When he hired Theo Espein, no one had heard of him and he was even younger than the players. But he was a very smart individual. This is probably the direction the new owber will go if the deal is confirmed.

2 names spring to my mind - Joachim Low and Bert van Marjwik (sp).

I like the Joachim Loew idea...good thinking batman...

hmm. As much as it may pain me to see that man in his cardigan each game, Joachin Loew is a good shout

Has Joachin Loew managed any clubs?

I don't know, but I do think he would fit in well with club management. Young, energetic and determined coach, its a good shout. His football philosophy is basically ''attack together, defend together'' helped Germany alot in the world cup

Sounds like a decent option anyways. We need someone like this at the club.

lets be honest, if we get these new owners and they're good, we're going to need a long term manager. Roy is 63.

He need someone young and determind that can stay in the job for 6 - 10 years. (depending on success).

Surely could attract top players. Had Barcelona playing beautiful football. Good in the transfer market too, he got messi!

He is proven to win things at the top level, something which Roy hasnt done.

what are you talking about? messi arrived to barcelona when he was 13 years old. anyway, rijkaard had nothing to do with any of the sales and buys while he stayed in fc barcelona.

I´d settle for that girl spraying the milk around mate.

I dont think anyone would even notice if we got relegated either.

If the deal goes through I wouldnt be totally adverse to Rafa coming back. The playing field would have changed entirely and Rafa made it clear to an Irish newspaper last weekend that he wants to go back to Liverpool.

However, while I dont see Rafa staying that long at Inter (he's on a hiding to nothing, Inter have an old squad and they are probably coming towards the end of their winning cycle, he has to cope with Mourinho's legacy, Moratti is a difficult character if things dont go well) I doubt we'll ever see him back at Liverpool. The new owners will probably give Roy more time and when they do replace Roy, I think they might start afresh with someone who doesnt have any baggage.

Rafa will do well at Inter. Might even win the CL in his first season again?
Anyway Phil Brown is free...

Maybe, maybe not.

He's changed the style and they seem reluctant to spend money. Who knows what may happen but its a going to be a very difficult task following up what Mourinho (and to a lesser extent, Mancini) achieved as that team is old with a lot of miles on the clock.

He's got a two year contract there and I personally dont see him staying there any longer.

ESPNsoccernet can reveal that Roy Hodgson has a specific break clause in his Liverpool contract that allows the club to replace him if there is a change in ownership of the club.

Hodgson signed the contract in the summer knowing that his future would be immediately on the agenda, with or without the 'escape clause' loaded on Liverpool's side.

However, ESPNsoccernet also understands that a pay-off is part of the same clause and Hodgson would expect to be compensated in full.

However, it can also be disclosed that the prospective new owners from the States have so far given no indication whatsoever about the future of Hodgson and the three man delegation from the owners of the Boston Red Sox parent company have yet to meet the manager. So far, though, the earlier indicators are that Hodgson will not be replaced.

The subject of Hodgson's future has not been part of the negotiations between New England Sports Venture (NESV) and chairman Martin Broughton.

A Liverpool spokesman said: "There's a commitment to the manager. They are very happy that this manager is the right person to take the club forward."

The present board appointed Hodgson, so would give him time to prove himself, but the attitude of the new owners so far unknown. However, past experiences show that new owners give the incumbent manager some time to prove himself before contemplating a change. How long that would be would depend on the results in the next few games.

An insider told ESPNsoccernet: "The new owners haven't met the manager yet, they are sure to want to sit down with him, talk to him and see if they can work with him.

"But in all the discussions it has never been raised, the issue of perhaps replacing the manager, it certainly hasn't come up in conversation."

Hodgson has welcomed news of the planned sale of the club.

"It's very positive and of course I'm delighted,'' he said. "It's been going on a long time and I know how hard the board have worked to set things up.

"I know it's not easy for them because the owners have other ideas in terms of the sale of the club and what is achievable.

"But I was delighted to hear the news and have it confirmed that it looks like it is going to go through.''
