[Burkina Faso]

Nothing official yet.

Sky Sports news reckons he'll be gone in the next 48 hours.

 

[Twizzle]

was only a matter if time

+1

 

[fish eel]

never mind how much money rafa has pissed away on average transfers.......

 

[HevyDevy]

Well Fishy, we had a tremendous 2008-09 season. Then the owners tightened the screws.

As long as they're in charge there is not a manager in the world that can help Liverpool move back into the top four or higher.

still, you had a decent squad, Rafa spends his transfer money on Aquilana after selling Alonso. What a masterstroke that was :lol:

Oh, and dont forget Glen Johnson for 20 million either.

Thats 40 million that could have been spent much, much better.

 

[HevyDevy]

He didn't want to lose Alonso mate, Alonso wanted to go back to Spain.

 

[fish eel]

yeah, but the point is he then pissed away around 40 million on both Aquilana and Glen Johnson. Both signings poor value for what they delivered, like many of Rafa's signings

 

[Ridders]

Imo part of Alonso wanting to leave was Rafa basically shopping him around in order to raise enough money for Barry the previous season.

 

[skeepe]

Fantastic news. A day of celebration.

 

[HevyDevy]

Hey I'm not excusing Rafa for some bizarre decisions of late. He did a great job for a long time but recently he has lost the plot somewhat.

However, there isn't a manager in the world that can fix it.

 

[Nevcost]

We need someone like Wenger who can spot a diamond in the rough. Maybe Pelligrini with Dalgish as Assistant Manager would be the best choice only because we don't have the money to get a manager who already has a club and he seems to be the best unemployed manager.

 

[Knightmare]

King Kenny would be great, he knows Liverpool inside and out and knows what it's like to manage the club to titles. However, there are still the issues of recruitment and the owners....

 

[Saintsman]

Honestly, who is going to want to come manage at a club that is owned by such f**kwits? We are budgeted like Birmingham City recently. Just because we have a massive history it's hard to finish top 4 with such a pathetic budget.

Yes he spent a fair bit of money but the fact is he's had to sell to buy and so he's felt the need for big name replacements - Aquilani for Alonso, Johnson for Arbeloa and it just hasn't worked out.

 

[lolesi]

Kenny or Hodgson for mine..

Kenny would be a great cheap option.. he knows the club, has the respect of the senior members of the squad and has a fantastic record.

Hodgson has done wonders with a Fulham team that only stayed up 2 years ago on the final day. Has done some fantastic purchasing in the transfer windows by not only getting some great cheap buys but also bringing the best out of players people had discarded.. i.e. Murphy and Davies

No he hasn't. During his time at Liverpool they have had the third biggest net spend of any team. Only Chelsea and City have had more.

As previously stated, he had 40 million to spend on players last year. He did such a good job his team went from second to seventh.


In other news, i hear on the news Sven may be in line to take over, if they can afford him. However due to the fiscal policy of Rafa they may not be able to.

 

[Nevcost]

I've heard rumours that we may be chasing Marcelo Lippi and that King Kenny has put his hat into the ring. I'd be happy with either Lippi, Manuel Pellegrini or Kenny Dalgish. The rest of the contenders would either cost too much money given the fact we had to pay Rafa off (we should of just waited for Inter to sign him so we'd get the compensation) or just isn't good enough ala Mark Hughes

 

[Red Bear]

On liverpoolfc.tv it's been confirmed that Roy Hodgson is our new manager
