PoolFan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 so now FSG want to speak to Rodgers again' date=' Dont really think they know what they want!! the way they are carrying on they risk losing both Rodgers and Martinez unless they have a plan to apoint both of them.Personaly i think the way they are doing things is a bit of a disgrace, of course all will be forgiven if it comes off.. they had months to deside who they wanted and they should of approched 1 man, not invite half the world on a short list. Seems very disrespectfull to other clubs.[/quote'] FSG haven't actually said anything about the process. Dave Whelan is apparently acting as the new PR guy for Liverpool for some reason though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminpeter Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Rampant Xenophobia aside, what exactly have people got against FSG? No statements have been made, all the talk has come from investigative reporting and Dave Whelan. It's not like FSG can keep the fact that Liverpool are on the look-out for a new boss a secret, people are gonna talk and make assumptions. Since Kenny left there's been no talk from LFC, bar the setting of a deadline of a couple of weeks, presumably before the Euros start. So many LFC fans making clowns of themselves, it's really starting to get embarassing now. But then it doesn't really matter what I think, being an OOT of course.

benkeat Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 It really is funny seeing people having a go at FSG for making this so 'public', yet they haven't said a word on any candidates and no-one has the foggiest idea who the new manager will be from day to day. It looks like it's Rodgers now, but yesterday it was Martinez and the day before that it was AVB. They're saying nothing until there's something to say and that's perfect. Liverpool live in a fishbowl and that's what's making it seem all so 'public'. Nothing the club can do about that. This is the first time in all of our lifetimes we've had a managerial search, and twitter. When the search that led to Rafa getting the job took place there was nothing like the internet hysteria now. With Dalglish it was out of the blue, and even with Hodgson there was no level of speculation as everyone knew it would be him. So I don't see what they've done wrong. As a side note, i'd be surprised if Rodgers initial refusal to interview and join a 'job race' didn't impress FSG. Thought at the time it showed a bit of steel and character from him. Overall I think i'd be delighted with him at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeafParrot Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I was settling on Martinez before these rumours that we wanted to talk to Rodgers again came up. Personally I think Martinez seems the more likeable guy of the two, though Rodgers does seem slightly further along in his managerial development.

jep Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I wouldn't be too unhappy with Rodgers.

bell Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Apparently Rogers has done some coaching under Van Gaal in the past (as well as other high profile managers), and also under Mourinho.

Jongi Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 what is more a circus is the way fans have reacted to a process that the club has set. i am interested to know what you think fsg should have done differently dking? i saw just the other day a headline stating that west brom were also doing an interview process. but because it is not the same high profile club as liverpool, there is no mass rush to try and break the latest news whether it be true or not.

I agree that this anti American/FSG stuff is ridiculous and I'm certainly not in that bracket as only time will tell how well they do. I have no feelings about the process, one way or another, as long as they get the right man for the job, but I am bothered about how public everything has got. Maybe FSG could have told people like Whelan to shut up and start showing a bit of respect to Martinez and both clubs? Who knows, maybe they did and he didn't listen, or maybe they felt it wasn't their problem. I just don't know tbh, but I do know it's turned into a media circus and that's not something that is usually associated with our club, though, I think benkeat summed it up quite well with his post (12869 2nd paragraph) and I hadn't really taken that into consideration.

Shonte Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As someone has said above, Swansea play great football and it will be nice to see us do the same under him.

Sinclair would be my favourite of the 3 personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonte Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Also just seen on twitter (so may be rubbish) that Sigurdsson won't sign for Swansea if BR leaves. He will certainly be a player that Rodgers would be interested in bringing to Anfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebirds4life Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Allen's the best out of those 3, Sinclair hasn't been at his best at PL level, Allen's the one you want if Liverpool want Rodgers's playing style, really excited by this . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeafParrot Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't think Sinclair or Dyer are good enough really. Allen's decent, but I don't think he's that much of a step up on Spearing in all honesty. The only Swansea players I'd like are Vorm and Gylfi. Also think Swansea are a pretty boring side. They may play pretty football, but for the most part they do absolutely nothing with it. We don't have the players who could play such a system right now either. Going to need a lot of signings to make it work, or be prepared for a lot of 0-0's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
