So who did Benitez play for in a CL/European Cup final ?

He had coached successfully at Valencia.
I should have said coached or played in a European final.
I was responding to a rogue Manc having a pot at LFC.

Bundesliga is the third best league in the world and some newspapers actually believe that Jurgen Klopp "is in the running" for this job, or would even be interested in it?! Sheer ignorance.

I also suggested Brendan Rogers as a possibility.
The owners gave every support to Kenny.
He fcuked up buying donkies for a lot of cash.
He should have resigned on Sunday.
I think you are angling towards blaming the owners for this season's debacle.

I'm not paying any close attention to your posts.
I replied to one and you didn't answer my initial question.

Martinez and Rodgers are more 'flavour of the month' although i dislike the term, Klopp, Biesla, Guardiola are heads in the sky and MON? You've got to be kidding.

I can never understand how Martinez can be a flavour of the month 3 seasons in a row, way ahead of Lambert and Rodgers IMO, both of who managed wonders this season, Martinez has consistently done it yet is somehow flavour of the month come May! He's had Wigan seeing of teams with bigger profiles, transfer budgets and wage bills.

AVB for me as I think he's the only one who will get time to ring in changes. Not as many egos in the dressing room to satisfy now Gerrard and Carra are past their peak.

Given this a bit of a bash. Insomnia.


I've gone,
When did I arrive?
Cos all they've left me with is me bloody P45

No more King Kenny
No tracksuit role
But at least I'll be the richest man down the dole

And for me who'll they replace?
A lad with a bit of grace,
But will he ever make the face?

So I say..

I think I better leave right now
Before we fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Our players are getting weaker and weaker
Somebody's gotta tell me how
That Jay Spearings a midfielder
I think I better leave right now

They say don't worry
Sure we'll be grand
Sure we've got Pepe, and Carra in the stand
I told the gaffers
You're having a laugh
If you think that tools still a decent centre half
Because he's just slow to learn
No more pace to burn,
I never know where to turn

So I say..

I think I better leave right now
Leave all the Yanks and the strops
I think I better leave right now
Before it dawns on the Kops
Can't you just see it now
Here come Martinez for seasons of flops
I think I better leave right now

All credit to the time it's flown
Remember how I beat Brugge on me own
The greatest midfielder of his era
Are you listening Jean Tigana
But I'll keep going, you'll see
Even with me dodgy spending spree
Oh how the mighty have fallen, it's pathetic
I might end up swapping for Wigan Athletic

If Kenny really gave a hoot about the club he'd waive all rights to this pay off.
He did the same to Celtic a few years back as well.
He'll probably sit indignant in the stands again when the new man loses for the first time.

Sorry that I hurt your feelings, now that I know your so sensitive I'll refrain from the tounge in cheek posts anymore.

I'd like to see Robert Martinez be given a chance at a big club to see if he could impliment his 3-4-3 system elsewhere but not Liverpool, just in case it works because Wigan played some lovely fotball in the last eight games.

Sven or Rafa are two good options, they seem to know how to get a team playing a pretty reliable system.

Am I alone in thinking that Bielsa at club level is completely overrated? He plays attacking football and knocked Manchester United out of a competition they were never wanted to compete in, whoopty bloody doo.

It seems as though there was a narrative in the English press that would eventually lead to Bilbao winning the tournament but they didn't and they finished midtable in the league - 45 per cent win record with Bielsa as manager.

Atletico won and in Diego Simeone they completed turned their season around, challenged for the last CL spot and have silverware and a 60 per cent win record from 30 games.

Yet people are considering Bielsa as a Liverpool hire as "pie-in-the-sky" thinking alongside the likes of Kloop and Pep?! I just don't get it.

Waive his pay off.
Took fat pay off at Newcastle and Celtic after fcuking up there as well.
Had he had any self respect he would have fallen on his sword and the 50th defeat of the season at Swansea.

God you are touchy. Eriksson won 17 major trophies as a manager and has EPL experience, he was deemed good enough to manage the national team and a host of Italian clubs, yet you take it as an insult.

Youv'e had Hodgson, Houllier and Rafa recently. Experienced managers but would not exacty be described as the most sought after in world football. Sven is probaly a bigger name than those three.

EPL experience that he got sacked from
Championship experience that he got sacked from.
International manager experience that he got sacked from(more than once)
Host of Italian clubs that don't seem to in a queue to hire him.

Houllier is retired on health grounds after managing Lyon to league success.
Rafa has turned down several offers to return to manager since Inter.


I have no idea why i'm even engaging in such debate as to why Sven would not be a good manager for Liverpool

Sven and Rafa as I said earlier. How do Liverpool fans feel about Rafa returning? I know his sqaud rotation and constant substituting of Torres annoyed many but would he be welcome back?

RAFA is not coming back, not in a million years

FSG are not going to appoint a 'liverpool legend' for a 'second term' as manager of Liverpool. They got burnt once and it wont happen again


Rafa also has a bad relationship with our previous American owners, so theres another nail in teh coffin on that one


LFC DO NOT want martinez. wigan are poison and the step up in expectations would need a serious bedding in time for him. FSG dont want that

FSG are going to go with somebody with a track record of winning titles - Pep, Capello, AVB, Deschamps ect etc

I personally feel Klopp is the man for the job. What he has built in Dortmund and how he has built it is amazing. He may not want to leave it for mid table premier league but hes losing his best players each season so he may get the hump and we get our man

I said it yesterday but I would be worried if Martinez got the Liverpool job. No idea why he's so underrated by people in here, a terrific manager with great track record and philosophy. Good eye for talent too, that Wigan team is still very young. They got a lot of bad luck this season and could have been challenging for a top half finish if things had gone their way a few more times.

Crazy talk, what has he achieved that Steve Bruce or Paul Jewell have not at that club?. Nothing. He isnt in the running anyway no matter what sh1te gets said on twitter. Nice guy though, like him.

Id like to see some numbers. I remember Bruce losing Palacios and still finishing mid table.

How many teams have lost 9-0 and 8-0 in the last 20 years?, given their away supporters refunds for a shocking performance?. Sorry, this mug aint buying the Martinez love.

Martinez is not a proven winner, which is what Liverpool need. He's a younger Roy Hodgson and battling relegation is not the background from which you should become the manager at Anfield.

JimsAlterEgo

wont be Rafa, they saw what happened when they went back once. Wouldn't be surprised to see a director of football and a coach approach rather than a manager.

Who I would like to see come in is Jose or Pep, but that aint going to happen.

I would like to see Rafa get another crack at it. Don't think Martinez is qualified enough, suprised so many people want him in.

BBC Sport are usually very reliable and there's a few hints here. hey don't usually put stuff up unless they've got a pretty decent idea. Key pars bolded.

Liverpool's owners are keen for the club's new manager to be in place for at least four to five years, but there is no front-runner at this stage.
Tom Werner and John W Henry have begun the search for the Reds' fourth boss in two years after sacking Kenny Dalglish and have a number of names in mind.
The new boss is likely to get a transfer budget of more than £30m.
Intermediaries acting for the club have spoken with Andre Villas-Boas, but he is unlikely to get the job.

The Portuguese was sacked by Chelsea in March.
Former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is also not thought to be in the running. The Americans are known to have been impressed by Wigan manager Roberto Martinez but no talks have taken place.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has often spoken of his admiration for the Anfield club and it is thought he would be willing to grant the Spaniard permission to discuss the post with Henry and Werner.
Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are keen to appoint a replacement at the earliest possible opportunity.
Dalglish left for Spain on a planned family holiday on Wednesday night. His wife Marina wrote on Twitter: "Really sad day for us a family but we all remain LFC fans. All so proud of Kenny."
On Wednesday, sources close to Henry were keen to stress the American owners do have a clear vision for the future of the club and are likely to appoint three senior directors in the coming weeks.
Meetings have been held with a number of potential directors of football, including Johan Cruyff and former Barcelona sporting director Txiki Begiristain, while they have also spoken to at least one candidate to fill the chief executive's role.
Henry and Werner are also thought to be close to appointing a new director of communications to replace Ian Cotton.
While the departure of Dalglish has left something of a power vacuum at Anfield, FSG felt they had to act given Liverpool's failure to challenge for a Champions League qualifying place, a clear target at the start of the season.
Liverpool's most recent annual report revealed that the club's prolonged absence from the competition had cost the club a minimum of £30m in revenue each year.
While the owners were encouraged by the Carling Cup victory in February, the first silverware since 2006, it could not cover up the failings of a poor Premier League campaign.
Steve Clarke, Dalglish's assistant, has stepped down out of loyalty to the 61-year-old Scot.

Looking like Rafa is unlikely

Still a transfer budget of £30m is no bad, shows they are willing to keep pace with their investments last year.

More than anything I hope we hire a director of football/manager who can use these funds wisely
