KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum would it have been mclaren..

i have been thinking this since the day Roy hodgson was appointed and left it this long to post it so i hope not to come across as being negative towards our new manager.

before i start i want to say that i did not want roy to be our new manager. i feel if sg and ft leave he as not got the reputation to attract big name with out having champions league to our club but now he as, il back him as much as i can and hope he does a great job for us and proves me and many more wrong.

what ive been thinking though is if we were to be looking for a new manager when steve mclaren got boro to the final of the uefa cup and finished higher than fulham in the prem league and considering what he as done in holland at fc twenty. would we have considered him as being good enough for the job.i dont think so. not just because of his ties with man u either. i know roy as won things in the lower leagues in other countries but he as done nothing special with an English team before this and if they had been knocked out in the earlier rounds which they could because they got through on away goal a few times,would he have got the job.

i think they have appointed roy because there are no buyers for the club like it was rumored and he will be easily disposed of if we get an investor. i hope im wrong and we go on and have a good season. YNWA

roy will bring stability and get the best out of what weve got,he wasnt ny 1st choice but i like the fact he a english manager that will understand the fans need a bit more also he wont dissmiss the fa cup and carling cup like rafa did.

When he took over Inter Milan, they were a massive team, like us, who were fading rapidly. He bought stability to the side and turned them from a relgation threatened team into a 3rd/4th place team plus getting them into a Uefa Cup Final inside a year and laid the foundations for the side to turn into the team they're today. Inter's President Massimo Moratti says that Hodgson is a major reason why Inter are such a strong team today. Hopefully he can do a similar job to us.

take it by having such a low response, you all think the same. glad cos i fort i was on my own

o god, dont tell me that S Mclar

i havent the slighest what your'e on about lol

good thread mate

you might have a point there ceb. if thats the case, and hodgson stabilises us, and then we get someone else in to bring us the rest of the way then so be it.
