2010/2011 Manager rumours thread

[Besnik]

Not bad at all. Don't think napoli will let him go though.

In case guys are wondering how I chose the names for the poll. Those were the names we have been linked to quite often if mou goes.

Personally I want mou to stay but I get the feeling he will go.

Same here. I wouldn't want Mou to leave, but also I have the feeling that he will go..

Capello is the best name out there of course but it'd be making a deal with the devil. He has coached 3 of the teams I hated most in football, plus 1 that I disdain (Real Madrid).

Laurent Blanc is unproven and just choked badly in the league this season.

Prandelli is one of the most over-rated coach of all time if you ask me. If only he's not Italian, not a gentleman and not coaching a club as classy as Fiorentina, his name wouldn't be mentioned in this thread.

Mihajlovic would be a nightmare, seeing as he has only shown some promise in these past 4-5 months as a Catania manager. He was very bad in his Bologna tenure.

Rafael Benitez is...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?!?!? Least favorite choice. Would probably spend a 100 m Euros budget on 20 mediocre Spanish players and then complain not having enough budget after that.

So the choice for me, even though it may be unrealistic, is Guus Hiddink.

Needless to say: MOURINHO FOR LIFE

I would also love Hiddink to coach us, but he signed for Turkey and I highly doubt he will coach a club team like he did with Chelsea.

My personal preference would be Capello, although we all know his past, noone other than him is closer to Mourinho in terms of quality. Plus, we should consider things professionally.

 

[Kraits]

voted for others coz dont really like them all. Hiddink might be nice..

one coach that would bring in result like Mou would be Capello, but dont like the fact taht he is former gobbi, but if he come in professionally i would take Capello... anyway dont like the idea of Mou leaving,............Mou for 10 years please!!!!!!!!

 

[Antonio2810]

if mou goes i would like to see Hiddink as our manager...Capello is my 2nd choice

 

[spiderninja]

the only coach with the same level with Mourinho is only Capello and Ferguson. Considering that Ferguson will be impossibe to get, then the only choice is only Capello.
Other than Capello will be considered a downgrade for the team

What's wrong with Rafa?

2 La Liga titles
1 UEFA Cup
2 Champions League finals, one of them he won.

I think that's a respectable record, no?

Those la liga titles were ages ago. Its like claiming Zac is good since he once won serie a ages ago.

His record in the epl with lfc is poor at best and his record in the transfer market is horrific.

 

[blackmore]

rafa just did the near impossible by destroying one of the greatest clubs in european football. i dont know about anyone else but i would be shitting my pants if he came here. all he is doing is living on past glories, and the style in which he runs things would not be best suited to us.

Luis Garcia
Xabi Alonso
Fernando Torres
Beyaoun
Acquilani

I wouldn't particularly call those players "horrific". Besides, he came very close to winning the title in 2009.

I forgot to mention he won the FA Cup.

Look, I don't think he's a fantastic choice, but who are the realistic alternatives if Mourinho leaves?

rafa just did the near impossible by destroying one of the greatest clubs in european football.

Liverpool has been failing itself!

Dude! I don't want to through each and every player, but half of these players were Liverpool youth players that were promoted to the first team. Some were just sold.

At least get the right information.

Please dont even bother...many people here just tell lies.

Mourinho keeps avoiding his statement that he will stay. It's just yet another indication that he's assessing his options and the result will depend on the outcome of the season.

so ;ast weekend, when he was asked "is there a chance you wil stay?" and he said "of course yes" you shut ur ears? or u just didnt want to believe him because it will destroy your pessimissm?

dude the media have been doing this to us for years. its a favourite past time of theirs and everyone knows that, its not something new. most here have become accostumed to that. i think the most important thing is that until we actually here something concrete we should not jump to conclusions.

im pretty sure that even if a decision has been made or is in the midst of being made that it wont be announced till after the seasons end.

Whar is new is that now, Interistis on this website are in support of the newspapers and are againt Mourinho and the club.

 

[Suneet]

Van Gaal

 

[Black&Blue]

I think that Mourinho remains,and in case of divorce I think that Moratti wants Benitez and personally I've always liked the spanish,don't take seriously this late Liverpool season,he's a top manager.

 

[Suneet]

He never won the league.

 

[Black&Blue]

He never won the league.

But achieved very good european results with one Champions League (2 finals),one Uefa Cup with Valencia....
Liverpool was not on the same level of United and Chelsea to compete in Premier League.

His teams have never been consistent. We have had enough of inconsistency over the past years.

That's because he wasted his transfer funds...

What's wrong with Rafa?

He is not Jose Mourinho.
