Is anyone hearing anything about Klinsmann? ��

There was a rumour in the summer linking him with a move to the Premier League.

Ah man don't spoil my buzz

Yeah I know.... Basically I reckon I know some of the people Dub was talking about earlier (maybe not) as had heard the 'he's gone' rumour from some people involved in Irish Kop etc which then turned into Klinsmann. Ah probably just rumour ****e..... Hopefully

Just been listening to Barrett on Newstalk there - one of the more reliable sources of all things LFC - and from what he's heard, nothing's imminent so I think you can forget about a dramatic announcement in the morning.
He feels that it'd take a defeat to Villa - not at all implausible - or a couple of successive defeats before that would change.
We limp on.

If we were to even consider going down the Klinsmann route, I'd have Gary Monk every day of the week ahead of him. And I don't want Monk.

As do I. We are a 2nd tier club with notions of gradure. How often does a gem like Suarez come along and at that price.

We need oil money to get back to the glory days. Sad but that is modern football.

juventus, dortmund, atletico madrid have all won national titles and reached the champions league final in recent years..juventus' entire starting midfield in the final cost them less than what joe "welsh xavi" cost liverpool

forbes ranks liverpool more valuable than each of those clubs, just highlighting what a truly awful job rodgers has done on the field last four years. if liverpool had oil money rodgers would probably be paying £60 million each for lallana, lovern and markovic

Worth £60 million for those endless Cruyff turns alone. Money can't buy you love but it can buy you happiness.

That point had nothing to do with Rodgers.

Are you seriously comparing the top team in Italy with Liverpool? When it comes to players we compete with he likes of juve then we have the top 4 domestic teams, teams we cannot compete with .

Sign for Liverpool or the champions of sire a. The above just doesn't stand up

Everyone still think Klopp wouldn't take the job I'd offered?
FSG should hire him ASAP.

Good article here from Tomkins

http://tomkinstimes.com/2015/04/fsg-the-red-sox-and-dealing-with-management/

Conclusions are

To believe that Rodgers’ fate is bound up in league position or specific win/loss results or somehow hangs in the balance of these last six games, is to believe that FSG will act one way in Boston and another way in Liverpool.

To believe that FSG would even consider replacing Rodgers because a perceived “upgrade” has come available is again to believe that FSG will act one way in Boston and another way in Liverpool.

To believe that if Brendan Rodgers dropped dead tomorrow FSG would look to replace him with a “big name” who “has won things” is once more to believe that FSG will act one way in Boston and another way in Liverpool.

To believe that FSG would even consider firing Rogers over the transfer dealings which have transpired is to believe that FSG will act one way in Boston and another way in Liverpool.

To believe that FSG’s “preference” is to have a strong and experienced DOF over Rodgers making football decisions is to believe that FSG will act one way in Boston and another way in Liverpool.

If Rodgers gets himself fired – it will be due to a straining of the working relationship with FSG, not due to on the field results – at least if FSG follows its Boston form. There is nothing I have seen publicly to suggest that that has happened.

But are we closer to Boston or Berlin?

Yeah, I'm not sure about Tomkins points to be honest...first of all baseball and football are very different sports in terms of how you approach management.

As 8-10 said, the General Manager is the most important appointment at the club, and when they were changing things up, the first guy they wanted was Billy Bean - very much a big name for the role. He turned them down to stay with the A's, but they obviously weren't afraid of a proven guy. They also brought in Bobby Valentine as coach at one point, a guy with huge experience.

Interestingly, Red Sox have just appointed a new general manager after my post earlier - announced an hour or so ago

He was the assistant GM and has been with the team's front office for the guts of 10 years

Wha'?

Knex* · 25-09-2015 12:05AM

Be surprised if we saw any movement tomorrow when we have a game this weekend. Lose against Villa though, and I'd say he's done.

If in a dream world he'd want to manage us, I'd be taking Ancelotti. Suppose time will tell.

Black and lesbian too.

Who fits the bill.

Ok, I did research.

Welcome to our new manager, already leaning:

She wouldn't take no ****.

Kenny was a stabiliser and using the Bobby Valentine example and to borrow the analogy perhaps Hodgson was tossed in there like a hand grenade, with the intent of failing and giving them free reign to dismantle.

I'm not sure the parallels can be drawn so clearly, there are bigger incentives like Champs League and TV money from that in play with Liverpool. The revenue they can generate is more based on success. 5 years of no trophies and poor finishes and there wont be too many kids in Asia or New York wearing Liverpool shirts.

Hodgson was already there when FSG took over?

I think Kenny was a more sentimental appointment and I'd say they regret it now.

Sir Gallagher · 25-09-2015 05:57AM

Is there anything to be said for Roddy Collins?

About as much as there is to be said for another mass.

Why would they regret Dalglish's appointment?

He stabilised the mess of the season that Hodgson had us in and in his one full season in charge won FSG their only cup and got to the FA Cup final.

They have re-instated him in his ambassador role. I don't think they have any regrets with Kenny.

Kenny was there to stabilize the ship, he wasn't seen as a long term replacement.

I dont think they have any problems with the King.

His '84 European Cup winner's medal was auctioned off for £165,000 for charity last night. Legend that man.

It seems to have gone unnoticed with all the faux outrage about the manager but Firmino will be out for 3/4 weeks at least, he pulled out of the Brazil squad for their qualifiers in October.
