Blue Armour 4,448 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 A lot of people are fearing a Liverpool like decline, but you have to look at the managers that Liverpool hired since Benitez left to see why they have been in the doldrums for so long... They went for Roy Hodgson of all people, an outdated manager in Kenny Dalglish, and then an experiment in Brendan Rodgers...if they had hired someone like Klopp from the moment Benitez had left, I doubt they would have been in such a state they are in now. In this aspect, I'm glad that we're linked with the likes of Conte and Sampaoli instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't give our new manager control over who stays and who goes, nothing is going to change and they'll be out of a job in 2 seasons.

Hiring the right manager is only part of the problem,...was just saying that hiring the wrong guy would probably set the club back even more.

bellion 170 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Whoever they hire has become less important than what the Board will do to back the new manager. Freedom to buy and sell and a significant transfer kitty to back him up. Without these, Conte or whoever might as well not sign. As I mentioned in another post, the Board might as well offer the job to Sean Dyche since he's doing well with Burnley albeit in the Championship, will have lower wages and won't mind a net spend of 5 million pounds per season. Spend less or none at all is the motto of the club for the past two seasons and for many seasons to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend less or none at all is the motto of the club for the past two seasons and for many seasons to come. Even if we had a net spend of -50million pounds, it still would not be a good enough reason for us to be knocked out of the LC by stoke, Fa cup by everton, Psg in CL round of 16 and 10th. Bloody 10th in PL with 40 points out of 29 games. 39 goals conceded. Sorry, but this squad is one of the most expensive squads in the footballing world having one of the biggest wages on the books, so if someone tells me that "net-spend" is the main problem and that without a massive netspend, no managet should even sign then i have a problem with it. The problem is not the "net spend", the problem is that we have all mercenaries not playing for the badge. Players like hazard, oscar, cesc, diego simply dont give a shit and the rest like mikel, GC, iva simply are not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest wages make it even worse - paying Ivanovic 120,000 pounds per week and Oscar 80-100,000 pounds per week for playing jack shite is another huge wrong from the club. I am wondering if what Mourinho said was correct when he claimed that he over-achieved with this pathetic squad of players. Since the club has a bunch of no-commit passengers alongside inferior players, this strengthens my claim that a big broom should be wielded by Conte to sweep them out and bring in new and better blood i.e. spend BIG BUCKS.
