Guardian Rumour

[honourablegeorge]

They offer no link, or anythign at all to back this up, but they reckon Marcelo Lippi's name has been mentioned by "sources".

Sounds like groundless speculation. i hope it is. If Rafa was treated the way Jol has been, or anythign like it, then it'd be an extraordinarily sad day for the club.

Lippi Today - I'm unlikely to coach in England because I can't speak English

sh*t! I just became a 'source'.

 

David Moyes to Bayern: you read it here first!

All I did was to come up with a name of someone that could have done the job and that actually was availible, I have never advocated such a move, but if and when I lose my faith in Rafa, Lippi would be a strong candidate, he knows how to get the best out of his players and he usually gets the right balance between defense and attack from his teams, good organisation, hard work but he also finds place for the needed flair players.

is the club's fate in your hands, then?

Lippi lacks width and he'll only take us so far.

yes. although he wouldn't be able to communicate with them due to his speaking neither english nor spanish. let alone scouse.

Didn't stop Trappatoni managing Bayern

Rafa's going nowhere. But I imagine if he did Lippi would be high up on a shortlist along with the likes of Capello and Mourinho.

[John am Rhein]

and Allardyce and Curbishley. Surely we'll need to do the right thing and appoint and English manager?

What is not in that article is Tom Hicks reported by the BBC to have said that Besiktas outplayed Liverpool on Wednesday.

He'd be right, so whats your point? I'm sure all the player and manager are aware too.

[Guest sniffer]

Must know something - he bought LFC!!

JC said much the same thing on R5. He compared it to the poor performances in the first two matches and said they all thought they were very unlucky

[pipnasty]

Football is a universal language anyway

[Frosty Jack]

Not a chance of Lippi coming here. Besides that, the discussion of a new manager at this stage, 4th in the league and unbeaten with a game in hand, is a f***ing joke.

Aye, that's my point. If the new owners are thinging along those lines, then I'd rather they took their new stadium and their massive debt and f***ed off home.
