KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum liverpool want roy hodgson as next manager

we are 1 of the top 10 clubs in europe we as a club need high profile players an management it would be great to fetch a nobody manager that no 1 has heard of but they dont attract the pedigree of footballer we require if where going to win things.

But would the Doncaster manager know how to handle a team full of internationals,would he command their respect?Would he flourish in the big money market?

paul ince Mk dons-blackburn ...sacked after 6 months
brian laws shef wed-burnley...relegated

it doesnt read too well?

the players would look at the doni manager and think it was a prank.

players that did should be shown the door - laws is a crap manager taking over a crap side, hardly a surprise they got relegated

ince took over and the players had all the power - no one from the board did what a board should do and tell them if they didn't like it they could hand in a transfer request because the manager was there to stay ...... he was undermined and the board failed to back him ....... though i have to say i would say he is an arrogant tit that would have failed anyway because he is bound to rub players up the wrong way

there really are no big names out there to take the job, why not take a chance?

you have to go with a top manager who can entice people here for example Mourinho, Hiddink and maybe Capello!! Not that i am against a British manager but availability wise in the summer.

I don't think we would need a huge war chest to attract a top class manager and I include maureen within that. I think an eager manager with fresh "attacking ideas" would relish the chance of working with the squad we have. In some positions we have the BEST players in Europe. They just need deploying differently - 2 quality additions would be enough with a couple of free transfers (Javonovic plus 1 - Joe Cole??) and bringing the best young players through into the 1st team would be enough. Lets get a grip, we're a massive club, a year outside the champions league does not destroy our 18 championships and 5 European cups. WE'RE STILL a massive pull for the right coach. YNWA

well said but nothing will happen until the ownership is sorted out

we are one of the biggest draws in the world for players - we don't need a big name manager, we are a far bigger name than any manager will ever be

Or why not take a chance on Rafa getting it right next year under new owners?Like you just said there is no other big name out there.

because rafa has washed the club's dirty linen in public, he is constantly playing politics instead of doing his job ..... when he is prepared to put out a team to try and win games instead of trying not to lose, when he concentrates on motivating the players of his disposal instead of publicly blaming them for a defeat and when he proves himself capable of putting the league first then he will be worth keeping

he is not right for this club ...... he has done some good things and even some great things for the club and the city, but he is not the man to win the league for us
