Does anyone else get P.O`d (annoyed) when players who are contributing nothing to the club either because of long term injury or non selection have their pictures plastered all over twitter, or magazines, papers etc. having a whale of a time, all smiles and champagne and dressed to the nines.

Sometimes they are not playing through no fault of their own, for example Borini, or maybe because they are crap (Enrique), but either way I like my injured/ non selected players to be mean, moody and angry !

Recovering players should be either in the gym or resting at home to ensure earliest and best return. Non selected players should be dedicating their every waking hour to improving their game so as non selection isn`t possible.

I am sure we can get a cheaper Club Clown than £60K a week Enrique !

Flanno is an example of how it should be done, under the radar !

02 Jun 2015 00:55:00
Footballers are people too! It's a job, they're allowed to have lives outside it

02 Jun 2015 00:59:35
They aren't humans after all

02 Jun 2015 08:33:12
I don't care what they do with their personal time and money as long as it befitting of the apt behaviour expected of them. I prefer not to see Jose Enrique's new nail polish though.

02 Jun 2015 10:39:45
Cant tell you how much i hate this attitude that somehow footballers should always be thinking about us, the fans, in everything they do, and that we control their lives.

I bet you'd call for someones contract to be terminated if they were seen eating with john terry at a restaurant maybe a bit too close to stamford bridge.

01 Jun 2015 21:54:14
Im getting abit ticked off with seeing fans moan about signing ings and milner. A prem proven striker who possibly will be on low wages than borini/lambert who has pace and can score. Milner who gets into the city squad yes big wages but has the mental attitude and exp we lack. Yes there will be signing on bonuses ect but much better than spending money the club don't have on players who may not work.im not sure about other fans but lfc fans seem the biggest moaners in the whole world it drives me mad.

01 Jun 2015 22:01:33
Great post Dorset both in my eyes would be great signings for the club.

01 Jun 2015 22:11:58
Proven?
Mate Michu, Benteke scored twice as much in their 1st seasons at crap clubs. Don't mean your amazing!!
U reckon any top tier Club in CL wants Ings & Milner,, only for British/homegrown player quota mate? City came 2nd in Prem and want better to challenge next year and no qualms if Miner goes but u think he's good?

01 Jun 2015 22:17:35
My only worry about Milner is can he play week in week out he hasen't done at city but besides that I think both would be good signings

01 Jun 2015 22:45:13
I just don't see the point in Ings (or Milner either really) as neither solves a problem we have. They're both fine players, but Ings isn't good enough to be first choice striker on a regular basis for us I don't feel and Milner isn't really needed per se.

Again, I think both are good players, but like Lallana and Markovic before them, I just don't think either are necessary.

02 Jun 2015 00:13:19
So why are city fans not happy about him leaving. They love him up there. Its refreshing to see a player reject more money for playing time and not play in champs league. He wants to come and so does ings.

02 Jun 2015 00:20:12
I'm sorry, but Milner walks straight into our midfield, no question for me. Experience, proven prem ability.
Ings isn't meant to be the first striker on the teamsheet (assuming there is one). He should be an improvement on what we have coming off the bench at the moment though surely? And he won't cost the earth. Assuming they happen, it will actually be nice to have players who could have gone elsewhere but chose us for a change!

02 Jun 2015 03:34:25
^^ spot on. Ppl on here always moan about players not playing for the shirt but for the money instead. Here we have a top player in Milner choosing us over huge money offered by city. That's exactly what Liverpool need in the squad, a little passion.
And ings is free, a good back up and wants to play for us.
Most importantly both have prem experience so shouldn't need a settling in period. Unless Rodgers stays then he'll make them both look rubbish

02 Jun 2015 03:42:15
Milner yes , ings no - he didn't have the mental strength to take a penalty to try and help his team stay up, borini scored a similar amount of goals at sunderland, so why do we need ings? if we get strikers in we need quality not 'could do okay' levels.

02 Jun 2015 04:19:47
Try to show a hint of respect bash.

And actually several top tier clubs in the champions league want Milner and some are rumored to want Ings. Get a grip.
Arsenal is interested and city wanted him to stay. Those not top tier?

02 Jun 2015 05:30:40
Sorry but I don't agree. Both are solid players in their own right but that is it. Ings will score the odd goal but will struggle to even break double figures. Milner will always give 100% but this past season has shown we need added quality. We got squad depth last summer so this summer should be about quality. Neither have what it takes to take us drom also rans to top 4 which is our supposed aim. Its just shows BR's small club mentality in my opinion and is just another reason why BR has to go.

02 Jun 2015 06:44:33
Sorry Dorset Red, how often has that premiership proven thing turned out to be a big pile of horse crap, especially for us? We should be buying the highest quality players we can get, regardless of what league they play in. Or better yet, promoting from within our academy. We have many talented young players here whom Brendan simply doesn't trust to play.

02 Jun 2015 08:34:45
What City fans?

01 Jun 2015 21:13:09
A lot of media reporting that Milner is set to sign for us having reached a agreement with a large signing on fee and an increased salary from his current City contract. Worst of all, he is signing because he is guaranteed to be first choice. I find it incredible how we think signing an ageing player on a £100k + contract and offering a guaranteed starting spot is a good deal, especially seeing as though he's actually not as good as people think he is. Once his let's go what does he become? Another poor signing I think hopefully I am proved wrong.

I also don't understand the signing of Ings, why sign a player like him for £5m when we already have Origi and Sinclair at the club? It makes no sense whatsoever.

God knows what else we will waste money on this summer. We always have the money but we never seem to be able to spent it well. Hopefully if Rodgers' gets sacked this week, our interest in those players will disappear.

01 Jun 2015 21:52:05
We approached Messi and Ronaldo before him but they weren't interested.

01 Jun 2015 22:01:48
He is an excellent player and maybe more what we need than any player we have got apart from suarez in the last few days

01 Jun 2015 22:06:13
I think you may be underestimating Milner, and 29 is not old for a modern footballer, especially when considering that Milner has probably only averaged 25 starts a season since joining City. I'm saying his legs are a long way from being shot

I agree with you about our young talent, but ask yourself are they ready now? Are we ready to go into a pivotal season without Gerrard? And lastly ask yourself if 5 million a year in wages is such bad business when shane long ( all due respect to shane, who is an honest player) can command an 11m transfer fee and 2m a year wages?

We need Milner, he is a talented committed all round midfield presence, with genuine leadership qualities and great EPL and CL experience. In the absence of Gerrard and without the ability or finance to attract a players of vidal's quality he is our best bet

Hoody

01 Jun 2015 22:11:30
Why did we look for messi and Ronaldo?? Surely naymar would be more realistic

01 Jun 2015 22:27:36
Ok a lot of people on here dissing Milner well I have played footy with the lad on more then one occasion and all I can say is the lad is a first rate class footballer. He has quick feet and was mentored by joe hart when he was at leeds. I would love to see him in a red shirt he would be an excellent signing for us he is a player who can change a game. Has good tactical awareness. The beauty of getting him although he is 28 he hasn't played much football recently at City and he hasn't any injury issues. If we get him, you'll see what I'm telling you!

01 Jun 2015 23:58:53
I'd make him captain as well

02 Jun 2015 03:50:17
He'd be a good addition. he's probably been in city's top 3 or 4 players this year. a team which finished higher than us. don't know where this notion comes from about him being not good enough. he's also versatile enough to play wing back or centre back which no doubt BR will try at some stage.

02 Jun 2015 05:43:20
Ings has had one fair season in the PL scoring 11 goals. Am sorry but for a striker that isn't exactly setting the world alight. Similar figures to Lambert and how did that work out. Milner cannot get into thefirst team at City on a regular basis but more to the point he cannot get into a poor England side and is only a sub. There has to be a reason for this. There is he is 100% commitment but only 50% quality. Both represent further evidence of our ever present failure to aim high enough in the transfer market and offer further evidence of BR's small club mentality

02 Jun 2015 08:36:14
So Milner is taking up the role of Glen Johnson from next season?

02 Jun 2015 11:16:11
stop spouting nonsense poolie, in case you forgot we are the small club comparedto City nowadays, anything else is delusions!!

01 Jun 2015 20:20:39
Hey Eds; I accept it's widely know that LFC want Borini to look for a new club. Just my own view but i think the kid deserves some credit for saying he wants to stay and fight for his place when so many others can't wait to get out the door.
Our summer targets don't lift spirits either after a dismal season. Ings??? Benteke???? sorry but they are not of Liverpool standard.

01 Jun 2015 23:31:18
Think the fact borini is on 90grand a week and no other club would pay him that may be why he "wants to fight for his place "

02 Jun 2015 03:38:35
Who the f thought it a good idea to give him 90k a week?

02 Jun 2015 11:18:37
Borini is on nowhere near 90 k , that is just a straight up lie. The kid is still on the same money when first signed by rodgers, he hasn't signed any new deals and he is on tops 35 000 a week and rejected double that from QPR in hope BR who bought him would give him a real chance but he was so wrong.

{Ed001's Note - and rejected a pay rise from Sunderland to move there permanently too.}

02 Jun 2015 11:43:33
wow, that is exactly the type of player who desrves his chances, not Balotelli the clown. BR is seriously clueless and very very much out his depth.

01 Jun 2015 18:10:38
The four transfer targets being reported look like 3 mistakes and one no brainer.
Miller would be bloody lovely.
Benteke 30 Mil? Really? Won't fit in with the style of play and has had one good season one very average.never in this world 30 Mil player.
Clyne over rated and will no doubt be over priced.
Ings really Ings? A risk for a mid table club. Don't bother getting him on the books.

Jesus spend the money wisely. Proven quality no more risks!

01 Jun 2015 18:39:03
Ings isn't a risk if we only end up paying 4-5m compensation

Completely agree that Benteke isn't what we need

01 Jun 2015 19:07:11
Have you seen Ings play? The lad can play some ball, mate.

01 Jun 2015 19:09:07
Milner and Ings would be decent signings in my opinion, depends on if you can keep the wages and agent fees low.
Clyne? Yeah maybe. Wouldn't pay silly money though.
Benteke for £30m? I really don't think the club is that stupid. But then again we signed ballotelli, benteke would be just about as useful as him with the way we play. I don't think I would sign benteke for any money as it would a huge waste to play him in a role that wouldn't suit him at all.
Talented player and one I like watching but wouldn't suit us.

01 Jun 2015 19:23:08
Ings would be a great signing for that amount of money.

01 Jun 2015 19:26:18
All this talk of won't fit into our style? Hahaha DNS what style did we just play last season? Pass it round aimlessly at the back until we get pressed into a mistake, loose it then conceded. I don't care if messi is up front it won't help us.

01 Jun 2015 19:43:59
Sort of wonder that myself, O G.

Play style gets thrown around rather frequently, but near as I can figure the only consistent element of our play style is passing the ball about on the ground pretty aimlessly.

Outside of some misguided notion of possession being critical, we've shifted style constantly- high press, no press, pass and move, long ball, 3 at the back, 4 at the back, sweeper keeper, keeper stays on his line, wingbacks, fullbacks, deep playmaker, one holding mid, two holding mids, traditional wingers, wide forwards, sole striker, two strikers, three forwards- all have been tried to the point where I have no idea what we are doing half the time and sadly it often this last season looked like the players were similarly confused about what exactly they were supposed to be doing.

01 Jun 2015 19:52:13
Seen ings play he s done well with ten goals. But one season doing well in the premier is not going to prepare him for lfc. A big club with expectations. Will he handle it? He s a risk for those reasons. Maybe if we had two solid strikers already then fair enough.
Og I'd say suarez helped us a fair bit? Benteke suits long balls and loads of crosses not possession football

01 Jun 2015 20:02:31
None of them players will get us top 4 and that's an absolute fact.
We need a goal scorer before we even think of attempting to bring any other player in. No matter what this is our most important signing of the window.
Then,,, we need a top class goal keeper,, I wouldn't even say Migs is in the top 10 keepers in the prem let alone good enough for top 4. And them are just for starters.

01 Jun 2015 20:08:32
The boy is aweful and not worth 30m. If you have 30 million to waste, then go get him if not, you can sign Son for just btw 20-25m who is way better than him and still have money for Ings.

{Ed001's Note - Son would not be available for 20-25m.}

01 Jun 2015 20:22:28
More or less Ed001?

{Ed001's Note - a lot more.}

01 Jun 2015 21:42:42
Crikey! Well that's us out of the running then;)

01 Jun 2015 21:58:56
We won't pay 30 million for Benteke mark my words, after last summer the Americans won't chance that kind of money on him, 20 mill tops I would say take or leave it.

01 Jun 2015 22:50:42
Then, we better leave Son where he is, Ed. As for Benteke, I'll pay 17m and no more.

{Ed001's Note - Son is not going anywhere, this was dealt with a while back, Champions League qualification was needed to have any chance of signing him. Benteke will cost more than that, and Villa obviously want him out or why keep talking about how he has a contract clause? That to me suggests there is an issue there and we should steer clear.}

02 Jun 2015 06:58:52
Ed001, I believe we erred not getting Son two years ago when he left Hamburg. I think he is a cracking player and has only gotten better the last two years. Disappointed he is out of our reach now.

{Ed001's Note - I agree.}

01 Jun 2015 14:50:54
I don't think Klopp coming out saying he's taking time out means the slightest in deciding Rodgers' future at the club. If he is deemed surplus to requirements, he will get the sack. There are still many managers out there better than Rodgers, and if West Ham can look at de Boer, Emery and Bielsa ( according to SSN) we can look into managers of the same calibre too.

I reckon Klopp will go Bayern anyway at the end of next season, to replace Guardiola, and I can see Guardiola taking over at City for the start of 16/17.

01 Jun 2015 15:59:35
West ham have been knocked back by those managers though, so they are no real barometer. Also FSG want an English speaking manager.
Klopp obviously doesn't fancy the LFC job, it will be the second time he's ruled himself out without being asked.

01 Jun 2015 16:24:18
The job isn't available yet, how can he rule himself out?

01 Jun 2015 18:19:14
People seem to think it is either Klopp comes in or BR stays. That can`t be any futher from the truth, per the eds. BR will get the sack REGARDLESS of what Klopp does or doesn`t do. The main thing now is for us to find the right manager, Klopp or not.

01 Jun 2015 19:10:54
Do you really think a man like Klopp will be able to roll his thumbs and sip on pina coladas for a year? I'm certain he'll be coaching this coming season be it Liverpool or elsewhere. The man is hurting. FSG need to be sensible in any approach and remember, we still have a manager.

01 Jun 2015 19:15:16
Spot on Ohio.
Rodgers needs to go regardless of the availability of Klopp.
I would love for us to bring Klopp in but the fact is Rodgers needs to go and you could pick a managers name out of a hat and they would have more of an impact than Rodgers now.

01 Jun 2015 20:14:43
I can be a better manager than BR on one fundamental point. How, you ask? Well, I can place square pegs in square holes for starters.

02 Jun 2015 07:01:36
Maybe I can be your assistant Redohio, as I can put the round pegs in the round holes. hahaha

01 Jun 2015 13:41:22
I see the Liverpool Echo have filled their front page with all the reasons to keep Rodgers in charge for next season.

01 Jun 2015 13:43:58
It was only a matter of time after the dust settled down before they go back to extolling the virtues of Rodgers. Someone close to Rodgers feeds information to Pearce and he will of course be working on pandering to keep getting that information.

{Ed001's Note - check out the front page mate.}

01 Jun 2015 13:46:30
Must be in extra large font then is it and a small article?

{Ed001's Note - just go look at it.}

01 Jun 2015 13:48:01
because brendan's staying mate!

{Ed001's Note - you might want to look at the front page.}

01 Jun 2015 13:50:36
Not read it yet Ed001, but good god, I just hope someone or two at the club reads what is being said on the LFC pages here. Please, no more BR. As for Klopp, I wonder if he mentioned that he is taking a year out to stop the media asking to many questions! I'm sure Ed001, if the right club came calling (so hope it is LFC), he may just consider the offer and take it up. Having said that, does he want Arsenal or Barca if not LFC (I know he has said he likes or has an affinity to LFC), something like that anyway.

{Ed001's Note - he was expected to take over at Arsenal when Wenger left, but Wenger has decided to extend his stay, so that could still be possible next year.}

01 Jun 2015 13:43:12
What reasons would these be then Ed001? Can't think of any myself!

{Ed001's Note - have a look at the front page and you will see them all mate.}

01 Jun 2015 14:12:50
It's blank HAHAHAHAHAHA

01 Jun 2015 14:15:11
Very good Ed! Thought it was a close up of Rodgers' pearly whites

01 Jun 2015 14:17:30
Positives:
A (MAINLY) BETTER BRAND OF FOOTBALL - not really
BRINGING IN THE YOUNGSTERS - not really
THE TITLE CHALLENGE - check
Flexibility - check

Negatives:
FLEXIBILITY - Check
ADAPTING TO BIG-MONEY SIGNINGS - Check
THE DEFENCE - Check
MENTAL STRENGTH - Check


So 6 negatives and 2 positives (where one of them can also be considered a negative). We need to give him a contract extension.

{Ed001's Note - the front page is blank mate, not sure what you are talking about....}

01 Jun 2015 14:17:58
it is without a doubt the most clueless article i have ever read.

Put one of the positives as bringing through youngsters? are they having a laugh how many first team appearances did texeira get this season? hos suso getting on as well?

{Ed001's Note - eh? The front page was blank.}

01 Jun 2015 14:24:22
There is an article on the echo website i thought you were referring to ed, what is the actual front page of the echo saying ed?

{Ed001's Note - it is a blank page mate. I was kidding about the reasons.}

01 Jun 2015 14:31:27
Ed001, it would be interesting (if you're not to busy?)on your take of the Echo's, for's and against him staying on.

For him still being manager the Echo had.

Better brand of football
Brining in the youngsters
Title challange
Flexibility.

Against him being manager they had.

Flexibility
Adapting to big money signings
The defence
Mental strenghth.

Understand if you can't Ed001, but it would make for a really interesting read in a very cold, and windy, Liverpool on the first day of Summer.

{Ed001's Note - better brand of football was only in evidence for a few months, the rest of the time he has produced what can at best be called insipid football. Awful for large portions of the time.

Bringing in the youngsters is ridiculous, he has barely looked at them.

Title challenge? How many years will he be able to live off one good season?

Flexibility I really don't get. What is so flexible in a good way? He makes nonsense changes that don't work during a game but then reverts straight back to what didn't work for the start of the next game.

He has brought in no one that worked out since Coutinho and Sturridge. The rest of his signings have struggled. So that is defo a negative.

The defence is awful and getting worse each season.

Mental strength of the team is just non-existent, as is passion and desire.

The good point for me, and it really is the only one I can think of now, is that the players have improved technically under his guidance.}

01 Jun 2015 14:58:26
Ed1
Hats off for the original post

01 Jun 2015 15:06:05
To be fair, I think the youngsters part is getting misread. I think the author of the piece isn't talking about bringing players through the academy, but just generally buying younger players, as he talks about the average age of the squad compared to previous seasons. How this I a positive though, is anyone's guess.

{Ed001's Note - I would rather he bought the best players to win now, and brought youngsters through the academy. So I fail to see it as a positive.}

01 Jun 2015 15:08:25
Thanks for the reply Ed001, didn't realise it came up as a blank page on the echo website? Strange that you were joking, over there in sunny, hot Dubai, yet the Echo did a piece on him staying on.

I agree Ed001, can't see many, if any, positives in his three year reign at our great club. Hopefully by the end of this week the Echo can do an article on why he got the sack.

{Ed001's Note - I just saw a thing about how the Liverpool Echo had a blank front page and thought I would make a joke. Sorry mate, I forget people might not have seen it.}

01 Jun 2015 15:51:34
The article of the 9 things Rodgers have said which he regrets now is more of a compelling reason to sack him.

01 Jun 2015 17:55:41
Pearce mustvhave very dirty knees as he's not worth a balloon as a journalist.

Bring back Barrett!

01 Jun 2015 18:28:51
Nice one Ed001. I don't read the Echo in its paper form, but online, and I didn't read it today, but hey man, I wouldn't at all be surprised to hear something along those lines from the Echo soon enough.

01 Jun 2015 20:24:00
So the Liverpool Echo want to keep Rodgers. They want mediocrity and a relegation fight.

Because that is what they will get.

Where are their football brains ??

01 Jun 2015 23:03:31
Then they should hire him for their journo league games after he is shown the door.

01 Jun 2015 13:37:43
Klopp's taking a break then!. long live brendan rodgers :(

01 Jun 2015 14:19:55
There are still many managers available better than Rodgers, I doubt this changes anything

01 Jun 2015 14:38:23
Rodgers is staying mate - i'm not happy about it - but we just have to deal with it.

01 Jun 2015 12:51:21
Ed002,

You regularly reference these 'third parties' who advise the club on decisions, transfers etc.

Its something i have not been aware of and you only seem to have mentioned it recently.

So can you please explain why that is? Is it a recent thing? Who are they and why do they do it?

{Ed002's Note - Lots of clubs use advisors to help them in various ways. Commercially Liverpool has a well known English advisor. They also have advisors who help out with other aspects of the business - including the footballing side. Other clubs use advisors to assess possible transfers (Chelsea is one). Some clubs ask advice from previous managers. They do it to get the best information that they can.}

01 Jun 2015 17:27:20
Is it Kpmg or e&y or those type of firms hired for advisory?? I know these people are into a lot of buisness advisory and also finances. Just curious ed02.

{Ed002's Note - They are accountants - I really think you have misunderstood.}

01 Jun 2015 10:23:08
Morning ed's. Just a quick one, if Rodgers goes what chance of Alex Ferguson coming out of retirement to sort the reds out?

{Ed002's Note - About the same as Lacazette signing.}

01 Jun 2015 10:32:46
So you think there's a really good chance that Ferguson and Lacazette are both coming to Liverpool this summer thanks Ed002, Can't wait to put this news out on twitter you're the best Ed002.

01 Jun 2015 11:40:04
Perhaps with Gerrard as ball boy and Carragher as the mascot?

{Ed001's Note - Gary and Phil Neville as the coaching dream team?}

01 Jun 2015 09:28:19
Hi Eds

When is the end of year review going to take place, its saying MR Werner is coming to the UK tomorrow etc, when i thought it was happening in Boston? i'm sure you guys will be inundated in the coming days about this so thought i would get in their first. lol

{Ed002's Note - Just let things run their course please. Representatives of the owners have been in Europe - there is much to do and business continuing.}

01 Jun 2015 10:40:22
Cool i will do ed 2 thanks for the update!

01 Jun 2015 01:21:56
none of us really know who the next manager will be IF Rodgers was to be sacked. let's look at a few names mentioned before and my personal opinion on whether they would come or not.

Klopp- several clubs in better circumstances have looked at him e.g Napoli. he's not been approached yet but i'd think he would come.

De boer- latest from ed2 is he thinks he's likely to stay so i will rule him out for now.

Schmidt- done brilliantly with Leverkusen and now in champs league. After being there a year i wouldn't expect him to leave. They have more funds better players and champions leaguebto play.

Favre- again like Schmidt done fantastic with monchengladbach and in champions league. don't expect him to move at all.

Ancelotti- a no go and wants time off is what I've read unless he goes to city maybe.

Rafa- answers itself

Unai Emery- done brilliantly with sevilla and into the champions league. Wanted by some big clubs but i'd defo go for him if available. Fantastic manager.

Avb- ed2 mentioned that avb told someone he wouldn't want it so i'd rule him out.

Jorge Jesus- done fantastic with Benfica after the players they've sold. if he was available i'd look at him aswell.

So in summary my 3 to look at would be:-
Klopp, Emery, Jesus

No doubt none of these will get it haha

{Ed002's Note - Interesting that you have chosen to ignore Julen Lopetegui and Bob Bradley.}

Lopetegui and Bradley have even less experience than BR at the highest level

{Ed001's Note - international management is the highest level and he has plenty of experience of that.}

01 Jun 2015 06:59:09
I'd suggest that's an outmoded view and that the highest level is now club football, but that's just my opinion

{Ed001's Note - you would be wrong, whether I like it or not, and I really dislike international football, it is the highest level of the game. It is a fact, not an opinion. Now you could question whether managing USA and Egypt is in the top bracket, which they probably are not, but they are at the highest level.}

You could argue managing Liverpool is a harder job than managing Egypt or USA ed001.
Bigger egos, mixed cultures/beliefs, language barriers, brutal press interviews, overly optimistic fans.
I would rather as a manager be managing USA, they always seem professional (for footballers).

{Ed001's Note - never said anything about which was easier, nor do I see the relevance to the point being made mate. Club football is always going to be more difficult, you have to manage 365 days a year in club football, international football is only a few months a year. International football is still the highest level though.}

Sorry ed didn't know about them. Interesting shout the porto manager. Not too keen on bradley myself. Has galtier been considered of st ettiene?

{Ed002's Note - I am not getting in to any detail at all - I have explained that the club has been advised about some possible options should the circumstances arise that they need a new manager. I am aware of someone being suggested that won't happen. I have also explained that there are also a couple of others that should not be discounted.}

Eds what about managers like Gourvennec and Galtier whose dream club is LFC?

THANKS

{Ed002's Note - What about them.}

01 Jun 2015 04:55:17
Bradley Ed? That's interesting. I just know him from his time coaching the U.S. You think highly of him?

{Ed002's Note - They are just names, there is little point speculating whilst Liverpool has a manager.}

01 Jun 2015 08:18:30
Any interest in Julen Lopetegui Ed002 or just a random name? I was going to mention him earlier in the season seemed to be playing great attacking football at Porto

A friend of mine knows a player who currently plays for Bob Bradley at Staebek, and the player can't stop praising Bradley. Personally, I think Bradley is not the right choice.

What Bradley has done with Stabæk is out of this world. Stabæk was a first division club with a real chance of going under. After Bradley came in, they now look like a title contender, playing beatiful football and also attracting players. But there is some leap from Stabæk to LFC of course.

We need the right manager and not just a new one.
