They need to get rid before the January transfer window, so the new manager can come in and make his own signings asap, cos that team just looks poorer every week.
 
I don't think Liverpool will hire Benitez again. They just wouldn't be able to agree terms, Benitez would want total control over transfers and team matters and I'm not sure NESV would accept that considering Benitez's transfer record. He'll probably sign some great players if he has the funds but he will also sign a bunch of quite useless players.
 
Coyle's a good shout, it is. Young, good football, and dosen't break the bank. Pool fans do seem to want him, too. Klinnsman, Hiddink, Deschamps, or my choice Manuel Pellegrini, but he's joined Malaga D:
 
KENNY DALGLISH today spoke out amid the storm clouds gathering over Anfield and urged everyone to pull together to help Liverpool claim "three badly needed points" against Bolton this afternoon.

Reds legend Dalglish spoke out 48 hours after his name spilled from the Kop on Wednesday night during the defeat to Wolves, with thousands of angry supporters urging him to be installed as manager in place of under-fire boss Roy Hodgson.

Dalglish, currently employed as a club ambassador at Anfield, told the Echo: "Let’s just press the pause button and throw all our efforts and energies into one basket.

"Everyone – whether players, supporters, staff or whatever – has to throw everything towards the one aim and that is to get us three badly needed points from the game against Bolton today.

"Because if everyone sticks together we’ll have a better chance of getting those three points.

"Then if we want to have a discussion after that, we can.

"But the three points for the club is more important than any single person and how they feel.

Hodgson, who has now apologised to Liverpool supporters for any offence he unwittingly caused in his post match remarks on Wednesday night, has acknowledged that winning over the fans from the outset had been difficult given the affection they hold for Dalglish – who himself had hoped to be considered for the job himself after Rafa Benitez’s departure back in June.

Liverpool fans have several times this season chanted loudly for the 59-year-old Scot, who spent 14 years in total at Anfield winning six league titles, three European Cups and four League Cups as a player before guiding Liverpool as manager to three league titles, including a double in 1986.

He also won a fourth championship with Blackburn Rovers after re-entering the game following his shock departure from Anfield in 1991.

Dalglish, who was not present at Wednesday night’s game against Wolves, added: "It is about Liverpool Football Club right now – not about any individual person.

"If everybody does their job properly; if everybody sticks together; if the players excite the fans and the fans support the players and everyone is led in one direction, then we should get the result today.

"But without everybody being on the same page, it will make it a bit more difficult."

"So let’s forget the issues today and concentrate on getting those three points."



Probably the most positive team talk the players have had this season.

Would love to see Coyle at Liverpool, as he is a pretty good bloke, and a good manager at that. Although I would also like to see him stay at Bolton because he has them playing some nice football, for the first time in the clubs history ;)

I dont think so mate, we have seen these names such as Hughton and Coyle being bandied about but we saw what happened with Hodgson, fantastic at Fulham but way out of his depth at Liverpool and that is what is going to happen with Coyle and Hughton too probably, I think Daglish will be the best bet or Rijkaard
 
Ian Holloway :wub:

1 Man Utd 19 22 39
2 Man City 20 16 38
3 Arsenal 19 17 36
4 Chelsea 19 18 34
5 Tottenham19 6 33
6 Bolton 20 6 29
7 Sunderland20 -1 27
8 Blackpool 17 -3 25

Half way point in the season, just below the UEFA Cup places and 3 games in hand over Bolton and Sunderland.
Hes a good honest man, and is entertaining and the table doesnt lie! If blackpool win those 3 games in hand their 1 place below chealsea!

Blackpool have won x5 of our away matches, and the one we've won, was very flukey.
 
From what i've heard, and read.
Hodgson has basically been given a vote of no confidence by the board, but is only still in a job, because we haven't found a replacement.

Don't like the idea of Dalglish coming back at all, irrespective of him being a legend at the club, it'd be the wrong choice and a step backwards, I'd love to someone like Vila-Boas (unlikely) or Jurgen Klopp there, 2 fantastic young managers. Coyle sounds alright, but can't see him doing anything.
 
Owen Coyle = Woy mk II. No thank you.
 
Liverpool team to play Bolton

The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Johnson, Aurelio, Agger, Skrtel, Lucas, Meireles, Maxi, Kuyt, Ngog, Torres.
Subs: Jones, Cole, Babel, Kelly, Poulsen, Gerrard, Kyrgiakos.
 
Never been keen on Rijkard since he gobbed in Rudi Voller's face. Even less keen on him given what happened in turkey.

Is Pellegrini still available ? Haven't heard him mentioned as a potential LFC manager lately. Reckon 'The Water Carrier' is the current fave. He'd be OK. Still prefer Pelli or Villas Boas though - or anyone with european competition experience who sets his sides up tp play some actual football.
 
Deschamps is a brilliant manager. Has a really good record around europe and i think hes the right man. He got Monaco to the champions league final and did a nice job at juventus and is doing well with marseille now.
 
I really can't see Klopp leaving Dortmund, he has a fantastic young squad that are improving each season and will more than likely be playing champions league football next year. I t would be a fantastic coup, but very unlikely, he only speaks a little english as well
 
Ian Holloway FTW!

He's shown he's a great manager by getting probably getting one of the worst teams in the prem to 8th. He's seems passionate about what he does, light hearted and his players seems to want to go out and play well for him which shows hes a good motivator. The only question is that will someone like him be able to handle top players because Hogson was great a Fulham?
 
About time. Happy New year Woy.
