For you Liverpool guys...

Liverpool interviewed Wigan Athletic’s Roberto Martinez on Sunday and are working their way through a long-list of potential candidates but the possibility of trying to employ Capello is being discussed with increased seriousness.
quote:
hope of persuading him to accept the job on a shorter-term, two-year contract.
quote:
There is real concern that with no chief executive and no sporting director, there is a lack of real leadership at Liverpool, and a strong character such as Capello might steady matters.
quote:
Liverpool have confirmed that Capello is on their list of candidates in what is becoming an increasingly chaotic recruitment process to succeed Kenny Dalglish, who was sacked last week.
quote:
It would appear that Liverpool’s owners, the Fenway Sports Group, are unsure of the type of manager they want to employ given their varied list of targets and the number of potential candidates who are ruling themselves out. The latest of those, to add to Swansea City’s Brendan Rodgers and Borussia Dortmund’s Jurgen Klopp, was Frank de Boer, who has won two successive league titles with Ajax.
quote:
Martinez was granted permission to speak to Liverpool last week with Wigan owner Dave Whelan going public with the request. The 38 year-old met Liverpool officials and then flew to Spain before, yesterday, heading off on a holiday to Barbados. Although the Spaniard is admired by the club, the lack of support for him among the supporters may be key in him not getting the job.

I need one of my fellow LFC supporters to volunteer to religiously text me LFC updates while I'm gone. I'm talking transfer and manager rumors.

Latest rumor is Louis van Gaal to be named Sporting Director with either AVB or Roberto Martinez as manager.

LVG and AVB with 5 years contract as reported by Facebook's New Orleans Liverpool Supporters Group. That's how you know it's true.

just read this article and i'm getting real excited/optimistic about AVB
Strong post ... and suddenly my mind is more at ease if we decide to go the AVB route.

Yeah Sal at Finn's created it a few weeks ago. Pretty good discussion on it. You should join.Posted on 5/23/12 at 12:12 pm to BleedPurpleGold
Sometimes I wish I lived in New Orleans

LVG is one of the hardest people to get along with in Europe from what I've heard/read. Dude rubs people the wrong way everywhere he goes. Great football mind though, hope he does a better job behind the scenes.
AVB will be interesting, just have to hope he is able to learn from his numerous mistakes at Chelsea. To me, its a high risk appointment. I think that might be what Liverpool need now, they've gone the safe route now is the time to think progressively.

I kind of feel like any of the main candidates (including Rafa, AVB, and Martinez) are high risk appointments. Rafa to a lesser extent, but I don't think he's a long term guy. My biggest fear with AVB is whether or not he can handle the pressure. He seems to have folded at Chelsea and made a lot of mistakes with his personnel. On paper it appears as though he would be a perfect fit for what we have now, but is he damaged goods?
Still I think AVB's a safer bet than Martinez. Martinez may be one of the better young minds in the Premiership, but I personally don't think he's ready for this job. Unless he were to get off to a great start I feel he would lose the fans rather quickly, and inevitably the players shortly after.

Completely agree with this. I love him as a person and a manager but he's not ready for Liverpool or a team with champions league expectations.
I think he does need to take a step up to a club with a bit more ambition than Wigan and if he is successfully after a few seasons then he will be ready for a top club.

Trying to follow the managerial search is a dismal routine. In 1 day AVB has gone from "strongly rumored to be the Liverpool manager" to "AVB has not been interviewed", and has been "ruled out in the manager hunt".

I see where you are going with this... Yes, he would be great for AVFC
