Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

Steven Gerrard 40/1

i tried a glib response to that, dmac, but it's actually v tough to separate the bosses. (apart from the fact that roy and dalglish are on some distant lower level and part of a different era really, "the shit years")

assessing evans introduces a whole other set of probs. the years of dour and narrow bogball that followed his exit seem a sort of cul-de-sac from which we can't really escape, even as dalglish supposedly tries to play more open and attacking football.

martinez would do as well as dalglish, i think, but that's sidestepping that dalglish is leaving for a reason.

Nobody currently managing in the pl fits the job.

Rafa back? Oh pls.

Foreign manager? Ramos put me off for lyfe tbh.

It'll be AVB I reckon

i like the way rafa is somehow not a 'foreign manager' unlike say the foreigns who have won the league two out of the last three years

houllier- made ye feel young & beautiful when ye took a holiday to greece, byeee roy!
Rafa- made brilliant love to ye, told beautiful lies, stopped ye seeing your friends and beat you when he drank. When he left he took your jewellery.
Woy- picked you off the pavement, took you home, gave you a bath and a brandy. Probably cooked your dinners, always wondered why you wouldn't let him frot you. Seemed relieved when you were gone when he came home one day.
Dalglish- you ended up with a bitter drunk, nobody surprised. Keep the eyes peeled for the next latino waiter, though!

srsly they should get rafa back

i was using foreign as 'not managed in epl', sorry- hence avb being allowable.

from onimo's list
no, yes, yes,dunno, yes,no,no,no,yes,dunno, no

Rafa still lives in Liverpool doesn't he? Not foreign

yes to rafa back? can't stomach more rafa, i really think now it's time for a clean break and a strong-minded person and no more insular lfc past/present headfuck

Rafa holding out for Chelsea iho

yah i know deems, but i think yr slip says something about the way successful foreigns are treated as sort of naturalized english

like rafa is the bryan robson or graeme souness of the 10s, he will be linked to every managerial vacancy until he is like 78 yrs old because he won the european cup with liverpool

MON

Could it finally be MON?

can't see rafa coming back. Also don't think it'd really work either. But I am a huge Rafa stan and will probably never be as enthusiastic about a LFC manager again as I was about him. Love you Rafa ;)

O'Neill can Fuck Off btw

MO'N's been linked with it since his second season at Celtic iirc.

iiarc he once took someone to court to prove he didn't want to manage Liverpool.

i don't think there are any obviously great upcoming managers who are going to consider liverpool

emery is probably the closest because it's known he wants to manage here at some point, but he can't really speak english

all of the successful foreign managers have spoken at least reasonable english

no odds for guardiola?

ferguson?

Darren Ferguson?

pep's looking for a challenge, not a penance ffs

this thread is 366 posts off being the longest ever on ilx fwiw

Guardiola was further down the list but I've just checked and he's only 14/1

bielsa!

Kenny doing his best to deliver that module at least xps

he's already had success in a rainy maritime city with tradition of separatism and long ball football xp

ferguson re: foreigner who's done well without speaking dece english

Carra only 14/1 with Paddy Power

Bielsa's a decent shout, but I reckon they'll clear the decks and go for a promising young man - avb and martinez seem likely suspects.

Nobody knows anything tbh, bookies' lists are only useful as aides mémoires.

villas boas needs to force the press to get rid of the acronym, buy a proper coat and stop doing that chin massaging gesture while answering questions in a flinty and evasive manner

Nicely done Sammy

"I now hope the Arsenal fans can get on with their lives and forget me, they should celebrate their third-place achievement and I will focus on winning titles."

Actually Sami, not Sammy.

he's a class act, it's true

Yeah, can't imagine Sammy Lee saying that. Hey - how about Sammy Lee?

He's fat he's round..etc

I called his character a cunt on FIFA last night, so I guess I'm not getting on with my life.

is this official btw? links?

(Nasri's, not Sammy Lee's)

Joseph Barton ‏ @Joey7Barton

Think I'll sit by the pool and reflect on not only on how lucky I am but how hard I work and how far that hard work has taken me...

Not official, but LFC refusing to deny it plus Kenny have been 'in a meeting' since before 7am Boston time means the canny Glaswegian's days in the Anfield hotseat may be numbered.

That's only a 2hr meeting tbf

He's taken them thru our season chance by chance.

meh

my respect for the fenway cunts has been diminished by the news that they hold business meeting before 7am and expect a 60 yr old scottish dude to travel across the atlantic and comply with their depraved american customs

pointing out that expanding the goals by a width of a post would have secured a champions league spot

Sky Sources confirm Sam Allardyce is taking legal action against Steve Kean

i'm going to allow this! etc

would pay to watch a US-style dramatisation of this trial.

poor bastards have got their work cut out between lfc and the red sox
xp

bizarre thing is this thread has not confirmed that KD goes

I will have to look elsewhere again and try to find out

agree with Nakchivan -- it's a long way to fly, let him sleep before the meeting, etc etc - seriously.

betting has been suspended on KD going, that's the most concrete evidence so far, at least.

nothing on internet suggests this as yet
