Reckon Liverpool should go for Ranieri. He did okay with Chelsea and let's face it the guy would have a score to settle. You can be damn sure he would be trying to better his record at Chelsea.

What's funds like at Liverpool these days? Much to spend or is money tight?

I'm a Hammers fan by the way (Cardiff here we come...). I hope the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle etc can catch up with the top three from this year. I'm sick of the same couple of clubs always at the top of the table, give someone else a chance...

I would have said very tight, but am wondering if they are trying to appease the fans for the last 2 ****e seasons the team has had, as my Kop Season Ticket has only gone up by £35.00 for next season

Aha

Well I don't approve RK, but I guess if the Thai thing comes off then there will be a few pounds in the pot, and it sounds like even to keep the likes of Owen and Gerrard they need a few big names this summer. Plenty of scope for cutting the wage bill tho...

I've got a feeling that Liverpool represents a good challenge for a manager to prove they can take a big club back to the top so there's a couple of big names that might surprise us yet.

Whoever they bring in has a big job on. There are a load of players there on good money who are ****e. Clearing them out won't be easy, but funds should be there after qualifying for the CL.

Be interesting to see who they go for.

It'll be us in this situation this time next year when we put Robson out to grass. And we've got even more ****e to get rid of than Liverpool!!!!

Houlier has been holiding Liverpool back for at least two seasons.


Has to be good for Liverpool & the PL to see the back of him !

Uniched are just worried as they slip further and further behind the pack

According to Rick Parry, the decision was based on the results of the last 2 seasons. Even Roy Evans' last season at LFC, was better.

Quote: This season, in points terms it was worse than Roy Evans' final season before Gerard came in. That puts it into perspective. It's been a worse season since the last time we made a managerial change.

My one fear though is, if Sammy Lee is a 'dark horse' and they make him the new Manager

LIVERPOOL MANAGERIAL ODDS
7/4: Rafael Benitez
3/1: Martin O'Neill
4/1: Alan Curbishley
5/1: Gordon Strachan
6/1: Jose Mourinho
7/1: Steve McClaren

Odds supplied by Ladbrokes
