Interpolic Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Paul Fraser @paulfraserecho There's a piece in today's Echo on how Liverpool's owners discussed merits of both ONeill and Pardew. They've not made the shortlist though. Right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think out of respect to King Kenny, and in recognition that only a significant upgrade is desirable I think they should restrict the selection process only to the elite set of managers who managed to mastermind a victory over KKK's team this season. Brendan Rodgers Roberto di Matteo Martin Jol Roy Hodgson Alan Pardew Mark Hughes Roberto Martinez Martin O'Neill Arsene Wenger Alex Ferguson Owen Coyle Roberto Mancini Harry Redknapp Tony Pulis A select list I'm sure you'll agree. Not far off twelve, like. Coincidence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Possible Welshman, but found this prematch report on RAWK supposedly compiled by AVB regarding NUFC in 2005.

GeordieDazzler Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Would Lucien Favre not be in with a shout? Just led Gladbach into the CL, plays attractive attacking football with a team of mostly average players, had a clause in his contract to - although I think that only relates to Munich.

Stifler Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Liverpool: "Brendan we want to talk to you." Brendan: "No go away." Liverpool: "Oh come on." Brendan: "I said piss off."

Dave Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 http://www.swanseacity.net/page/Latest/0,,10354~2776443,00.html Swansea City can confirm that an approach from Liverpool FC to speak to manager Brendan Rodgers was officially received by club chairman Huw Jenkins this morning. The club is pleased to confirm that Brendan has declined the current opportunity to speak to the Anfield club about the vacant position. The Swansea manager is currently working hard to strengthen the squad in readiness for the new Barclays Premier League campaign. The club will make no further comment at this stage. Good on him.

jdckelly Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 fair dues, though part of me thinks its not so much a snub of Liverpool but a snub of being asked to an interview along with 11 other guys, many a manager won't go for that sort of thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an arrogant approach to treat managers already in a job this way (understand it to a certain extent for jobless candidates). Do Liverpool expect all cubs and chairmen to just bend over like Wigan/Whelan have done? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 He's only rejected the interview, he hasn't said he'd reject an offer if one was made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 How else can they do it? Have a preference for a candidate. If in a job ask existing club permission to speak to them, if not given move to next candidate on list. If interview successful hire candidate, if not move onto next candidate. A shortlist of 12 or so candidates and wanting to speak to all 12 (regardless of whether they are in a job or not) before making up your mind on who you'd prefer is not usual practice, is it? I can't see many managers in established jobs wanting to risk their futures at their current club to enter a raffle for the Liverpool job.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 How else can they do it? They shouldn't approach anyone in a job unless he's 100% the man they want. To do it any other way is just hugely disrespectful, to expect a manager to put his current job on the line to talk to them and then reserve the right to say no and leave him in the mire.

LiquidAK Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Must say, I was hoping Pards would have ruled himself out by now... Would seem a bit weird to release a press statement about it when he isn't even being linked that strongly. I imagine if he's asked in a conference about it (though how or when I don't know since he's on holiday) he'd rule it out pretty clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Don't think Brendan that's daft tbf. Didn't he laugh off the Chelsea link after AVB because he understood where he was, in terms of his management development? Think he said something like "it would kill his career before it had begun" type thing. And he'd be dead right. I'm glad about that because I think he's got a great future ahead of him if he manages his moves right. Lolerpool would be a disaster for him.

Ketsbaia Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Rodgers has got his head screwed on, well done mate I love it when managers don't give in to this stuff - he's much better off staying at Swansea and not being tempted by a job which will clearly go wrong for whoever gets it. A 12 man shortlist the board are panicking already! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think if BR can stay at Swansea for another 3 or 4 seasons, establish them at a top half side, playing attractive passing football, he'll have no end of offers from "bigger" clubs down the line. He's got at real eye for a descent player: Vorm, Borini, Sigurdsson etc. Would fit into our current business model very well I think. Although it's: Pards for me like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
