Are you saying we got advice from rafa, pep and guardiola?

Nope not Rafa directly. Rafa hired some of the Barca backroom staff, one of which is being touted as due a big promotion.

Guardiali is giving advise on the next manager.

I see it as significant, others might not. I still see Rafa as very unlikely.

I dont think many here would have said that about Capello, he is a fantastic manager who has won everything.

You'd be very surprised, i work in a bar and id have the usual chatter with the customers and mention Cappelo, i've got lads who have scoffed at the idea of him managing Liverpool. Bizarre. It doesn't surpise me though, there's some amount of clueless bastards who follow Liverpool over here.

Liverpool fans seem to get a kick out of being pandered too.

Being reminded by the players and manager that the fans and the club are amazing.

LFC fans love to sing their managers name, Ged, Rafa, Kenny. We do so in the belief its making us part of some sacred sect. We laugh at our neighbours down the road for making damn all noise in Old Trafford, but despite it being a graveyard they have been successful.

Liverpool fans have a vastly inflated opinion of themselves. The most knowledgable supporters in the world my arse. The older generation yes, the ones who saw the good old days know what a good team is. And they would be the first ones to tell you what went on last season was ****e.

Its the next generation that are hanging onto the coat tails of the good ould days (having not been there) that are most deluded.

Its either one of these things:

1) Standards have slipped so bad that they cannot see how ****e we are
or
2) They are fully aware, and this fan boyism is a way of saving face amongst other supporters.

You can only trade off the past for so long.

Just saw this post now so apologies if it has already been dealt with.
As a member of this so called youger deluded generation I take offence to this post. Also I call bulls*** on it as the way I see it is the reverse. I see the younger generation as being the more realistic fans to be honest. Sure th 'older' fans are quick to moan and say how sh**e we are and how it used to be better during the glory days blah blah blah. It was better. Of course it was. You don't need to have been there to know that winnings titles year after year is better than finighing 8th or 9th. You don't need to have been there to see what a title winning team consists of and to know what we are lacking.

I'll ask you this. As a member of the younger generation how exactly do I become deluded having only witnessed the dross(in comparision to the glory years which I missed) of the last 20 years? Repeatedly watching us fail at almost every hurdle, having known no glory days how exactly do become deluded into thinking we are more than we are?? If anything my opinion on the club is not 'clouded' by delusions of grandeur and a sense of entitlement which alot of pool fans seem to have?

There is some actual honest to god morons in here, chill the **** out about Martinez and Rodgers, one of them may well end up being the candidate that gets the job but they won't be the only ones getting looked.

Everyone has gone and jumped off the cliff now saying Martinez is total **** and lacks ambition, bla bla bla, Martinez is young manager with a very definite opinion on how the game should be played, if he can scale up what he was doing at Wigan there is plenty of room for him to grow in at Liverpool.

Especially LuckyLloyd, you've gone mad as far as I can tell, chill out, Andre Villas Boas was one who seemed a dead cert to succeed last year and didn't quite get there (should of been given more time for sure though). There is no guarantee a Capello or Klopp or Emery or any of the other top managers will out perform the likes of Martinez if he gets the job, infact if you applied your own nonsense reasoning those managers would never of gotten huge jobs with Dortmund (Massive Club) and Valencia (Massive CLub) so really calm down, give the proccess a ****ing minute and when a decision is made either give the new man a chance or just please please **** off.

I won't be going anywhere, thank you. Hodgson got no time from me because what the **** is the point? Out of depth managers will look, well, out of their depth at this club. The scale of the challenge and expectations on hand are truly massive.

Have to laugh at some of our fanbase, before Kenny was sacked and even now. "What do you think of Capello for the job?"...."WHA? are ya fckin mad!! useless cnut" ive encountered this answer a few times in different variations.

We really have some shower of thick **** supporting our team.

Who the **** is saying that? :eek:

Capello would be a brilliant appointment. He wouldn't be phased one bit by the situation, and would dominate the egos in our dressing room...

Really like Martinez but he is another massive gamble. Careers can be broken by a move to Liverpool, although I have to hand it to Hodgson for the way he has come back. I reckon the England job will be the straw that breaks his sanity though.

Does anyone else not think its just going to be another Hodgson appointment. Seems very rushed

If they are serious about holding interviews then there shouldn't be an announcement until the end of the month at the earliest imo. Anything else is half arsed.

The majority of football fans are clueless and it is more noticable with Liverpool or utd fans because there is more of them.

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!

This is going to be the awesome fun part of Martinez / Rogers joining. Utd fans will be falling over themselves to tell us how 'ye have got your best manager in two decades', how 'Liverpool might be feared if Martinez is given time'. And when it isn't working out and it is actually clear that he is miles out of his depth, they'll accuse us of 'hounding him out' and condescendingly worry about 'how much of a shame it is that once great Liverpool have got to this point'.

Can't wait! :rolleyes:

Martinez is Hodgson 2.0 ready to happen.

that kind of sh!t show why pool fans are so disliked, whoever comes in needs to be given full backing regardless who he is, do you lot not realise that kind f talk actually adds to the already pressure he is under.
