Away from the transfer discussions and West Ham fallout for a few minutes.
(I'd like to preface this as it sounds like bull, and if it is then I apologise in advance, but i'm just passing on the message)
A friend of mine apparently recently played a round of golf in a group ahead of Carra.
He asked him whether he was thinking of going into coaching/management or if he is focusing on his TV work?
Carra said that he loves his TV work and is falling out of love with the idea of managing as the pressure/media harassment is just stupid. But that he likes the idea of doing some coaching. However he doesn't feel his contribution would be welcome or helpful under BR as they have very different views on how training should be run and the tactics needed on the pitch.
He did say however that he thought Liverpool had 3 very high quality CBs at the club (he wouldn't say who they were).
Like I said, it sounds like bull to me, but the guy has never led me wrong before, always a first time I guess.
Have a great day all

Carragher generally isn't one for holding back his opinion even in front of TV.(Laughing at the idea of coloccini becoming a manager springs to mind,as well as his complete character annihaltion of jose enrique)
He's said before on MNF and in interviews he would never consider management due to the pressures and what he saw as the toll on Houllier and others.
He doesn't get on with Brendan (atleast that's what I always thought from interviews) since he was dropped stubbornly by BR. Everytime he criticises Liverpool BR seemed to take it personally and respond to the press. It does feel at times there is bad blood there,I can't imagine Carragher sharing the same defensive views of a man that seems to have none

I know it won't happen, at least for now, but what do people make of Carragher as a coach? We only have his analysis from TV to go on but would still appreciate people's views?

Ah, that would explain where Ed001 gets all his anti-BR info from !
{Ed001's Note - there is bad blood, but no, it is not from him. He did leave earlier than he intended to because of Rodgers, but I wouldn't want to get info from him because of the personality clash, similar to Gerrard. They are too personally involved.}

I always said if carragher stayed that one more season we would have won the league. You think our defence would drop so deep like they did against palace with Jamie there?

Don't take this the wrong way Ed001, but if I had any authority at LFC, the first thing I would do would be to weed out the person giving you the information and sack him. He doesn't seem to show any loyalty to his employers
{Ed001's Note - or perhaps they, and yes that is plural, have loyalty to the club and feel that something needs to be done to improve it, instead of blindly following like you do. Some people don't have their heads up their own backside and can see what a mess the club is in, that is not lacking loyalty, it is not being a fool. I feel you fail to understand the nuances involved in loyalty.}

My understanding of the nuances involved in loyalty is when someone is paying your wages you don't go mouthing off behind their backs. Grow a pair and either make your concerns known to the club or go public with them. If any of the people I used to employ did that to me I would have sacked them immediately

Red, you just got owned by Ed. Oh Snap!
{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't bother, even his post showed how lacking in understanding he is with his reply. Going public would mean they would have their contracts terminated and struggle to get another club. If he is so dense he thinks the club have not been told, hence why players such as Agger got alienated in the first place, then he is beyond help. Have a look 64, even the biggest imbecile can surely see why it is not a good idea to point out inadequacies in the coaching as it means you never get a game again unless the situation gets desperate.}
