I was told last night that if a quality manager can't be found/persuaded to come to Liverpool,
then Kenny would step up to the plate.

I'd walk a million miles for one of your goals...................

[lakes10]

also why would harry come here, he has CL football next year...more than what we have.

He's in the qualifiers Lakesy .. not proper .. and no gauarantee he'll get through neither 

just had the radio on, they are Talking about Harry and liverpool and the that old stud man, both dont feel right.

Harry , yes great in the prem but metalhead said untested in CL.
that might not be such a bad thig, we as a club should only rk ongettina team that get win gamest prem first.

right now we have a team set up to win games in the CL, this could mean a lot of players going.

Talkshit also reported the same thing as the bbc did, he would get 30mil for players.

when it comes to  sweedhead....hmm, he thinks he is bigger that any club he is atand would not fit in at the club, we also have a few players that have had run ins with him in the past and i am not just talking about JC.

I'd hate to see Sven here I've never rated him, but Harry and MON are fine.

This Harry thing has to be made up. He is in the CL. Who cares if it's the knockout, it's usually someone easy anyway. Plus they have a good strong squad. Obviously Liverpool has the history and a few good players but even 30mil wouldn't be enough to spend.

sake Rafa could have used that to buy Silva or someone last season where was it then?

100% bollo.cks story.

I agree Bav.

But there is also the "it's now or never" factor that he will be thinking.

Interesting like.

[tubby]

Interesting I agree but I think it's just something these journos have concoted to fill the back pages so they can keep dicussing us. Not even a single quote in this story too. You'd expect something like this to be on goal.com....

Anyway regarding Hiddink. I knew he was never a realistic target anyway but here is some confirmation.

New Turkey boss Guus Hiddink is unlikely to become Liverpool's next manager, according to the Dutchman's agent, Cees van Nieuwenhuizen.

Liverpool are searching for a new boss after Rafael Benitez's exit on Thursday with former boss Kenny Dalglish charged with finding his replacement.

"Guus has shown over the years that he is loyal to agreements that he signed," van Nieuwenhuizen told BBC Sport.

"There is no reason today why he would change such behaviour."

Benitez left Anfield by mutual consent on Thursday after six years in charge, paying the price for a season that saw the club make an early exit from the Champions League and finish seventh in the Premier League.

Dalglish, along with managing director Christian Purslow, has drawn up a shortlist of names to replace the Spaniard.

It is reported that Fulham manager Roy Hodgson and Bayern Munich boss Louis van Gaal are among the front runners, but Hiddink, Aston Villa's Martin O'Neill, former Manchester City chief Mark Hughes, Croatia's Slaven Bilic and Galatasary's Frank Rijkaard have also been touted as potential successors to Benitez.

However, Hiddink has only just joined Turkey as their national coach having left his post as manager or Russia.

And according to his agent, the 63-year-old former Chelsea manager has also turned down an offer to replace Jose Mourinho as manager of European champions Inter Milan.

"Guus just started two weeks ago in Turkey and as much as he likes the Premier League and as much as he respects Liverpool as a legendary club with a great future ahead, a switch would be hardly doable," added van Nieuwenhuizen.

"Two weeks ago for the same reason he refused the position at Inter Milan post Jose Mourinho.

"I know, never say never and especially in football this is true, but for me this is an impossible thought."

Dalglish, who won three league titles as manager of Liverpool, has himself been backed to take over the Anfield reins by several former players including keeper Bruce Grobbelaar and midfielder Jamie Redknapp.

Hughes, 46, would provide Liverpool with an attractive, compensation-free alternative, with the former Wales boss a free agent following his departure from Manchester City in December 2009.

Benitez is reported to have received a multi-million pound severance deal to leave Anfield and with Liverpool £351m in debt the club will be hoping to avoid paying out more money in compensation.

A source close to Hughes declined to comment on speculation linking him to the post, but one man ruling himself in is former England and Manchester City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.

The 62-year-old Swede, who is currently in charge of the Ivory Coast at the World Cup, said: "I have been a Liverpool fan all of my life.

"I never mentioned it when I was in charge of England because I didn't think it was fair. It is every manager's dream to manage Liverpool."

Eriksson has told how he used to watch Liverpool games on television at home in Sweden and how he also visited Anfield when he was learning his way as a coach.

"My father was also a Liverpool supporter and every Saturday we would watch an English match on television. It was the highlight of the week.

606: DEBATE
Hughes is cheap but unlikely and Erikkson as declared himself a lifelong Liverpool fan...

"Liverpool matches were televised quite regularly and we would cheer them on. They have always been my team and nothing has changed."

Former West Ham defender Bilic has two years left on his contract as national boss of Croatia, but has openly talked of his desire to one day manage in England.

The 41-year-old's brother and agent, Domagoj, told BBC Sport: "It is true that one day Slaven would like to manage in the Premier League and there are not many clubs bigger than Liverpool.

"It is always an honour to be linked to a big club but at this moment in time to discuss Slaven joining Liverpool is frivolous.

"An offer has not come - not yet anyway - so we will not discuss it. But if any offer does come we will of course discuss it."

Former Holland and Barcelona manager Rijkaard is another who is believed be on Liverpool's shortlist but his agent, Perry Overmeers, has moved to distance his client from the speculation.

"Rumours linking Frank to Liverpool are just that, rumours," Overmeers told BBC Sport. "Frank is the type of person who likes to fulfil his obligations and he has one year left on his contract with Galatasaray.

"There has been no contact from Liverpool."

And according to reports in Spain, sources close to former Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini suggest the Chilean would be interested in becoming Liverpool's new boss.

I think there might be a strong case that they told him there was only 5mil for him to spend so he would walk, when in truth 30mil had been set aside,
Told in the pm Bav that there was money to spend with the new manager.



but yes it has a made up feel about it but 2 news outlets have now run with it.

[tubby]

Of course they run with it mate. They run with anything, when they are not making it up themselves. Hopefully shrek will break his leg in training and they 'run with that' for a few days.

hell mate....thats going a bit far...i would like us to have some players left in the England team lol

[parchpea]

Its possible Redknapp would be interested in a switch to Liverpool. Champs leagues all good if Spurs qualify but then how long will they last. Its a hell of a gamble to turn down Liverpool for Champs League then find your out after the group which is not unlikely. I keep saying that its still a coveted job here and people will want it and find it hard to turn down and if its true Liverpool are interested in Harry then he will find it hard to refuse.We will just have to wait and see but I trust Dalglish to make a good choice and lets face it hes good mates with Rednapp. Anyways time will tell 

[puroresu]

Harry Redknapp.  No thanks!!

[tubby]

No thanks. Another unproven foreign manager? If we are going to get someone like that maybe we should get someone who has actually won la liga? Oh yeah we had one of those.

Id rather we stick closer to home if it's only going to be a stop gap manager.
