The only time we have gone for a 'big' manager was when we got Mr Benitez. Historically, we have always gone for the unproven or unknown managers. Considering we are the most successful club in English history, it is hard to argue with our approach.


It is extremely easy to argue with our approach when we haven't won the League in 25 years.


Has our lack of success been due to poor quality managers, or because we've fallen behind several teams in financial terms?

Rumour is that Klopp wants to take a gap year, how many times have we heard that from managers before. My bet is he will have a month off before joining City or Madrid.

Fair point. But that was 10 years ago and the landscape has changed considerably. There are much richer clubs out there now that seemingly have more ambition than us. But I hope they do go for a top notch manager when Rodgers goes or what's the point in sacking him?

Really? he said the opposite in his press conference. He also said that he wants to manage in an English speaking country.

Not based on 'my comment'...based on his comments.

He's a certainty for City surely. I know there is talk of them wanting Guardiola, but hasn't he already turned them down once?

I wonder if we were to get him, whether it would persuade the likes of Sterling to commit to us? That might be something that FSG consider when planning ahead for next season...?

That said, money talks so hell probably end up managing in Qatar!

He would be an upgrade and was very humble when he came over in august

I would take him now as long as he didn't over use the word outstanding
