We could be slightly fair to them and realise, that honestly, its the only job you automatically assume is available in the summer at a top 6-8 club. What clubs might have new managers come the summer, Liverpool, West Ham, Stoke possibly, can't see many other options. Now while Liverpool are a bit poo at the moment, could we agree they are the highest profile club probably wanting a new manager come the summer. With Guss mentioning the need to talk it over with his friend Abramovich to check its ok with him, indicates he doesn't think the Chelsea job is opening up.
So honestly, what job do you think he might be thinking about taking should it open up? Do people really think Fergie will either retire or be fired after this season, or Wenger, O'neill, Redknapp(assuming he doesn't end up in jail), Moyes, Hodgeson.
Yes I agree the papers are stating without complete proof he wants the Liverpool job, but exactly which job in the premier league do you all think he's contemplating taking if he was asked?
I can understand it when a player says they'd like to play in England and papers jump on it and link them with any club with £3 to spend, but in this specific situation, its hard to see what other job he's talking about.
ANyway, what Liverpool need is someone that can come in, sell Gerrard and Torres, get the majority of that money to spend on a bunch of cheap players and come up with some sub 10million gems. They need someone to be getting a Vermaelen, RVP, Rosicky, Ramsey, Cesc priced players in who can actually play, rather than someone to come in and sell a couple big players and buy a couple of 20million players, even if great, won't help the squad enough.
Hmm, Hodgeson, sell almost the entire current squad and bring in a ridiculous amount of new players, and turn the club around completely, basically thats what they need. A club in big debt who will unlikely fund much in the way of new players but might, as so often happens, let a new manager have a decent kitty, especially if they got a huge sum for selling Gerrard and Torres. those 2 players, especially when so injury prone, are simply not enough to keep the club competitive, 8 10mil players will do more for Liverpool than 2 40mil players can do.
