Clear route to the first team. Excellent coaching. Clear strategy. Brilliant recruitment.
But we don't. |  |

Kenny Daglish and Kevin Keegan are the two that come to mind from my era.
Daglish is the most relevant comparison, in my opinion. |
When did Dalglish make a successful return after 10 years out? Liverpool finished 8th in his only full season in charge and he was immediately dismissed at the end of the season |  |

and kevin keegan was only out for 3 years between city and toon!
in kenny's defence, he did buy suarez which set a lot of the groundwork for the rodgers success (but also carroll, so swings and roundabouts!) |  |

You’re joking? Dalglish won a cup and put the wheels in motion for their relative success with Rodgers and then Klopp.
It’s also worth looking at some of the signings he made! [Post edited 7 Aug 2020 18:32]

Ah, I misremembered the length of time Keegan was away!
Congratulations, it’s the first point you’ve made in this thread that carries any weight. | | | |

A lot of words in this thread, that I can't be bothered to read.
But I agree with anyone praising Burley and disagree with anyone not. |
Succinct as always, Joe. |  |

They finished 8th - their joint lowest finish since 1962. It was a massive failure
You’re also giving way too much credit for the recruitment - Liverpool’s recruitment is rather famously led by committee (notably Michael Edwards). And as far as groundwork goes I would suggest that the subsequent signings of the likes of Salah, Mane, Wijnaldum, Van Dijk, Robertson, Allison and Fabinho (plus emergence of TAA) is a pretty significant change from what was left!

so, he took a team from 12th to 8th, and he won the cup which is the 4th most important to the fans.
if burley can repeat that fabulous achievement he'd take us to 9th in league one with the leasing.com trophy (i had to look that one up).
i'll pass on that 'success' and fast forward to our brendan rodgers/jurgen klopp (no link to liverpool's glory years there) thanks! | |

I believe their recruitment then it was led by a committee that included Edwards, Comoli and Dalglish, who held a role at the club before his appointment as manager? Academy based, possibly?
Either way, it’s irrelevant to the discussion really and not a hill I’m prepared to die on, I’m not a Liverpool supporter, I just know that Dalglish stopped the rot and won their first trophy in a few years while setting wheels in motion for future success. He was referenced as doing so in a recent Tifo/Athletic podcast I listened to, I think it might actually have been with Norwich’s Webber, who was also a part of their recruitment at one point. (can’t remember for sure, listen to too much content to be 100%)
It’s all a bit of a distraction for the poster (forgotten his name) who was making daft comments about Burley’s suitability for the job at Ipswich Town Football Club. | | | |

Man. Check.
Scottish. Check.
Former footballer. Check.
Experience of football management. Check.
We are in luck. Paul Lambert is a man like George Burley. |  |

Agreed, if Lambert continues to show little signs of putting together a cohesive team and system then what else do we really have to lose? I see little if any negative of bringing a club legend in for at least a remaining portion of next season to at least steady the ship.
Whats football without the fans? Disregarding Covid, his appointment would bring back the vast majority of fans instantly. He could command instant respect of the squad due to what he has achieved here!
I for one find it hard to believe that Evans has not considered this move in the past, and i cannot understand why he hasnt already approached him! Since Mick, even through the slight 'feel good' period under Lambert around the club (off the pitch mainly) during the relegation season, i feel like there has been a divide amongst fans about how the club is run and if Evans made the right choice post MM. This would be a great pr move for ME, how has he not seen this? |  | | |

I actually think Joe Royle did a good job too - and correct me if I’m wrong, had a tighter budget than all of the managers we’ve had here since Burley up to Lambert. |  |

Do you mean that team who had been lazy/unable to make tackles in 2001/02? Moreover we were also 'rewarded' by this attitude.
Chris Marsdens goal for Southampton at Portman Road and its manner was the most appropriate summary of that team. [Post edited 8 Aug 2020 18:59]

He still had a decent squad. Certainly more decent than we've had since, wouldn't you say? Comparing that squad to now is night and day! | |

He rebuilt it at very little outlay and came within a whisker of the Premier League. Better than Mick's squad that got in the play-offs and certainly anything since then. | | | |

We could have Houdini in charge and still not escape this league.
Someone wearing an ITFC shirt has really pissed the gods off. |
It's called poor leadership, poor planning and incompetence. Its not luck or football Gods, our owner just found his level. You get what you deserve in football, we fans may not deserve it but Evans does. |  |
