Managers for Liverpool to consider

Page 2 of 6

Only he wouldn't because he just failed with Liverpool.
=======================================
And if Poch finishes 6th or 7th or worse, then he fails.
As I said, if Pochettino was to lose his job for whatever reason, and Rodgers isn't already in a job by then, hell be in the running for the Spurs job.

We would look for someone better than Rodgers if Poch fails and is sacked. That's not going to be for a while though.

=============================
You have had many worse manager than Rodgers, and currently one whos proved nothing.
If Poch finishes lower than last season, then hell be vulnerable to Levy wielding the axe, and as a consequence, if he already isn't employed, Rodgers will be in the running for that job.

In 3 and a bit years Rodgers has done nothing of note at Pool despite spending £300m, apart from the season they almost won the league which Suarez has to be most credited for. Nothing to suggest we'd seriously be interested in him, unless he takes up a job somewhere between now and Poch leaving and does brilliantly.

It will depend on how much lower Poch finishes compared to last season, and what we do in other competitions. At the moment we're on course to beat last season in the league through all aspects.

Hammered Spurs regularly though.

I doubt he has gone down much in Levy's estimation considering his sides destroyed Spurs on numerous occasions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But team he managed only finished the season above Spurs only once - The table does not lie.

Levy employed Dim Sherwood.

Let's not pretend he knows anything about football management.

'apart from the season they almost won the league'
=======================================
Not bad for only 3 years in charge.
Think his net spend was around 30 odd million a season also, so Levy may well be interested in those stats if Pochettino fails.

Rodgers would take the Spurs job too, wouldn't turn them down a second time, would he?

If he had a better offer, maybe.

Let's look at what Brendan has done besides almost winning the league which everyone knows is mainly down to Suarez.

Failed to get out of the group in the CL.

Failed to progress past the first round of Europa.

Failed to reach any final.

Biggest defeat ever in the PL away to Stoke.

I wonder if FSG know that this is not the Roberto they should have gone for before employing the fraud

Easy to pick out one result.
Anyway that can easily be countered by thumping Spurs regularly.

He at least got into the champions league, Poch hasn't, and wont.
Lets be honest, hes more than qualified to manage a club like spurs, based on previous incumbents.
Beyond Pochettino and your team having to fail for it to happen, not too sure why your so upset by the prospect of Rodgers managing your club, hes a decent manager, and it simply didnt work out for him at Liverpool.
Many great managers failed initially in their careers, then moved on to be successful.

If Rodgers is a fraud, god knows what that makes martinez.

Well no because that'll go back to giving Suarez credit again. And that goes for them getting back in the CL.

Wumming aside, I do not for one second believe Rodgers would ever get near a short list for a vacant Spurs job. He has failed abjectly in all areas from man management, tactics and media relations that it is hard to imagine him anywhere other than in the Championship. So Chelsea might be a good bet for him...

=======================================
Why ?
4 nil at Anfield, Suarez scored once.
When we snotted you 5 nil at the lane, Suarez again scored once.
Last season 3 nil at the lane, 3-2 Anfield, and Suarez was in Barcelona.

Suarez made that team tick and got the best out of the players around him. Do I really need to be telling a Liverpool fan this?

The 3-0 victory for you last season is about the only time Rodgers has punched above his weight without the help of Suarez.

posted on 5/10/15

Bizarre reasoning.
Suarez didnt defend every ball, didnt win every tackle, didnt assist every goal, and certainly didnt score every goal as I have shown.
You talk like a clueless simpleton in regard to Suarez, and his influence on these games where Spurs were heavily beaten.

Yeah you're right Suarez was kind of average really and had no more influence than anyone else. Something he's proved at all the teams he's played for.

The man who FSG wanted in the first instance, they had to get Rodgers....wasted £300m on a project and have to start again

Don't kid yourself into beating Spurs is some kind of mean feat. Carra summed it up pretty well yesterday.

You need to talk to the jlou guy who keeps bringing it up.

I agree hammering a Spurs team that were shockingly inept at defending wasn't that big a feat.

Shockingly inept going forward as well.

So even less of an achievement when you guys hammered us those times then.
