surely we need a manager that can attract big name players. As Kenny and Rafa did.
27 May 2015 21:13:23
Big wages and Champions league positions dictate that.

You do realise we have never really bought world class talent. Ever!
Noone has attracted anymore than Brendan!
And the club will never go ib that direction with these owners (no critism but its not brendans fault were not after these so called world class players) itd the model we work under.
I know the others brought players that would turn into the world class bracket but they were not bought that way!
Alonso 10m, mash 17m, Torres 24mil, reins 4 mil
Suarez 22 mil
Coutinho 8 mil

What big names did Kenny attract?
27 May 2015 21:54:32
Irish Rover he bought the biggest SUAREZ
27 May 2015 21:59:10
Irish Rover - Peter Beardsley, Glen Hysen (taking him from under Taggarts nose), Johnny Barnes, Rushie back from Juve, Steve McMahon, John Aldridge, Ray Houghton, Alan Shearer, David Batty, Tim Flowers. All part of league title winning teams.

007,think you'll find hodgson had already signed Suarez before dalglish took over
27 May 2015 22:25:28
Lol. The OP shold have thrown Bob Paisley in as well. Total nonsense off course going back 20 odd years. i'm not surprised.
Ps Kenny did not bring Suarez. The deal was already done.
27 May 2015 22:27:49
Whoever the people are who disagree that KING KENNY never bought Suarez need to look it up as its a FACT and not a stat.
27 May 2015 22:40:28
Why's it nonsense Rover? Kenny attracted those players did he not?
27 May 2015 22:43:46
i think you will find dalgiesh spotted Suarez whilst commentating and bought him. Rodgers claimed it was him but was taking credit for something he didn't do.
27 May 2015 22:45:19
There was interest in Suarez before Keeny took over as caretaker and if you want facts surely Fsg signed him?
27 May 2015 23:01:49
Actually when have Liverpool ever signed a big named player? Havent all these players had the majority of their fame/success at Liverpool? Was Suarez a big name at Ajax or did he make his name at Lfc. What about Aldo, Alonso etc?
27 May 2015 23:04:36
Lallana £25m?
Lovren £20m?
Allen £15m?
That is what we are in for when we sell Sterling and have BR in charge to spend the money.
27 May 2015 23:23:19
So Hodgson attracted Suarez???
28 May 2015 00:17:07
KK oversaw the final lap of Suarez's arrival but it was Roy who sparked the deal and laid the ground work. Suarez was already bent on coming here before KK took over
27 May 2015 23:23:41
Whoever pressed disagree to the Kenny signings would you please let me know which of the said players you disagree he signed.
28 May 2015 05:17:06
Suarez was the captain of Ajax. They were holding on to 35 Mil for suarez , due to his biting habit, we got him for 22 Mil.
Same with barcelona they got him for 65-70 Mil reduced prize due to biting. still it is considered bargain. Think what hell of a player he is.
He was already known player while playing for ajax and his handball against Khana.

Irish Rover's point was about KD's second spell as Manager at LFC, not what happened a quarter of a century ago. But sure, LFC fans like to throw the past in your face whenever any sort of discussion is on-going.
And to answer the OP's question, a big manager does attract big players, but none of these big names would take a huge pay cut to join LFC now with Rodgers in charge, and no CL football.
Liverpool FC attracted Luis Suarez, not Hodgson, Dalglish or Benitez.
28 May 2015 09:46:03
This is just wrong
