Who is going to get 3 years when KK didnt get more than 1?

The next manager that improves our league form.

so does it follow that a 6th place finish, but out both domestic cups early and bloodin the kids in the europa cup would be a success compared to 8th but 2 wembley finals includin a win in one? Sorry, i dont see that. Maybe the next manager that improves our league form into a CL place could be afforded more than Kenny, but anythin else would be hypocritical.

You are not convincing me, in fact youre putting me off
I could easily rip into Rafa and point out his many faults but I have respect for him and appreciate most of what he did. Istanbul will stay with me to my dying day. But as much as he was a miracle worker he was also a fu'ck up merchant.
When he was good he was very, very good. When he was bad he was awful

well you are just being unrealistic, what did you expect him to do?
take over houlliers hoof merchants with no money and then dominate teams like united and arsenal who`d been in the CL for years collecting big money when only 2 teams qualified and then chelsea who were spending money like it was going out of fashion?
before rafa arrived in europe we used to scrape past the auxerre`s and get taken the cleaners by the psg`s
anyone having a go at what rafa did at this club just hasnt got a clue about footy.

Hes your idol. We get it. You wont have a bad word said about him. OK

mramo -please stop being such a condescending t-t -You do  you realise that there was a time whn you had 2 posts to your name? What does that have to do with the discussion?

""Vilas Boas has high potential .."" you say and that is precisely  the problem - Portugal league compared to EPL is a stroll in the park. How many big teams are there in that league? We cannot afford to risk someone with "potential" .

We need a PROVEN winner of MAJOR trophies .AVB will not command the respect of LFC players with his "Porto experience."

I think youre the t-it for making an assumption. Would you have really assumed back then Arsenal would have not commanded the same respect for Arsene Wenger in 1996 having joined from the Japanese league, as Chelsea hadnt for Boas? The problem is we wont get a "proven winner" in this climate. Its also key that the owners have long admired a young manager who can form something of a foundation, miracle and dynasty all rolled in one. AVB potentially fits the bill. Hes 35

Rafa has had his time. He made some major errors in the last 12-24 months of his reign and its unlikely he will be given another chance again. I personally hope someone like Guardiola (if miracles can occur) ever considers an option to join us in a potentially massive project that could pay dividends for its owners. TIme can only tell.

the truth is AVB`s first stint in a big league has ended in faliure, whats worse an average manager inherited the same group of players that looked no hopers under AVB and took them to the european cup final.
getting AVB would be a risk imo, he needs to prove himself in a big league, benitez before he came here won 2 spanish titles and the uefa cup with valencia, he had proven himself in a big league and if he had any sort of backing from H&G he would have beaten united and chelsea like he beat madrid and barca in spain.

not my idol mate, i thought he needed to go when he did because the club was in meltdown with the internal arguments and the manager going was the easiest way to stop it all.
but i also appreciate the incredible job he did, i liked roy evans and i liked the way his teams played footy but we used to get battered by mid table french sides in the uefa cup under him, benitez took us to a level that we hadnt been for 20 years and a level i doubted i`d ever see again.

Mourinho all the way, i've posted all ready on this and the below sums up my thoughts exactly.  Collymore, McDermot, even the most dumbest person in the world can see we need a big name to transform this club.  Its a massive club and we need an even bigger name to get us back to the top.  We cant gamble on past managers and managers from abroad with little experience of the english game, therefore it can only be one man!

He's commented on how much he appreciates the liverpool supporters, i think he'd be perfect.

stop playing championship manager or whatever the game is called mate, thats just not going to happen
for a start he`s not going to leave madrid for a team thats 8th in the league plus he likes to join teams with all the money.
plus he would not go down well with the core support at the game, he`s not a popular figure at anfield because of the things he has said in the past

[Boxscarf]

I want Rafa Benitez.

Lol, are you spying on me! 
We have the lot, history, money, huge club, massive challenge, everything a top manager would want.  As long as it aint martinez, villas or another of these up and coming managers then i will be happy.

[Anfield rapper]

I think we need someone who can get the players we already have to start playing better football. I would try and get Martin O'Neil. Benitez is going to want another 100m to make it his team. I think O'Neil could get alot of value out of the new English element of the team.

is right. Maureen would kill our identity as a club, well whats left of it after today anyway

[JC_81]

I'd rather we didn't have to think about employing a new manager because I don't agree with Kenny's sacking.

But since it's a reality, Brendan Rodgers would be top of my list, with Paul Lambert a close second.

Mourinho?  I'd find that a tough one to swallow.  Martinez?  No, just no.  Benitez?  Love the guy but he had his chance.

his `i`m the special one` type of arrogance wouldnt go down well here mate either, that type of stuff might strike a chord down south but it would go down like a lead balloon in a city like liverpool. he wont be liverpool manager.

Out of the names i have seen linked i would love to see Jose or Pep. i however cannot see either of them changing their minds and coming to LFC. I would be reluctant to have Raffa back and would hate to see Fabio.

This decision is MASSIVE and the owners must send out a statement with a Marquee manager. my top 3 in order are 1) Pep 2) Jose 3) Rijkaard
