People need to start treating football management like any other management. The owners are asking a broad range of managers what THEY would do IF they had the job, better than arbitrarily picking a manager to be favourite, when later on it turns out their great idea is to bring the great long ball football back to Liverpool.
What if Capello gets interviewed and says, I want a 50mil budget, I think Gerrard and Caragher should go, and I want more wages available, then another manager, AVB says Gerrard will become the focal point of the team, Carroll and Downing should go, he wants to play a high line, attacking football, needs a left winger, left back, thinks Henderson can come good, wants cover for Lucas, and needs 3 more players to cope with Europa league footie.
One manager just asks for bog standard stuff, one manager seems to know Liverpool, knows what they need, knows how to fix the team, knows what the fans want.
It's like a CEO/manager in any other business, research the team, know what is required.
Deciding arbitrarily to appoint "a name" without knowing if they know the players on your team, know what they'd do or have the same ambitions, targets, goals as you is madness.
You get those answers by interviewing managers, simple as that.
Barcelona interviewed Mourinho, and didn't like his attitude and hired someone else, the arbitrarily making some big name your target and getting them at all costs..... well look at Chelsea, you end up with managers who don't share the same idea's as the owners.
If Roman went out and interviewed a dozen managers, would he have gotten someone better 8 years ago who might still be there now?
