Is he a viable option to manage liverpool


Since he announced his departure from Getafe (he reaches final at getafe and lost 1/4 finals to valencia in UEFA cup) he has been linked with jobs at Valencia, Benfica, Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers, Panathinaikos, CSKA Moscow and West Ham United. He almost got the job at Panathinaikos, but according to Danish media he wanted an option to allow him to leave, if he got an offer from a Spanish club. This could not be accepted by the Greeks, who chose Henk ten Cate instead. [12] On 12 September 2008, it was officially announced that Laudrup signed a 18-month contract with Spartak Moscow. However, he spent only 7 months in the post, being sacked on 15 April 2009 after Spartak's 0–3 loss to Dinamo Moscow in the Russian Cup.

someone on here started this rumour! They planted the seed in another thread last week and mentioned getting a nobody / or up coming manager and Laudrup was mentioned. The media is bad enough without one of our own putting rumours out there!

lol, would you say he is a viable option?

It would be very difficult for him to come in to Liverpool, especially of there are no funds. If he fails with no money then he won't last a year with the Anfield faithful

is he big enough to manage the crisis at Liverpool? I doubt it!

thats my point, he aint big enough.

m sure he very knowledgeable and speaks well and has good brand of footie. But he aint big enough.

If he were a big enough fellow, his name would be linked with the cream of clubs

Perhaps with the current state LFC find themselves in its these types of managers that we have to look at. Someone that has the potential to be a great manager and all they need is a chance to prove it.

Lets take a guy that has the footballing philosophy we're looking.i.e. attacking football.
He might not have the experience we need but at least we'll play footie that people would want to watch.

I'm not saying that Laudrup is 'the guy' but this is the type of guy we might have to look at.

i hear you bru.

But has all of Rafa years at LFC been football that is ugly to watch?

I really dont think we play ugly footie all the time, we certainly dont play like arsenal, but then again, since rafa is here we won more trophies than arsenal.

i can take out the top of my head, Hull, Inter, Madrid,Man U, chelsea, AC milan. Athletico at anfield, we played some nice footy.

and we played some rotten footy too.

Agreed, we have played some good football at times over the last couple of years. The problem I have with Rafa is that his first thought is "I don't want to loose" whereas I would prefer him to think "What can I do to win this game by 3 goals".

I think we may need someone that is attacking by nature, great at motivating and above average at tactics.

Of course I could be wrong and Rafa is the guy that gets us no.19, but at the same time I feel he's lost the dressing room and its very unlikely things will change while he's here.

you said laudrup had been linked with no big jobs injun - yet now he is suddenly linked with a whole host of jobs .... are you going to continually show your ignorance up for all to see while not admitting to any of it?

Im not so sure no 19 is so close, i think could take us another 5 years to even contemplate winning the title.

The whole club is in too much turmoil. Unless ofcourse we have a quick fix.
