"When you say every big club in Europe will be after young players, that's obvious, but we really want to concentrate on getting young English or British kids"
=======
So the likes of Suso, Pacheco Mavinga and Ayala might as well pack their bags and go .
It explains why the only kids that Roy used were English and it also proves Mavinga complaint was a genuine one.

"We [Hodgson and him] already had a good relationship from my time at Spurs. We've been talking at length since I joined, several times a day on different issues and different matters, we talk about everything.
I think this relationship is going to grow in a positive way, that's for sure. We see things the same way. So far everything we have discussed we totally agree and have the same vision. I expect that's going to go on."
======
We are in deep trouble . . agree on everything with the same vision .
There is more:
- - - - - - -

"When you see the clubs he has managed and the national teams he has managed, what he's done at Fulham, what he's done at Blackburn"
=====
What has he done in Fulham and Blackburn Mr Commolli
- - - - - -

I was initially excited by his (Commolli) appointment , I thought he is the first step into a better change, now I not sure, and dare I say I am not sure about NESV either, I was concerned with their policy about selling players at their peak, and was even more concerned when Henry went on record saying he would have sold Gerrard in the summer if he had the club.
Are we on route to become a feeder club, will Fergie start having his private chats with Hodgson instead of Moyes , will Kelly be the next united right back, or Pacheco maybe taking Giggs position.

A very worrying few months ahead.

Regarding Carragher; As I said, I wasn't there so you maybe right. .just reporting what I heard.

Maybe I am being a bit too sensitive but should he be calling any of our fans pricks at the moment, especially after a performance like that?

Suppose I needed to be there!

I think sometimes he thinks he is Liverpool's BIGGEST fan when clearly he has a bit of competition but I would never, ever doubt his commitment to the cause.

I just wish he'd tell Roy to do one!

Ed why in gods name has Dani Pacheco not got a look in this season so far. with Cole out so much he is the perfect replacement and i genuinely believe could be a future star. he has that something different, unpredictable that we are lacking at the moment. I heard he was late for a squad meeting or something and was being punished by Roy. . . . well if this is true Roy what punishment have u given to the 20 or so 1st team squad members that havent shown up all season. Roy time to get it together or piss off and leave somebody else have a go. Dave the irish red {ed's note - Roy just doesn't think the lad is up to the job, shame because he is talented.}

I didn't go to the match on Saturday but two of my mates and others since have confirmed that Carragher shouted to a section of the crowd chanting 'Dalglish', calling them 'pricks'.

Got no agenda against Carragher at all but think that this is pretty telling. I've no reason to doubt my mates who have no reason to slate him either. Bit of a case of JC thinking he's 'above the law' in terms of the club maybe? Maybe he's got a bit of a misguided 'loyalty' to Hodgson. .after all, he did get that moody two year extension to his contract just before the NESV takeover. Maybe I am being unfair but Jamie, you're not allowed to call fans, who paid a lot of money to watch the rubbish you and your mates have just served up, a load of pricks. .bit naughty that. HODGSON OUT


Know a few lads myself who went to the game, and they said it wasn't aimed at the Dalglish chant, there was apparently a small group who were giving Carra abuse for his performance. Some even flicking the 'V's at him. Disgraceful way to treat one of the clubs all-time great's, and obviously Jamie didn't take too kindly to it.

Sorry everyone Henry and comolli r both supporting Roy and me for one am beginning to hate that man apparently that all have the same vision, I'm Jus hoping that don't mean defend defend defend his away record is shameful and in Jan I'm expecting to see Carlton Cole and as much as it hurts me to say this I believe sub him in charge we will be finishing in the bottom half of the table, no Europa league footy never mind CL Fa least 2 years not a rumour Jus my opinion of what Henry and comolli av said according to the press. Ed I thought Liverpool were looking for a new manager? Why is Henry saying its not Roys fault when clearly away from home he plays to not loose?

In response to TomRed has Villas Boas indeed been approached what is your source? Im not sure he would jump ship midway through the season?

ed what do you think?

Kopsan {ed's note - indeed he won't jump ship in the middle of the season, you are correct, that is the problem NESV had finding a replacement.}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Like I said in my original post, it's likely to happen at the end of the season. Everything I'm hearing from within the club, although its very difficult getting any info at the moment, is that Roy will stay until the summer. Andre and a few others including Deschamps are in the frame. Our new DOF has a good relationship with Didier but if I was a betting man I'd say Andre has the edge.

I know a lot of people are mad in love wit the idea of pep Guardiola becoming manager, but not me.
First off, why would he come? He is a catalan coaching at the club he has been at since his boyhood.
Second, what has he actually done at Barca besides win trophies. Yes his side play fantastic football but he did not introduce that style. I do not like Rjikaard that much but here is no denying he is the mastermind behind Barca. Guardiola's best move was clearing out some "superstars" that were holding the team back. Yes that took stones but it was a pretty obvious move.
Finally, he coaches at Barca! You cannot by any means compare that to Liverpool. They buy any player they want and have made some very unwise decisions during his time like Eto plus 60m for Ibra, then sell Ibra a year later for half of that.
I think it is plain to see I admire Guardiola but I don't want him at our club. What do you think of him Ed?
Anfield Rapstar {ed's note - I am torn on him, on the face of it he looks a great choice, but on closer examination I am not entirely sure.}

BIN ROY! {ed's note - all I can say is that you have to judge for yourself, when I don't know something I do make a point of saying so. I believe that what I have been told is extremely reliable, the same source was telling me that O'Neill was leaving Villa when every other site was talking about who he was going to be buying. I was also right that NESV were already searching for a new manager, as Pellegrini himself has confirmed. I can't really do any more than give what info I have and leave you to decide yourself whether to trust what I say or not.}

Roys grand master plan is to get us playing like below

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has had six seasons in English football in the last 15 years. In all of that time though he has a quite incredible statistic of racking up only 13 away wins. Here are the stats shown below:

1997/ 98 - Blackburn Rovers - 5 Away wins - Finished 6th
1998/ 99 - Blackburn Rovers - 0 Away wins - Sacked when 20th
2007/ 08 - Fulham - 3 Away wins - Finished 17th
2008/ 09 - Fulham - 3 Away wins - Finished 7th
2009/ 10 - Fulham - 1 Away win - Finished 12th
2010/ 11 - Liverpool - Away win - Currently ?

To be fair, three of those seasons (1998/ 99, 2007/ 08 and 2010/ 11), have seen Hodgson not able to play all the away fixtures as he was sacked by Blackburn Rovers in December 1998, he was hired by Fulham in December 2007 and he has only had six away fixtures in the league this season with Liverpool. It still means though that in 82 Away fixtures in the Barclays Premier League, Hodgson has only been on the winning side on 13 occasions. A 16% win ratio which is not sustainable for a top four club that Liverpool aspire to be.

This is a few days old so the present day stats are somewhat out. but look at the history of the man in the premier. man alive who can possibly consider this man our saviour.

The main issue we have is that the decision makers are either backing roy till the end of the season. or being too diplomatic for their own good. To be honest we wouldn't really expect john henry to come out and say roy is for the chop as soon as we get a better replacement.

I think the man is on borrowed time. i just don't think anyone really knows how long that time may be

These are quotes from damien comolli on LFC.TV website as most of you may have already seen.

How keen are you to work with and develop a relationship with Roy Hodgson?

"We already had a good relationship from my time at Spurs when he was coach at Finland or Fulham. We've been talking at length since I joined, several times a day on different issues and different matters, not only related to the transfer window or to scouting, we talk about everything. I think this relationship is going to grow in a positive way, that's for sure. We see things the same way. So far everything we have discussed we totally agree and have the same vision. I expect that's going to go on."


Now IF roy hodgson is getting the boot soon? or this week or watever , why is damien comolli saying " i think this relationship is going to grow in a positive way , that's for sure" now to me that doesn't sound like roys going to be leaving anytime soon , i know your probably gonna say " yeh but he isn't gonna come out and say we getting rid of him" but he didn't have to say wat he did , now i am gutted with this cause i actually want to get rid of hodgson i think its something that needs to happen quickly but it doesn't look that way. I Think king kenny is the man at least for now , hes mr liverpool he knows what the fans want to see , he loves the club and he wants us to be at the top of the league just like any other fan. to me he is the perfect replacement now , he has said he wants the job as well.

If John Henry really wants to bring back the glory days like he has said so since NESV took over then he has to bring in the most successful manager/ coach over the past few years, whose contract expires in the summer therefore would command no compensation fee. The guy I'm talking about is Pep Guardiola.

How many people follow Spanish football? If so, you'll all know what I'm on about when I say he would be amazing for us. We would match Arsenal for the way they place attractive, attacking football. We would have a manager who would want us to go and play to win. If we are drawing, he wouldn't bring on a defensive player, we'd go and try and nick the win. He has also expressed a desire in the past to coach in England.

NESV want young, talented players. So why not set an example by appointing a young, talented manager? He is only 39, and with financial backing, he could take us from stength to strength. How much of an attractive proposition is it for players if they had an offer from Liverpool to play for one of the best managers in the world in charge of the most successful British club in history and a European giant? It's mothwatering.

Also, with Guardiola being Spanish, we'd have that connection between Reina and Torres with the manager again and they'd be instantly happy with this appointment no doubt.

If NESV want to be the best then they have to bring in the best.

With this in mind, why not give it a shot? What have we got to lose?

I'd like to think if anyone agrees with me,
Believable = Agree
Unbelievable = Disagree

Frank.

I know for a fact that Andre Villas Boas has been approached. By all accounts a positive response was forthcoming, not sure when he'll be appointed though. I would guess the end of the season.

Anyone still wanting to keep Roy in charge should take a good look at our performances this season, we are in a false position at the moment and actually have more points than we deserve, West Brom, Birmingham and Wigan all should've beaten us and Bolton did more than enough for a draw which means we have 7 points more than merited, on our displays so far we should be joint bottom of the league. . .Please Roy, for the good of the club go now.

"Ed, just read Paul tomkins latest article (a good read, I advise you all to look it up) and he mentions something about Dani pacheco gone to Coventry?"

I haven't read the article, but being 'sent to coventry' is an expression meaning to be ostracised or ignored. I think its prob about that, rather than actually going to coventry city.

I believe the contract Roy Hodgson signed allows NESV to sack him as manager , if they pay him 1 years salary , within 28 days of that contract termination .

Surely he can be replaced at anytime during his 3 year agreement , under those same conditions .

Hodgson looked totally shellshocked on Sturday pre and post match.

Ed you say the replacement hasnt being chosen, but why not get rid of hodgson and leave someone in temp charge, anyone has to be better than this fool, could camoli not step in, and would it not speed up the process of getting a new coach in? {ed's note - I don't know mate, I am not the one making the decisions, if it was up to me that is what I would do, but our owners want to get the right man in before replacing Hodgson.}

Where in the history of NESV have they sold a club for profit so soon after buying. So many people talking carp on here. Give the owners a chance to sort it out. That means this transfer window and the summer. In the mean time the manager and backroom staff will be sorted and bigger stadium plans will be there for all to see.

If we are looking for an attack minded coach who will just concentrate with matters on the field and get on with Comolli then we should be looking no further than Tigana. . I know not all great players go on to become great coaches but this guy is a real legend and could manage all the young inevitable french talent that monsieur Comolli will seek to bring over here. .Red Beard YNWA. . and bordeaux have a blinding young forward in Modeste and a superbe left back in Tremoulinas. .

On the Sky Sports website, there's a page with Roy outlining he is doing his best. Well it looks like his best is not good enough! I just don't understand his tactics when away from home. Against Chelsea and Blackburn, we were excellent, we came out of the blocks and attacked them from the off. In our recent games against Wigan and Stoke, we probably had about 5 mins worth of quality play, which resulted in Torres' goal.
Roy at present has not idea how to handle the media either. Rafa left me a rubbish squad, Rafa says he left a good squad, Roy says sorry. Glen needs to buck up his ideas, Glen is disappointed to hear this, Roy says sorry.
The only problem at present for the board is that there aren't many (available) managers out there, who can really get Liverpool where they want to be. Owen Coyle for me would be a good appointment, as would Roberto Di Matteo (he isn't leaving WBA anytime soon, he has brought a new flat in Leamington Spa), but I;m pretty sure these managers wouldn't want a director of football, so a manager from the continent to work with Comolli is likely. I think Didier Deschamps would have been a great appointment in the summer, but he said that we came too late, but we should go for him again. I think we really missed a trick in the summer in not getting Gary Mac back at the club.

I've said it before. Forget your O'Driscoll's and O'Neils. The man to take Liverpool forward is Andre Villas Boas. This guy is the next Mourinho and unlike the original is attainable and probably for a smaller salary than Hodgson earns.

Damien comoli interview is worth a look! he says some encouraging things.
and ed i know yoyu've been asked this before, but the answer is finally here, dimitri payet, has got to be the most likely player we will sign, i mean comlolli is from his club, he filled him with praise, and his job is to find talent. This guy is quick and skillful.another possibility is that m'vila fella'.comolli is searching for youngsters, this guy is already capped and is set to play against engalnd on wednesday! probably a risky one tho, lucas was touted to be amazing.i would prefer lass diarra. .

sign hulk for 18m, Payet for 12m, Gary cahill for 10m, and diarra or m'villa for 14m!

Thinks its true at any club if the fans start chanting for the manager out he's not going to last much longer. The king was fans choice all along (mine as well) so I don't understand why they didn't give him the job in first place. We can't carry on after every defeat people chanting for the king. Unless a big name manager was appointed last summer I think this was always going to be a problem.

Liverpool fans are the most loyal of fans so its really bad news if they chant for you out!

Stop all this nonsense!
Just because Rafa was Spnaish it seems we only walk round with Spanish contact lenses on!
There are scores of managers scattered across Europe in the Bundesliga and Eredivisie AND in this land that are the equal and more than these Spanish guys.
It's like the usual stuff about BMW and Mercedes cars; Italian designer gear and holidays in Spain. Plenty of excellent homegrown material here, but we always hanker after something trendy and often foreign.
Spain?
A refuge for UK criminals.
A country that emabrrassingly backed out of the current Middle East conflict when ONE bomb went off in Madrid.
A country that took 69 years to win any major trophy.
A country that was ruled by a fascist for 38 years.
A country that gave us Juande Ramos.
A country that sells fish & chips and the Sun newspaper to UK tourists.
Come on!
What sort of country do we want to put up as a great footballing nation?
It wouldn't be Spain for me.The country of Spain are current World Champions and I believe the top team in world football at the moment? So why pick a spanish manager? let me think about it? i'm not saying they are all going to be good and discount the rest of the world but don't have a go at spain when they obviously know a lot about football too. lets get behind the boys and watch things unfold as i'm sure they will soon.

"My choice of manager wud be 1 of the following

"JOHN TOSCHAK
RAFA BENITEZ
MARTIN O'NEIL
FLORES-A.MADRID COACH"

Firstly, ust to correct you, pal, we're looking for a coach, and not a manager.
Number 2, I, just like the ed, thought the chief reason for wanting Hodgson out was because of the way he plays the game.So, quite why O'Neill, who's just as bad-if not worse than-Hodgson, is in that list boggles my mind.

Thirdly, I don't mean to question your intelligence of the game, but do you know your cheek from your elbow (is that how they say it, ed?lol).
I cannot for the life of me understand why somebody would put Flores in the same category as O'Neill.

Flores and O'Neill are two completely DIFFERENT breeds, with the former being the type that most Reds crave, and should get.Christ!I can't believe someone would even have the temerity to suggest this guy.

Lastly, ed, if we're to appoint someone like O'Driscoll, I think it be much more better to let work under, say, Kenny/ Hiddink, for about a year or two. .instead of just thrusting him like that.
Let him get attuned to such an environment and it's rigors.Then give him the shot a year or two later.

It's the route Mourinho took;and more recently, one Andre Boas also took.
Boas was with the egomaniac (who, by the way, I don't want at Anfield) at Chelsea and then at Inter, before taking the reigns at Porto.

Boas is well-travelled;well aqcuainted with the "big"-club environment, something I cannot say the same for O'Driscoll.But that's not to say he'll fail, just that it would do him a world of good if he were to start out that way.
The same goes for DiMatteo.

Sack Hodgson, hire Kenny/ Giddink for a year or two, with DiMatteo (or ed's O'Driscoll) as number two.The Italian will then take over after Kenny/ Hiddink step down.
Alternatively, just give it to Boas.The boy really is immense;very impressive his tutelage is.

Oh, ed, judging from his comments post-Stoke, could it be that Hodgson is paving the for way his adios amigos?Christ!The man looks and sounds a seriously broken chap going through the motions, though I still think we'll still be seeing more of him more than we'd like.
Life can be fuuken bitch, hey!

I say, give Hodgson some time. He needs to sell the deadwood players who don't want to play for us (bable. . . ). We need a quick winger who is not afraid to go past a man, and who is good at crossing, so el nino can work his magic. prehaps matty Jarvis would be a good choice (young, english). We also need a backup stricker for torres, prehaps benzema (he's out of favour at madrid, and he's young and a good player). With carra passing his best a couple of seasons ago, we need a center back, with pace and who is good at defending set pieces (maybe mexes from roma?). With that we could be seeing a team like like this:

.reina

johnson. kyrgiakos. .mexes. konchesky


gerrard. meireles.
.cole .jarvis

benzema.
torres.

Ah the seemingly never ending wait for Roys departure drags on for yet another day. After sifting through various versions of the same interview throughout my working day i've come to the conclusion the the ass clown knows his days are numbered and i merely looking for his pension. They do say its always the quiet ones and so now i call on NESV to show some balls and just fire him. Its not difficult sometimes its enjoyable especially when they're about as inspiring as a drawing of sad sack on a scrotum. If the lads on international duty came back and Woy and his fellow clown shoes had gone i'm sure we would instantly see a vast improvement in performances, attitude and desire. Thats a no brainer to use language our American custodians would understand.

When asked about the sort of player we should be looking for, part of his answer was this. I've capitalised the bit the worries me.
If that is thewir target - this is a whole lot more sh. te than I thought! This is LFC forGod's sake - 4 or 5 years - you are sh. .ing me! What happened to proper ambition!


"That's one thing, which is very important, but the other thing which is very important is what's good for the club in the future. Not doing a quick fix over six months. Can this player come here and improve us, help us to win things, TO GET INTO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE YEARS"

That's because he's simply not good enough to manage our football club. Roy Hodgson isn't good enough to manage our club, and he has done a lot more in his career and has way more experience than O'Driscoll.

We'll go by your theory for picking managers then. Lets hire Sporting Gijon manager Manuel Preciado. Kept them in one of the best leagues in the world (not lower leagues) for like 6 years with a budget most La Liga teams would laugh at. Perfect candidate. {ed's note - you do realise that the Championship is ranked in the top ten of world league's don't you? Ranked above many top flights from around the world because of its difficulty, quality of player and money floating around in it.}

Martin O'Neil is the right man for the job, he took a struggling Villa side and turned them into top 6 with not alot of money. He bought on players like gabby, young, milner, barry and turned Villa into a good side. From what I'm hearing, Henry is looking for young players to turn them into great players. I think he would be fantastic at a side like liverpool. Prem trophy in 3 years with O'neil. {ed's note - except that he fell out originally with Lerner due to his refusal to use young players.}

I really don't know what Roy is doing at such a great club, firstly when he joined he was looking at bringing in mainly English players, the only English players signed so far are Cole (Free) & Konk (who have proved so far to be sh*te) then he goes out of his way it seems to alienate Glen Johnson (England RB) so much so, he now wants to leave? What the Fck is this man doing? and why is he still the manager of our great club.
Please, Please NESV if you read this, sack him now as we are in real trouble if you don't, Reina, Torres and possibly Gerrard will want out if he stays, because on current form i don't see us finishing in the top half of the table.

One very upset & annoyed LFC fan.

THE ROY HODGSON & AVRAM GRANT SACK RACE

Ed. .someone posted this quote from roy

'I can't get upset every time the fans chant someone's name. Fans make their frustrations felt every time we lose a game - but unfortunately they may have to do that a few more times this season, because I can't see us winning every game'

if this is true, then this IMO is essentially his sacking notice to NESV! they can just use this quote and say you're not fulfilling you're duty as a custodian of liverpool FC, which is to protect the image and dignity at ALL TIMES. .what an absolute plonker!

to break it down further he's saying the players are not good enough to consistenly win.
he's talking about the same 8 or so players at the club who came 2nd two seasons ago. reina, carra, agger, skrtel, gerrard, kuyt, torres, lucas plus aurelio, ngog, babel.
and in saying this he's also saying that he's not as good as rafa, as he can't get them to perform to the same standard rafa did.

what i don't want is our manager to be talking non-stop crap, cause let's face it that is what he is doing! he should take a leaf out kenny's philosophy i.e. less is more. all he seems to do i keep diging holes for himself to climb out of (which he's not) and to be honest i'm getting sick of it.

the way we played sat was unreal and sickening. and this is all down to his management style.

AT BEST. RH was a short term solution. and i think his time has come to move on/ over.

who to bring in? as well as the ususal suspects(hiddink, rijkaard) and the ed mentions o'driscoll non-stop. but what about Roberto Martinez?

if anything he's proven himself lower down as a progressive manager and at wigan doing a great job playing good footy.
he's young, speaks spanish(which can only help) and seems like a decent fella who doesn't talk crap.

o'driscoll is good but will find it hard to manage/ motivate the players, whereas roberto is already managing in the prem with bigger ego-ed players so kinda gets it

i say give him a go. can't be any worse than WOY {ed's note - I actually said my choices would be O'Driscoll, Di Matteo, Laudrup or Pellegrini, it is just that everyone jumped on O'Driscoll.}

But I don't think he's even been linked with the job or mentioned as a candidate, so no point even talking about him. {ed's note - who cares about tactical warfare? The point is he would go out and try and WIN, that is something we need from a manager, regardless of the opposition faced.}

* * * * * * *

there needs to be some level of tactics! there's going out to win a game with tactics, and then going out to win with no tactics and getting hammered! {ed's note - you really are misreading my point.}

O'Driscoll is a good manager yeah, but look at what some players have said recently.
Reina said he came to Anfield because of Rafa.
Torres and Masch were the same.
Although he is not a good player, Konchesky came with Roy, what players would follow O'Driscoll Ed?

Andy Bootle {ed's note - players that want to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world and would be loyal to the club not the manager. That is what we need, by the way Torres came to play for Liverpool, not Rafa. We need to get back to being about Liverpool first and foremost.}

How about Dario Gradey from crewe as manager he took crewe from the 2nd devision to the championship with very little funds. ok they maybe back down but he wasnt manager then, he had to be brought back in and thay play some good attackin footy what do you think ed? {ed's note - Gradi is the best coach for bringing through youth talent in the country, but he lives for Crewe and there is no chance of him leaving. He has rejected the chance to get involved with Liverpool and England in the past. Shame, I would love to see Gradi involved at Liverpool, he realises the benefits of having a system that all the players work with from the moment they join the club.}

yer it s shame recon he would be good. .ED is crewe still a feeding club for us because i know crewe have got 2 England under 17s (cant remember there names) that we were after, and i read crewe weren't happy about it? {ed's note - not any more mate, that agreement ended a while ago, I know the players you are on about though. One is Nick Powell, a striker, though I can't remember the other guy's name off the top of my head.}

And getting tactics spot on is part of winning isn't it?

You say people like Souness is a step back? Well so is someone like O'Driscoll! He's not the man for Liverpool and he never will be. {ed's note - I never said anything about Souness, but only an idiot would think that he is an option, the man sold his soul for money. You have no idea about O'Driscoll at all, you are just judging him by your own arrogant assumptions that Liverpool are too big a job for a guy who is managing in the lower leagues. Without a single idea of what kind of man he is or whether he is capable of rising up to the challenge of a bigger job.}

{ed's note - yes but Hodgson has been managing teams that have much bigger comparative budgets. Doncaster, for instance, have a budget most League One sides would laugh at, it is basically a League Two budget. Yet he is keeping Donnie in contention for the play offs season after season.}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

And fair play to him, but there have been many managers like that in the lower leagues over the years. I don't know what makes O'Driscoll stand out from the rest.

When we're talking about building a side to win the league and compete in the Champions League, he's not, and never will be imo, the sort of man who can lead us there and I highly doubt he could handle the pressure of the Liverpool job, nor could he earn the respect of top class players like Torres.

Imagine him vs. Mourinho in tactical warfare.

But I don't think he's even been linked with the job or mentioned as a candidate, so no point even talking about him. {ed's note - who cares about tactical warfare? The point is he would go out and try and WIN, that is something we need from a manager, regardless of the opposition faced.}

Loving the site and thansk for posting by babel comment, it was just a suggestion. .and i was wrong, lol. anyway that wasnt the main point of my "rant" my main points were the top one and the bottom one and i was just interested to see what other fans thought, any chance you can give them a go and tell me what you think too?

Thanks

Why has everyone criticised Roy for bringing in a left back (not saying he's any good) when he can't even sort the right side out. game against stoke we had (from what I saw it looked like 4-4-2) cara (cb) playing right back and Meireles (cm) playing right midfield. Kelly is coming on I don't understand why we don't use him more, he's happy to play him in Europe but won't use him against Everton, His team selection is becoming as good as old rafa was towards the end of last season.


Another point to make, I was at the last game of the season and Aqualani played, he was one of our best players on the pitch, fought for the ball and gave everything in that game, why when he just started to show his worth did we ship him out? I'm not saying he is the best player in the squad but I don't understand why we let him go especially when he is playing so well now.

(sorry i don't mean to keep sending the same stuff, just interested in other peoples thoughts)

In response to the following post by the adorable Pure White Owl:

OI! Mr Red Owl if your mighty Liverpool so much as come sniffing the same air as Owen Coyle it's no nookie for you (i don't care how good you are) and don't you try winning him over with that scouse pie in the new year.
You can leave off our Cahill too although I think ge would be fantastic buy for Liverpool and I would rather him go to your lot than the likes of Salford Us* ted or Moneychester City.
Pure White Owl x

Fair exchange is no robbery, so, if we allow Mr. Coyle and Mr. Cahill the opportunity to further their careers at Anfield, I for one would be more than willing to offer you Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Poulsen in exchange. That way we can all be friends again.

I am 68 years old and remember when Bill Shankley was appointed, he did not exactly have a proven record and very few Liverpool supporters knew anything about him but look how he turned out. Ambition and wanting always to win were his key assets. A player we had recently who was an inspiration to the team and seemed to have a Shanks mentality was Gary McAllister, perhaps we should give him a chance, he would be better than Roy and command more respect from the players.

John Toshack as manager? That has cracked me right up. For starters, I'm Welsh and know he has done sod all for our national side. Yes Wales are a poor footballing nation but have a lot of young players. Bearing in mind John Henry wants the club to breed young talent and bring them through the ranks. John Toshack is NOT the man to do that. He still played Gareth Bale as left back for Christ's sake despite his form for Spurs throughout this year.

And Graeme Souness? I've heard it all now!

Personally, I'd definitely go for Guus Hiddink. If the board want youth throughout the club then Andre Villas Boas has to be in with a shout. I think we would all agree that Mourinho is one of the best coaches in the world and this guy has worked as his right hand man for the past 7 years so he is bound to have learnt a thing or two from Jose. Only 33, definitely worth a punt. Plays nice, attractive, attacking football. Porto form this season, played 18, won 16, drawn 2. Can't fault that!

Rush? - isn't he at club already?
Sami - good choice imo for coaching role
Barnes - ha. he's a bit round these days and wasnt much of a success at Celtic or Tranmere!

Why is everyone saying we need strikers immediatly? what makes you think roy will play a second striker?

besides nando we've already got

n'gog - he is potential and has/ is scored/ ing goals when given the chance.

pachecho - proved that he deserves a chance but still not getting it

jovanovic - yes he is primarily a striker and has pace but needs a run of games but hasnt yet gotten a game as a striker

so we really need winger. could do with strikers but really need wingers. what do you think ed

True Red

{Editor's Note: One decent striker and one creative midfielder who might fit in on the wing - Honda perhaps.

Sorry Ed don't agree with that. as in we need a proper winger who is not a creative midfield player. someone who only know how to play on the wings. we don't have any with. attacking midfielders when played on the wings tend to cut in a lot and don't cross. we need width.

True Red {ed's note - I agree fully, wingers are what we need, we have no width.}

Hey Ed why this obsession with Sean O' Driscoll. Not related are you? He is 53 and in ten seasons as a manager he has won nothing besides a play off final. He has had two full seasons in the championship and finished 14th and 12th. Hardly the credentials of a Liverpool manager.
My choice would be Andre Villas Boas but if you are looking for English experience Coyle and Di Matteo have far better credentials than O' Driscoll. To say that Coyle wouldn't leave Bolton is ridiculous too. If Liverpool came calling I'm sure he would crawl from Bolton on hands and knees if necessary!

To the Ed the wrote this - are you a LFC supporter?

You've been suggesting this guy for months now, I think NESV would be mad to appoint someone with no European or Prem experience no matter what he's achieved at the dizzy heights of Doncaster and Bournemouth. LFC head coach or manager (however you want to call it) IS WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE right now IMO.

You're right that we need someone to get the players playing and motivate them on a day to day basis, but I know in my job, if my boss had less experience than me, I would immediately have less respect for him than I should regardless of his ability.

Liverpool owners New England Sports Ventures have appointed global headhunters Spencer Stuart to begin a worldwide search for the club's new chief executive.

Previous incumbent Christian Purslow stepped down last month, having played a key role in the sale of the club to the Americans, although he was retained by NESV in an advisory capacity.

The global executive search firm, who were responsible for recruiting Richard Scudamore as chief executive to the Premier League and Ivan Gazidis to a similar role at Arsenal, will begin their task immediately.

Their brief is to find "business leaders with an interest in, and experience of, football" according to a statement from NESV.

Principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner will be responsible for appointing Liverpool's new CEO, which they hope will be early in the new year.

Ed - What do you make of the reports on Johnson wanting out? Interested to hear what you think.
Also, as far as a new Manager is concerned, I reckon it's time we went looking for the next Shankly. we need someone with passion and heaps of it that wants the game played the right way with the emphasis on players believing they are privelaged to wear the shirt and have the same passion as the gaffer. Sean O'Driscoll?
Any thoughts on that Ed?

"When you come to Stoke you know you are in for a battle whoever you are. We did our best to deal with it and their first goal was a bit unfortunate. If we had been less creative Pepe (Reina) would have kicked the ball as far down field as he possibly could, not thrown it to Paul Konchesky and try to build from the back.

"They pressurised Paul well, from the ensuing back pass Pepe couldn't get his kick away and they scored from the long throw which ensued."

Actual quote from Hodgson. Is he taking the p*ss? Would it have been humanly possible to be less creative then we were at Stoke?

I don't understand. Is he purposely making all these mistakes, is it all a big practical joke or is he actually the manager we sacked Rafa for, who thinks it's a good idea to say all these things in press conferences? Who has sent Aquilani and Insua out on loan, and then said we didn't have enough players. Who bought Poulsen and Konchesky (two of the worst players to have played for the club in recent years). Who has alienated Agger, Johnson, Pacheco, and possibly Reina and Torres. Who publicly criticises his players. Who has reduced the team to a negative, long ball team.
Is he actually a Liverpool manager?

As for Nando, he is just one of many unhappy players, it is a sad time for the club right now, but his going to the Spain squad is more to do with them exercising their right to check he is really injured.}

We could still finish top four if we get rid of Roy. With him we have no chance of it happening, ever.
Get Kenny in now until end of the season and then see where we are. I'd rather we finish 5th with Kenny in charge than 5th with Roy in charge.
He cannot be allowed to have the opportunity to somehow stay on for next season as well. Why was he given the job in the first place. I did not want him then.

And please god, can someone sack Sammy Lee now, now, now, right now. He brings nothing to the coaching ability of the club.Sodding Useless apart from looking like a bag of beetroot.

We do not want Rafa back, thanks but he had his chances.

My choice would be Cryuff, But we will not get him ever.
So lets go for Hiddink now or Dalglish til the end of the season then reassess.
Come on Mr henry, listen to the voices of reason, the ones that only have the clubs interest at heart. The fans. Even if you don't buy any players, please change the manager and his coaches. Please.
The win against Chelsea was great, but we know we were likely to loose against Stoke. Dont let your trip for the Chelsea game cloud your thoughts. We don't always play that well and win.

RED FIRST & LAST.

Top 5 managers that would change Liverpool, in my opinion:
1. Guus Hiddink
2. Martin O'Neill
3. Roberto Martinez
4. Pep Guardiola
5. Jose Mourinho

All play an attacking style. Martinez although unexperienced offers a young and ambitious manager, who has done well with limited resources at Wigan. O'Neill is a bit of a wannabe martyr, getting sacked in the name of good football from Villa, in a somewhat bizarre fashion. Mourinho out of our reach at minute, Pep too possibly.
But i hear Hiddink is getting released by Turkey over pay.

What do you lot reckon?
Ed?

Andy, Bootle {ed's note - O'Neill walked out of Villa after Lerner got tired of his long ball tactics, his ridiculous bad buys which were paid big wages to sit on the bench and watch games and his constant demands for more millions to waste on never-has-beens to fill the bench. Oh and his reluctance to give a single youth team player an opportunity - we have all seen how good the kids are at Villa!}

It's time to get rid of Roy. Glenn johnson is fed up because he feels the team is made to play a boring style and who can blame him.

approach half time against Wigan, we were fifth in the league. if we'd beaten wigan and stoke, again, we'd be cleae in fifth. But we got just one point and against soke we were outclassed. Roy went looking for the draw.

Watched the 4-1 win of manure at OT last night. Just two years ago and many of the same players (7/ 8).

The team needs someone that can inspire them.

I posted before about Ottmar Hitzfeld, who I think is the best candidate for the job. Fluent English, 18 major titles. The most successful German coach in History. Twice he was elected "World Coach of the Year". He is one of only three managers to win the European Cup/ UEFA Champions League with two different clubs, along with Ernst Happel and José Mourinho. He is currently the Head Coach of the Swiss national football team, which means there cannot be a huge buyout clause. . .he was the manager whose tactics defeated the spanish during the world cup with a very average swiss team. . . {ed's note - I thought the reason we were looking for change was Hodgson's negative tactics? Hitzfeld uses similar negative tactics, watch his Swiss team in the World Cup, they were so boring it is untrue.}

The Aquilani saga is a sorry one, a very good technical centre mid, who may have been a very good AQUI-SITION (Sorry, had to) but because fans would not give him the time to recover and prove his worth, he does not want to play for the club, and is now causing us to lose funds on him, as well as the fact we do not have another CM to play his role!
Its a shame, he is brilliant technically, and just needed time, he would walk into our CM at the minute!

I agree bring back aqualani. if he doesn't want to come back then we have to get the money back that we paid. any loss's then he comes back to sit out he will end up sick of sitting on bench and get the heart out. i believe he is having a belt er season over there, so how can we a loss on a player who is playing his best football, am i right ed in saying a fee has already been agreed between 2 clubs for a sale after 1 years loan. if so can we can we get him back or is it a done deal. plus doesn't that make the player cheaper to sell 1 year less on contract

{Editor's Note: There was discussion about a fee being agreed for his sale at the end of the loan but it was never confirmed to me. There is no way we will get back what we paid - and I cannot see him coming back. It is a cut and run at the end of thes eason after we have paid off what we still owe on the player.}

Aqualini bring him back!

{Editor's Note: Aquilani has made it abundantly clear that he did not enjoy his time at Liverpool and wanted out. He is having a good season at Juventus which will lead to a sale at the end of this season. We can then clear the money remaining on the player and start looking forward.}

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I bet he was laughing, Those odds would mean that your bookie made Liverpool the most fancied team in the prem to finish in the top 4, and at 1/ 4 they would have been favourites for the title too.

Also the Aaron Lennon to Liverpool rumour seems to be picking up steam. Wasn't he the player along with Bale who slated Liverpool and insisted he hated Us and the City.

N'Zogbia played well again on the weekend, hope we are looking at him. Personally I think his pros outweigh his cons.

And before we waste money on another CB get Ayala back and give him a chance to prove his worth.

maybe he was, i would prefer the thought that he was watching marveaux, im only going by what the report says, which, i know, is hardly what you would call reliable.

Marveaux could be interesting - what sort of transfer figure do you think he would command?

{Editor's Note: He is out of contract in the summer so £2M would secure him now - or a pre-contract for the summer. A good option that was very close to moving to Chelsea.}

"The fans can chant for whoever they want and it will be up to the club to decide what they want to do, "

"There is nothing I can do about it and I can only continue to do the best job I can do under these circumstances.

"I can't get upset every time the fans chant someone's name and furthermore, we have millions of fans."

"Maybe the travelling fans are showing their frustration because we've lost, they are entitled to do that.

"Fans make their frustrations felt every time we lose, but unfortunately they may have to do that a few more times, because I can't see us going through a season winning every game."

"If the club decide they want to give the job to somebody else, then I'll have to accept that, if that day comes.

"We are short of players, as everyone knows and we don't have so many options."

I Heard roy signed a waver, allowing new owners to sack him within 3months and get someone else in. Roy would be paid out for a months salary and sent on his way. He'll get to keep the liverpool shirt + anything other clothin the club made mistake of puttin his name on. 1st Jan his real contract will kick in.

There was a big conspiracy when Rafa left and Roy came in, with the way things were dealt with. It is believed by some that Rafa left under the guise of returning in 2 years time, once the Americans had sold the club and new owners had stabilized Anfield. This was strengthened by the fact that Rafa signed a 2 year contract at Inter, and also by the fact that he did not sell his house on the Wirral.
Once the club has been stablilized, and funds are available, I believe Rafa would be a good manager again, however, i believe it would be a step backwards.
From what i hear, Turkey are releasing Guus Hiddink due to problems with his salary, he would be a better acquisition, Rafa seemed very dissalusioned when he left.

The bit that gives me hope is: "everything depends on results" and the fact that Hodgson said on another day "lets look at the table after 10 games"
Bye bye roy!

By Harry Harris, Football Correspondent
ESPN

October 9, 2010Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton has confirmed to ESPNsoccernet that the future of manager Roy Hodgson following a takeover is catered for in the provisions of his contract.

Prospective owners New England Sports Ventures (NESV), led by John W Henry, plans to sit down with Hodgson once the deal is complete to discuss his vision for Liverpool's future.

The men who own the Boston Red Sox have no immediate plans to instal their own manager but Broughton was brutally honest about the situation Hodgson now faces, and how Hodgson entered into his Liverpool contract with his eyes wide open.

In an exclusive interview with ESPNsoccernet, Broughton revealed: "Roy knew when he signed up from Fulham that we were in the process of finding new owners, it was not a surprise to him. He was fully reconciled with the possibility there would be an ownership chance and the risk involved with that.

"But Roy is self confident and was, when he signed up, confident he was capable of doing the job at Liverpool. With that in mind provisions were made in Roy's contract to relate specifically to any change in ownership."

The 'break clause' in Hodgson's contract was revealed by ESPNsoccernet this week, although even then there were no hints that a change in manager was being planned immediately.

"I " Broughton commented: "I don't have Roy's contract in front of me, so I can't comment on that, but it is something like that in his contract.

"But he came to the club knowing full well the circumstances and the risks attached to it."

Hodgson will have to prove himself to the new owners. Broughton added: "I would full expect Roy to continue as manager and there has been no indication to me to suggest otherwise. However, as we all know, at the end of the day, everything depends on results."

Ed,

Someone had mentioned a few weeks ago that there is a clause in Roy's contract that he can be sacked within thirty days of the takeover without being fully compensated but I don't remember the details. .do you know of anything? because I think its almost thirty days now! doesn't look good. .

{Editor's Note: I doubt whther this is true personally. And the 30 days would have been up yesterday.}

there is some truth in it ed because just after the takeover Martin Broughton said something about this on sky sports news but didn't mention any details. It was not "reported". .he said it in front of the camera!

{Editor's Note: It seems that there may be some sort of clause that may allow the parties to tear up the contract for a year or so's additional salary being paid - but that the exact details are unknown.}

I say try to get steve coppell back into management, he was born in liverpool , and he has been a reds supporter all his life! what more do we need than a man devoted to the club and fans, with thommo as his no2, teamed up with comolli's expertise with players and transfer dealings; you never know, having a manager with a lifelong passion for the club may be the missing link between us being title contenders or not!

People! Pls stop the Dalglish for manager - if he was the man for the job, the board would have given it to him before Roy!

Disagree. Dalglish isn't manager due to politics within the club. I must say though, if Dalglish did get the job imagine the publicity the club would get. The Manchester games would be mouthwatering with the headline ' the king against the sir '. Old lion v old lion etc etc.
Remember Ferguson only started winning after Dalglish left. Makes you wonder were Liverpool would be now if he stayed. Wonder wer united would be if Dalglish stayed. I think Fergie's slightly scared of the prospect

I have been reading the rumours and banter with interest today, not least because the name 'Owen Coyle' has cropped up on a number of occasions. While I respect Mr. Coyle's work at Bolton, I must admit that the possibility of him becoming Liverpool manager disturbs me. My girl-friend is a Bolton fan and has threatened to place me on an eternal nookie ban if Owen Coyle so much as drinks his morning tea out of a Liverpool mug or dons a pair of red pants. Help!

Red Owl, we need a new manager and you need a new girlfriend. Tests your loyalty both ways though doesn't it.

I was skeptical about signing Mario Gomez but he's starting to convince me. As powerful as they come & shoots with either foot. For the right price he could be the strike partner for Torres or a back up or the fresh legs we bring on late in games.

Isn't it funny how's those who wanted Hodgson ( because of one lucky cup run), now claim they never wanted him in the first place.
What a joke!

{Editor's Note: You could do the research yourself, but it sounds about right. I am with you in that we should kick the guy who recomended him right out of the club - Dalglish.}

I think you'll find Purslow brought in Hodgson. Dalglish believed all candidates wernt good enough so put his own name forward. Purslow refused Dalglish's offer. Dalglish believed Hodgson was the best out of the candidates but did not think him good enough! {ed's note - he was winding you up mate!}

A few things. .To the poster who stated he called John Henry 1000 times, that is redundant and not going to work. NESV are smart owners, they will make informed decisions. They do not make decisions lightly. In 2003 a man named Grady Little was the Red Sox manager, he got the Sox to the playoffs where they lost. NESV took their time after the season and got the current Manager, Terry Francona, who won two World Series titles in 4 years. The Sox also spend money wisely on Free Agents. There is a dialogue between GM and Manager, then the team goes out and gets there targets.

Im saying all this because Roy will probably in charge to the end of the season, then NESV will get their man and targets.

Finally just because Im in USA, does not mean I love the club any less than all the rest of you. I would love to come visit Liverpool and got to as many games as I could, it is ridiculously expensive. So I pay for Fox Sports and FSP, by a new shirt whenever its out, and Im going to support the team till I die!

"How about Paul Cook of Sligo Rovers?

Anyone who has seen the Irish League will see that Sligo play great football. ."

== Oh please. When I was 14 I won a few table tennis matches and as an adult did quite well managing an under 11's team . That makes me a winner. On that basis I'd like to throw my hat into the ring as well.

No I haven't seen the Irish league and never heard of Sligo. But then neither has 99% of people on here.

Seriously, what do you think qualifies someone to manage a huge institution like LFC? That they've won a few games in some poxy no-mark league?

To be honest my comment could be applied to whichever Ed promotes Mr O'Driscoll, who apparently manages some team somewhere.

Frenchy. {ed's note - we are not looking for a manager, what we are looking for is a coach. Your arrogance and lack of understanding of the role that is looking to be filled is astounding. The only thing we need is a man who will get the players performing to their best, not someone here to boost their ego.}

I don't claim to know adam hammill, but i do know one of hes mates and just clear up a few things, 1 liverpool do have a buy back clause in hes contract, not for 2.5mill but for exactly what barnsly paid for him 500k.
2 he has not heard any rumors about liverpool wanting him back infact when i told hes mate about this rumors site , he was surprised, the only deffo interest has been from west ham and blackpool were he spent a season with, but hes mate said if liverpool wanted him back he would be there in a shot, genuine information not a blag, frankyscouse
