KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The offical transfer and manager rumour thread.

i don't understand the "he's been out of football too long" argument.

first of all why do people compare him to keegan. keegan never was and never will be near as good a manager as kenny was.

secondly kenny knows the club in and out. he's the right man to motivate our stars and remind them what it means to play for lfc.

when it comes to tactics then just take a look at harry redknapp. it's well known that he's doesn't even use tactics in the way managers like rafa and mourinho does. some of his former players has even said there's no tactics at all. he still managed to win the fa-cup with pompey and finish 4th with spurs.

my point is you don't need a tactical freak who think you need to control every little bit on the pitch. kennys motivation and presence would be enough to keep the likes of stevie at the club.

Its not just about match day ffs its about how coaches/managers approach the game on a daily basis with regards to diets, training methods, injuries, handling of playesr and their egos and demands etc etc etc

If you cant understand that then this really is a pointless discussion.

Well flip me, this looks like it could be it then, bye bye Rafa and all that. If this was a story from the daily mail I would be ignoring it, but Barrett in the Times running a story like this is a different matter all together. God there's some politics going on here isn't there? It looks like they (the board) want Rafa out and are holding back assurances on a transfer budget, so that he has to admit he can't take us any further and so has to cave in and walk. A very big no-confidence vote in Rafa and a bloody dangerous strategy if it backfires. I think the board have got the right hump over the Juve thing and I'm sure dressing room dissent is playing a big part here as well. Maybe the Alonso, Reira and now Benyoun fall outs are making the board sit up and take notice? If the article is right I can't see Rafa here much longer.

Thank you for confirming what the majority of us knew.

Dossena was just big boned.

sorry im a bit late into this arguement but there is no comparison bt keegan and daglish.

kenny would be great because he wouldnt come looking for big bucks, he would hopefully inspire a few dropped heads, stevie might stay on and give it some welly too. why not? what the fck have we got to lose?

echo with the same story now. clearly some truth in it then...

The parrallels between the two are to big to simply ignore.

Both had hugely successful spells at the perspective clubs as both players then managers, both walked out with the pressure being to much ( Kenny had more of a reason than Keegan ), both then went onto have a small degree of success with other clubs, both have been out of the game for a longtime with Keegan returning as a messiah that was going to make everything ok just like certain people think that Kenny would do for us only for it all to end horribly.

keegan not a patch on kenny.

anyway, as for this other rumour, if its true, lets see what kinda guy raffa is.

So Rafa will get £3 million to resign. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he due £16 million if they sack him? And do we honestly think, given this, he'll agree to just go quietly as they ask? I'm by no means a Rafa fan, but I know what I would do! Which begs the question, where is the £16 million going to come from, seeing as how we're not supposed to have any spare cash?
