Liverpool talk to Manuel Pellegrini over vacant manager's job

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/18/kenny-dalglish-liverpool-manuel-pellegrini

BBC transfer gossip suggesting Mourinho getting ready to table a bid for Glen Johnson - not from a very credible source though

looks like we will be busier then Southerbys this summer

The Glen Johnson thingis a non starter, they're only looking to offer 15m, which will only one of his dread locks! On a more creditable front Manuel Pellegrini's agent has confirmed the Liverpool talks (finally something more than just bloody rumours which are driving me nuts!) and will be having another meeting with Liverpool to discuss the details of the deal.

I think it would be a good move. Reina knows and likes him and I think it would help keep Gerrad and Torres at the club. More than that though the guy is a good manager, Real scored over 100 goals this season, I'll have some that!

hard to know how he would do, but he was good enough for madrid at one point so it cant be all that bad. sure fck it, it has to be someone doesnt it.

Re; Pellegrini

There is a link on another reds site (the very Pro-Rafa one :)) which has two video clips of Pellegrini talking about the games and his upbringing

I must say it was very impressive althoughi don't know from it if he speaks English or not

Please not him. Bring back Kenny

as much as the child in me would LOVE to see kenny come back and make everything better, too many times i have seen people coming back out of retirement or from a long lay off and completely destroying their reputation, whether its in sport or entertainment or whatever. lets just leave kenny as he is, an anfield legend, and move forward. the 70's and 80's are not coming back. the game has changed dramatically. we are trying to bring the club up to date, so i dont think a past manager is the way to go.
despite again, my enormous desire to see him do it and do well. That old familiar trusted figure in the dugout would be kinda cool alright, but what if it goes wrong, are we willing to risk people being pisd off with him and devaluing his past glories?

Agreed, as much as i love Kenny there is no logical reason for him to be back as manager, other than he knows the club but even then things have changed beyond recognition since he was last manager

If LFC fans were told that the club was going to appoint a guy who has been out of managing for 10 years then we'd all be up in arms, the fact that it is Kenny is blinding a lot of us
