Liverpool Season 2010/11

[johntheclaret]

Owen Coyle is being tipped to take over. Dalgliesh not interested in the stand in managers role.
Coyle is ambitious and would turn his back on Bolton at a heart beat if offered the Liverpool job

[Bully]

strange that he would JTC seen as bolton are going great now and above liverpool in the table

[johntheclaret]

That doesn't count Bully
Liverpool are still considered one of the biggest clubs in England and any manager outside the top 5 would jump at the chance.

Bolton are financially ******. Made £34m loss last year and are £90m in debt. Don't get great crowds and he will know he has taken them as far as they can go. Bolton will never compete in the CL and are punching above their weight. Liverpool have prestige and potential with the right man at the helm. Coyle would feel he is the right man

i stand corrected then I didnt realise that bolton were in financial trouble as its not on the premier league website (the only place i would read about it) and its not headline news over here for any club being broke in the EPL. Mind you we heard about Portsmouth and their problems but not much

[johntheclaret]

Hodgson gone by mutual consent
Dalgliesh takes over interim role

[Bully]

Kenny Dal was a fantastic player in his days. If this second stint at Liverpool goes soar then i would hate for Kenny Dal to be remembered for the bad things rather then the glory days from him

Wont ever happen mate(Kenny being remembered as anything other than the King .. He'll always put the club first)

yeah but has happened like this before with champion players that manage and get remembered for the wrong reasons rather then the good ones when things go soar. I dont know alot about liverpool and their fans but maybe your right

If we do well under Kenny it's cause he's a legend.
If we do poorly it'll be Roy Hodgsons fault and Kenny will still be a legend.

Surely this is only an interim spell.
I think you would be dreaming to think kenny can lead you back to the top. Well past it.
Once you guys take care of financials and buy a few decent players you will start challenging again. Not all roys fault, benitez left him with an ordinary squad.

Kenny is younger than Roy and Alex so why not ?
Although it is unlikely I agree.
No it's not all Roy's fault but benitez didn't buy Poulsen or Krapchesky either.
Benitez would've left Roy with a better squad if he was able to spend the money raised through the sales of Alonso and Mascherano and not wasted 20 mill on Aquilani.

The Keane deal wasnt his doing either, managers will always get some transfer right and some wrong, I guess the key is to get more of the former and given how tied his hands were, I reckon Rafa got more right than wrong.

Alonso, Mascherano, Garcia, Crouch, Arbeloa, Pennant, Torres, Reina, Sissoko, Kuyt, Insua, Aurelio were all serviceable or better at some stage.

Josemi, Nunez, Voronin, Pellegrino, and the other old Spanish striker who's name I cant remember at the moment.

No doubt Smithy can help out with others Ive missed from those lists (other than Lucas).
