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

Liverpool have chosen Aston Villa manager Martin O’Neill as their top choice to replace Rafael Benitez this summer.

Sunday’s match at Hull City is likely to be Benitez’s final game in charge of Liverpool as reports have suggested that Benitez will be moving to Juventus.

O’Neill is set to meet with Villa owner Randy Lerner to discuss his future with the club and some believe that the Irishman could leave in the summer, according to the Daily Star.

The last two Liverpool bosses have been Frenchman Gerard Houllier and Benitez, who is from Spain, but should the club hire a new manager they would prefer a British manager.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson, Birmingham’s Alex McLeish and Kenny Danglish are also being considered for the Liverpool job.

However, O’Neill would be the main target to lead the Reds if Benitez completes a move to Juventus this summer.

O'Neill is not everyone's cup of tea but might be worth a gamble,his man management is fantastic,something which we are missing badly under Rafa.

and he is a Brit.

For now, this is just media talk.

that's true wakka...

Great man manaager but his football is awful.

i wouldnt mind him, his my 1st choice. i think his pretty good manager. excellent man management. at the moment its all paper talk.

Martin O'neil is a dinosaur and should never be let anywhere near the managers desk at Anfield.

soory harry rednapp is my 1st choice then o'neil. no point wanting mourinhno, its not going to happen

Great man mangament plays a similar style to O'neil and a cheaper option sounds perfect! Meet our new manager David "Harry" Basset

i dont think its that easy getting 4th place. it depends how much money we have. dont forget city will have 200m to spend and all the players no its only amount of time before they start winning things
