and, in any case, in the one interview I saw I didn't think I saw that much to get excited about. Where is his present team?

Each to their own I guess

2008-2009

We came 2nd and only lost 2 games in the whole season. That was a definite title challenge and we only just came up short!

I recall that although we came second we were miles behind UTD and they coasted over the line. It was as close as we ever got but it wasn't a genuine challenge.

And then we sold Alonso and Torres got injured. The following season was our worst in a while and Rafa was pushed out. I don't remember watching us play with any freedom or poise. It was always ugly under Rafa. Do you want that back again?

After saying..

"Rafa didn't produce any sort of realistic challenge for a title in the whole time he was here."

... it's safe to say your credibility for the facts couldn't get much lower.
