KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Laudrup to manage liverpool!

The only way we will know for sure if he is good enough would be to give him a go. I'm not sure it would be the right move but I think we all get too hung up on this we need a Mourinho type manager. Look what Guardiola did in his first job (OK he had a much better team). Barca had the balls to give him a go and it paid off.

The next great manager is out there, we just need to find him before someone else does.

To be fair, Pep didn't have that much to do. Barca runs on one particular system or style of playing football. From their youngest teams to the seniors. All he realy has to do is keep the guys happy.

he doesn't need to change anything, I doubt he'll be able to even if he wanted to change anything.

i would certainly give him a chance. he has the right approach to the game and is a well respected name all around europe.

he guided getafe to a cup final and made them a regular la liga side...

he won the danish league with brondby before moving to getafe

i don't really agree that it has to be a big name manager who will replace rafa is he leaves.

the likes of laudrup stands for the kind of football many of us would like to see. he may not have the experience of mourinho or rafa but remember every manager has to start somewhere.

neither shankly nor paisley were big names .... houllier was a big name .... yeah let's give up on the big names please!!

yes that's what i mean, there's no guarantee a big name will do better than someone like laudrup.

but what's clear is that we need a change, someone that can motivate the players and who has a positive approach to the game.

i not to happy with laudrup.

cos he is pro La Liga, he would dump us and run to la liga if a offer came in. this what it says at the top of this thread.

If the big head aint a issue, then i would think along the lines of Coyle. Thats just my view.

If we are to change, then Kenny, or a british bloke, a british bloke will no run off to another league.

Might of been me who threw Michael Laudrup's name into the hat, did'nt have the intention of starting rumours. The reason I mentioned him was that he is very slowly and steadily building up a reputation of being a young solid manager with fresh ideas and a hunger to do well. In the past two regimes we have brought in managers who are only to eager to get bogged down in tactics and worrying what the opposition is going to do first, for me you cant win the English premier league doing this, it's all about being brave and taking a risk, thats why our league is the best in the world. Given our situation I think we need to change the whole regime at Anfield from top to bottom, the things that made us succesful in the past have gone a long long time ago and and what was best for us then will simply not work in todays game because the game has moved on, this is where I think a young up and coming manager, who will show no fear of change because he is still relatively raw might just be what we need at this very important cross roads in the history of our club.
