by the thought of Brendan Rodgers?
I wonder if I am in a minority of 1 |  |

Don’t let the small amount of stuff that’s out there about him detract from the fact he’s a good coach. Think he will be exactly what we will need to stay up. |  | | |

I'd be happy with Rodgers. Experienced and knows the Prem well. |  |

No I feel the same but then again I’m not particularly enamoured with any of the claimed leading contenders. I always wanted Rosenior should KM ever leave but I wonder now how damaged the Chelsea experience has left him not to mention some of the odd stuff he came out with the “respecting the ball” nonsense in particular. Plus he’s said to want a break anyway.
Who do I want? Absolutely no bloody idea! | | | |

It won't be him, as coming back so soon would cause him tax issues | | | |

Doesnt fill me with joy, but do I think he would give us as good a chance of anyone of keeping us up? Probably |  |

Nope, I’m with you on this. Always came across as a greetin’ faced welt when at Celtic. | | | |

I think his time has gone and he'd be better off taking easy money in Saudi. | | | |

This might be really harsh but I remember watching a Liverpool pre-season documentary and he came across as not a great person/ a bit power crazy.
I also recently read Ian Graham's book, Liverpool's director of research for over a decade and he did not come across well. He continually fought against the senior leadership team on recruitment and was only really interested in signing players who had played under him at Swansea, hence the unsuccessful signings of Joe Allen and Fabio Borini in his time there.
I think he's probably a different person to the man Ashton hired in 2009. [Post edited 16 Jun 11:46]

He is a good enough coach, but I can see his personality clashing with Ashton pretty quickly. Doesn't feel like a long-term appointment, but if he kept us in the league for a year or two, maybe that is enough? | | | |

He's Marmite for sure, but it would be a real statement to get him, a winner who started his managerial career with Ashton and was a mentor to Kieran. My Lesta mates hate him, but that is partly caused by the King Power craziness.
I think he would be a great hire...but don't think we will get him, mainly Tax implications from his Saudi deal. |  | | |

That's the point right now, you take on someone who can keep us in the league once or you employ a long term project and if they stay up it is a kind of bonus.
As it stands appointing a manager is one thing but the more glaring issue is building the new team, when you go through the retained list you realise we are miles off and it would take a monumental effort to get a team that could win games at PL standards. [Post edited 16 Jun 11:57]

I'm going to write down my thoughts on the potential appointment of Rodgers, & then put it in an envelope. I will only reveal what I have to say, upon completion of his first season as our manager, should he get the job.

I felt the same about Joe Royle and was totally wrong.
He is an experienced coach who understands what is required. He has worked with our CEO before and has had more success than not in his career. He might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but would be a strong appointment under the circumstances…..once you see past the teeth and the baggage. |  | | |

If you based your opinion on football alone we would all be pretty happy with his appointment. | | | |

We all, including me, thought that about Morsy though.
Maybe for some, optimizing your life for tax isn’t as important as we think.
This might be his last chance for a PL job also, which might be quite alluring vs playing in front of one man and his dog in a desert.
Conceivably he could come and if it goes tits up go back out to KSA potentially.

Not exactly exciting but we need to stay up somehow.
That could mean some 'pragmatic' tactics.
See Cape Verde v Spain for inspiration. |  | | |

agreed....he maybe just what we need right now to stay up/consolidate. | | | |

It’s essential we bring in an experienced manager.
I know everyone is sentimental about KM and look at taking an unknown and rightly celebrating his time at the club. But we were a league one side back then. Although not what people want to hear, but even KM struggled at PL level.
We need experience this time round. | | | |

True - although I think Morsy had other motivations to go there outside of just tax | | | |

He's a good coach but not good manager. It was his undoing Liverpool and partly an issue at Leicester. If he's happy with someone else buying players, could be a good move. If not, then I think Tom Ince is probably an odd signing. [Post edited 16 Jun 12:49]

Hes a bit like Ashton for me. He gets on my nerves, and comes across a bit full of himself and smarmy, BUT I think hes good at what he does.
He's an old mate of Ashtons, and we know Ashton likes to appoint his mates. |  |

But Ashton knows him very well already, and they seem very similar characters.
They have worked together before. | |

No - he's left a wake of destruction at other clubs and always seems to jump just before the sh*t hits the fan. Would be disastrous after all that Kieran's built. [Post edited 16 Jun 13:02]

Rodgers would be an exceptionally good pick for us, I’m surprised he’s within our grasp tbh- out of the three favourites currently listed he’s far and away my personal favourite. Would be very happy with his appointment! |  | | |

Would rather have the late Ted Rogers, whose odds are now "three to one" |  |
