Whether or not Mourinho will end up at Liverpool wasn't the issue with that Penguins fella. FWIW I think it's unlikely that he will, it was more the nonsense that he comes out with every single post about the fella buying success. It simply isn't true if you look at the facts.

If you were looking beyond Kenny and at managers currently in England, then I'd take Wenger, O Neill or Mancini, with Roy Hodgson being an outside shout (I think all four would do a better job than Benitez is doing). If you wanted to take a calculated gamble, I think one day that Jamie Carragher will make a good manager. A bit out there but Kenny did it so why not.

If you're looking beyond these shores, then I'd obviously take Mourinho as he's the best manager IMHO in World football today. Beyond him, I don't know enough about the candidates to know who would be a good shout. Pretty much anyone though would have bettered this seasons efforts I should think.

O Neill leave a club where he has owner that backs in no matter what and building a decent team of his own and has already been sounded out for the managers job at Man Utd for the future by Whiskey Nose himself - Never

Mancini leave a club where he can buy any player in the world he wants to come to a club which is skint ? Never

The lure of being Liverpool is no longer as strong as it used to be

Unlike your good self, I think being manager of Liverpool football club still carries some prestige. I think many a manager would jump at the chance, particularly if they can follow in the footsteps of the shambles that has been this this season. There's not too many who would be daunted by the prospect of having to better what we've seen this time around.

That said, I agree Wenger wouldn't come to Liverepool under his current circumstances. Mancini would if City take Mourinho, Hodgson would at the drop of a hat IMHO, and I think O Neill would too.

Not everyone has such a deflated opinion of us as you do mate. Not everyone thinks that this season is as good as we could possibly achieved given the circumstances, some managers may even think they could have done better given the squad and the money we spent in the Summer.

Unbelieveable I know, but there's always an optimist out there somewhere.

Yeah we have sunk quite a ways since Rafa took over, I still think we could get someone to come though ...... maybe if we begged them ?

by **Benny The Noon** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 9:40 pm

And some think more realistically and dont live in dream worlds and realise that over the last 20 years are standing has diminished and has been overtaken by a fair number of other clubs how are prob now more high profile than us and also dont have owners that are skint and unable to fund transfers unless they sell players first as well as owners not even talking to them - a club that drops back financial as each season goes by due to other clubs creating more income on a weekly basis . 20 years ago we were the premier club in the english league and prob in europe - can we say that now ? no we cant . Would you go and work for a company that has owners like ours and is skint with no improvement on the horizon ?!

Why would people leave very good comfy jobs they seem to enjoy greatly to come to a club in total disaray ? Not many would be willing to take the risk unless they were massive Liverpool fans

O Neill - Manc Fan
Hodgson - Best buddies with Alkie

we sunk way before Rafa took us over - at least with Rafa we regained some sort of standing in Europe .

The chances of us getting a top class manager are just pipe dreams .

And can quote me on that as well .

And loets also remember Maureen already turned us down once back in 2004 . The lure of being Liverpool must of been massive for him back then to turn us down for Chelsea's money

by **account deleted by request** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 9:59 pm

Mourinho turned us down because Porto where still in the CL (just beaten the mancs) when we asked mate...... not to go to Chelsea. By the summer we had decided to go with Rafa, I have no idea if Mourinho was ever spoken to again.

by **Benny The Noon** » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:03 pm

Ne was offered the job during the summer - remember the report well - it was after that we went for Rafa . He knew himself he was goign to leave Porto that summer with both Chelsea and Liverpool wanting him . If the lure of Liverpool is as strong as you both suggest why didnt he say yes i will come to you during the summer instead of Chelsea ? Because the lure of the money available at Chelsea was too good to turn down . He even stated that the lure of being able to model a team of his own was what helped him go to Chelsea (ie buy any player he wanted) so that was stronger than lure of managing Liverpool .

Mourinho to Real Former Chelsea boss is tempted for 10m a year

Mourinho to Real Former Chelsea boss is tempted for 10m a year. Jose Mourinho is reportedly seeking a staggering £10million a year after tax before he even thinks about sitting in the Real Madrid hot seat. His take-home pay at Inter Milan is currently about £8m, making him the best-paid coach in the world, but he is apparently looking for another hefty pay rise to tempt him away from the San Siro.

Mourinho, a former Barcelona coach, would fancy the challenge of winning the league title in yet another league, but he is likely to seek a return to England once his Italian adventure comes to an end.

If the 47-year-old can lead Inter to Champions League glory and his second straight Scudetto, he may feel the time is right to seek a new challenge.

Reports in Spain suggest Mourinho is the No 1 target to replace beleaguered Manuel Pellegrini, who was not president Florentino Perez's first choice and has disappointed with an early exit in the Champions League and Spanish Cup.

Pellegrini is considered under serious pressure, despite Madrid sitting top of La Liga, showing just how difficult the job is in Madrid.

Former Chelsea boss Mourinho - who has also been linked with to the top jobs at Manchester City, Liverpool and, eventually, Manchester United - also apparently wants a £1.35m bonus for each trophy he delivers to Madrid.

However, the claims do come from Catalan newspaper Sport, which is not slow at stirring up trouble for the capital's top club.
Figures released by France Football this week put Mourinho's total annual earnings at £11.7m after bonuses and commercial deals.

Behave yourself Benny, O'neil wouldn't come if he was offered the job? what have you based that on? Are you suggesting that Villa will have triple our transfer budget next season or something to that effect. I can't understand so many of you painting this picture of LFC as some sort of busted flush that no half-decent manager would look twice at. It's over-dramatic and it's complete bol.l.ox in my opinion.
