Pearson is absolutely hat-stand. No thanks.Moyes would make more sense. At Man United he was bound to fail, following who he did. Rodgers would be a better option, if given the brief to create a set up like the one he worked with at Swansea.Although to differing degrees, none of those really grab me. I'd rather we tried something a bit more different and went for someone like Prandelli.
It might be that my memory is failing, but didn't Moyes turn us down pre Lambert or maybe even pre McLeish? It may have been paper talk at the time, but if it's true then I can't see what has changed at the club in the meantime to make him change his mind about coming here.

Remember he left Watford to join Reading and then relegated them. He was lucky at the redscouse having Suarez and Sturridge firing + Gerard still influential. Something that's brought up a lot with Rodgers over the last few pages is that his tenure is made to look better by having Suarez. Which isn't something that happened completely in isolation - Kenny Dalglish had 18 months of Suarez, in the one full season they had together Liverpool finished eighth and Suarez scored 11 goals.If it were just Suarez being great and the manager had nothing to do with it, there's no reason that he wouldn't have been doing it the previous season under Dalglish as well.Player taking a season to settle in the English game, maybe? /devils_advocate

It is funny how your opinion can change rapidly with managers.
Now I look at him and wonder if he could possibly organise a defence and his new teeth bother me more than they should.

I think we are too fragile at the moment to take that sort of gamble.
