Liverpool FC: 5 Options to Replace Kenny Dalglish at Anfield

You are a Liverpool supporter calling out my bias. I did laugh at that. You are nothing but biased when it comes to talk of this, of course! :D I am much more likely to take a neutral view of the situation by default...

Secondly you already said the job is attractive because of the backing of the owners and the security, but you know thats now in question because Kenny was sacked so quickly. Its nonsense. If they will sack 'King Kenny' in less than 18 months they will surely sack anybody else just as fast if not sooner if it doesn't quite go their way. There is no such thing as job security in the Premier League anymore, barring some exceptions for obvious reasons which are not going to be fulfilled at any other club anytime soon. The average tenure is just 2 years, and it would be an awful lot less if it weren't for 2 managers.

A job like City would be attractive for many top class managers regardless of the security, much as it has been for Chelsea the past decade. Sure enough they have gone through managers but usually always got the manager they wanted each time. Haven't they? They have always had the pick.

Liverpool need a world class manager because they are no longer a world class club or team. I already said they need someone who can build for a few years, but there are plenty of world class managers out there who would stay long enough, but just aren't interested in the Liverpool job because it isn't really very attractive. Which is why the shortlists are Martinez and Rodgers, instead of say Capello or Hitzfeld...

The difference isn't job security or anything like that, because top managers are always linked the Chelsea or City or would be to Arsenal and Manchester United. The difference is that the Liverpool post is no longer seen by a lot of world class managers as a top post.

Brendan Rodgers rejected talks with Liverpool. Does that mean he aint the right man for the job then freeduck? Or just that yeaaaaaaaa its not as attractive a job as you think it is? Rodgers turning it down so quick means it aint all that. Desailly says its too soon for him but he has about the same experience as martinez lol

You have yet to give me a reason why any manager would be attracted to Chelsea or City besides money. At those two clubs, budgets are not a concern so naturally managers like Mourinho or Ancelotti would be attracted because as long as they spend money on the next best players, their squad will most likely succeed. Mourinho will always go to back to a club with lots of cash, he is too scared to move to a club that is low on resources. He wants his players, he wants to buy the best players. He won't move to a club like Liverpool because the owners will not tolerate another round of outrageous spending. Mourinho spent so much that when Rafa took over at Inter, Moratti refused to give Rafa any funds simply b/c Mourinho went on a spending spree prior.

Again, the owners and fans want a manager who can spend wisely, understands tactics, and can be there in the long-run. Ancelotti, Hiddink, Mourinho etc do not fit the bill. No one wants LFC to become the next City and invest hundreds of millions on players, so choosing the right manager is important. By the way I really think Capello and Hitzfeld are overrated.

You're only argument for why top managers refuse to come here is because LFC is not a world-class club anymore, which is unfounded and subjective.

LFC can attract any manager they want, just throw a bucketload of money at them and we can become the next City or Chelsea. But that's not what the owners or fans want.

What do you mean yet to give you another reason? Money has been enough of a reason alone for years now. But then of course, managers know they can win trophies and leagues because of the money and craft a team with that money. Massive reasons. Where you been the past decade? Head in the sand?

Meh, you are just talking down world class managers because you can't get one. Now we have seen Klopp AND Rodgers turn down the Liverpool post quickly. Which is exactly what i predicted- you just can't deny that what i have said before this happened is already being fulfilled.

My argument is no argument, its looking like a solid cold fact right now with the quick rejections even from fairly low profile managers..... Liverpool isn't a world class club right now, it isn't subjective. No champions league for years, mid table finish.

Besides it isn't just that Liverpool aren't world class, it is the owners and fans are making the job a poisoned chalice. There is another article here backing up what i said about how unattractive the post is, clearly not just my sole opinion!!

Hodgson wasn't given a chance and fan pressure forced him out really. Liverpool even asked fans on twitter who they want as the next manager....Nobody wants to go either because they know that if the fans take a disliking to them, they'll probably get the boot sooner rather than later. Hodgson is merely case in point.

But then you have the unrealistic expectations of the fans that do that, and probably the owners too. Thinking Liverpool have some god given right to play in the champions league and compete at the top, or that they are just always 'unlucky' with results. This is all i hear from Liverpool fans.

The point is that Liverpool DON'T have that sort of money and are not very attractive anymore.

Its just something else i can post on a football forum that you the fans nor the owners don't want a lot of money thrown at the team. LOL thats a great quote.

Of course you do really, any club would love the money City or Chelsea have had. Anyone that says they wouldn't (even secretly) want to see their team buy up a bunch of superstars is lying through their teeth. Liverpool are no different. But yeah, Kenny blew it all and wasted most of it anyway.
