Rumour has it Rodgers has said he's resigning at the end of the season; which kind of answers the team's poor form.

The Plymouth Herald says that Andrea Stramaccioni is being considered. I am sure they have a hot line to events in B6 so I convinced. I now just need to figure out who he is.

I think he was at Inter a Roma, I remember his name coming up before so I checked who he was, has a decent reputation from what i remember.

Since Liverpool last won the league they've won a Champions League, a UEFA Cup, three FA Cups, four League Cups and two European Super Cups (and zero relegations). We're not shopping in the same market. If we can get Rodgers, we ought to.

Totally agree and thank you for putting it so plainly that only a fool would disagree.

I don't think the logic stacks up.   It provides as much reason for employing Souness, Evans, Dalglish, Houllier or Hodgson as it does for hiring Rodgers.  And most of the others won the trophies mentioned while there, whereas Rodgers didn't.

The logic is that when Liverpool have a bad patch they recruit Jurgen Klopp. When we did we ended up with Tim Sherwood. We don't operate in the same universe.

Using the only big name manager they've signed in over 50 years is probably stretching it as a logic though.

Benitez, Houllier? If you think we're competing on the same level as Liverpool, good luck to you. Let's see where we are after we've played Bristol City.

Houllier was manager of the France U20 side when he joined Liverpool, I forgot Benitez I must admit. And I never said that but claiming they get the cream of managerial talent whenever things go wrong is incorrect as including Benitez they've done it twice in nearly 60 years.

They haven't really tried too often, due to that whole "boot room" mythos. If Klopp left tomorrow, they'd have their pick of a number of the best and most coveted managers on the planet, as would any other moneyed elite team in the Premier League.

As I believe we should be aiming to get there, we should be ambitious in our next appointment. Not suggesting that we should be looking at the sort of manager Liverpool might replace Klopp with, but certainly someone more exciting than Dean sodding Smith.

Houllier was given lots of credit for the France WC win in 1998. They didn't really need to recruit from the outside when they had the Shankly/Paisley/Dalglish production line for much of the timeframe you mention.

I can't believe we're actually arguing about this - are you suggesting that, as a mid-table Championship outfit with two Coca Cola Cups to our name in the last 30 years - that we compete with Liverpool for staff?
