Well Chelsea & Liverpool seem to be in some way connected to each other in terms of how the club operate, the type of players they use & also both kit manufacturers are Adidas.

I don't know if this holds any relevance to the success, or appointment of a manager, but its something Ive kept a mental note of over the years.

Would also be good to hear AVB's throat grinding out words as Japanese-ingly horror croaky as possible

Was laughing my head off last night whilst watching Sky Sports News, they were asking Liverpool fans who they should get as next manager and they were all saying Jose Mourinho or Pepe Guardia. Deluded as ****!!

Liverpool have finished 7th, 6th and 8th since 2009.

It's not that attractive a job on current form at all, especially with plenty of money spent on average players.

Any manager who only wins 4 league games at home in a season is going to be in trouble

And Kenny, who won 6 ;)

I love seeing Liverpool suffer. So many glory boys bum Liverpool and they have so many scummy fans. Hope they drop down further and never become a force again.

Liverpool to open talks with Roberto Martinez about succeeding Kenny Dalglish

Wigan have given Liverpool permission to speak to their manager Roberto Martinez over the vacancy at Anfield.

Speaking to Sky Sports this afternoon, Wigan's chairman Dave Whelan, confirmed Liverpool had been in contact.

"I was with Roberto when they phoned," he said.

"I have always said when a big club comes I will give permission and they don't come any bigger than Liverpool. I gave them permission and he will be talking to Liverpool soon."

The news would appear to show Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group are moving quickly to appoint a successor to Kenny Dalglish, who it was announced had been sacked yesterday.

The Independent reported today that former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has already been sounded out about the possibility of filling the role.

Should Martinez be appointed, it would be a brave move from the Liverpool owners. After dismissing the hugely popular Dalglish, supporters have been demanding clear signals that the American owners know what they are doing.

It was expected a senior, experienced manager would be favoured as Liverpool look to re-establish themselves in the top-four, with former manager Rafael Benitez and former England manager Fabio Capello mooted. Therefore the decision to approach 38-year-old Martinez may not be well received.

Martinez began his managerial career in 2007 with Swansea. Quickly he began to establish a passing style of football that won many plaudits, although it did not win his side promotion from the Championship during his tenure. His successor, Brendan Rodgers, continued what Martinez had started and Swansea have just completed their first season in the Premier League, finishing 11th.

In 2009 he took over at Wigan, where he has been able to retain the Latics' Premier League status despite a lack of funds and some relegation scares along the way.

Last summer, he was approached by Aston Villa to take over from Gerard Houllier. The Spaniard opted to remain at Wigan, feeling he owed the club his loyalty due to owner Whelan having stuck by him in the past.

Wigan looked in danger of relegation this season, but would win seven of their last nine games, including victories over Manchester United, Arsenal, and perhaps most importantly considering today's news, Liverpool.

Whelan has expressed the disappointment he will feel should Martinez depart, but said he would not stand in the manager's way.

"For Wigan he has been a fantastic, superb manager, he'd be a very difficult act to follow but things happen, managers change clubs, you've just got to accept it. I don't know who's interviewing him at Liverpool or Roberto's feelings about Liverpool, I think he's going with an open mind. I'd love to keep Roberto, he's a great manager but unfortunately we may lose him."

Victimpool are going about the appointment of Dalglish's replacement in the wrong way for me.

Publicly announcing you want to interview at least a dozen candidates has already put Brendan Rogers off, and I'm sure it will others.

The yanks are either being poorly advised or are not listening. No one will want to be second best in the eyes of the fans and it's vital any club conducting such a wide ranging interview process does so discreetly, whist not wasting time or frustrating the fans.

Anyone who gets offered this job now will know about the others, and who may have turned it down before them.

The mickey's are fussy enough about their managers, and this has just made it even more complicated.

Good. But it just goes to show you how little our domestic cups mean nowadays. Carling Cup winner, FA Cup runner up. Technically, it's the best season Liverpool have had since 2006 but the league finish is so much more important.

Glad he's gone though.

20m on Henderson

15m on Downing

35m on Carroll.

What a joke.

70m wasted on pure averageness. lol

Champions league is minimum requirement for the new boss next season. Nice the see they're piling the pressure on nice and early.

I have a feeling we'll be having another who's next for Liverpool thread this time next year.

It seems Frank de Boer and Jurgen Kopp have also turned down the chance to be interviewed.

Get some money on Carlo Ancholotti(sp?) :)

Really!!?? He currently manages one of the World's richest clubs and missed out on a league title by 3 points. I thought they were going for a young manager to work alongside a Sporting Director. I couldn't see someone like Carlo working alongside van Gaal.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I simply cannot see why Ancelotti would leave PSG, with all that money and star players, for Liverpool, whose entire budget may be less than the price of one single player he could buy at PSG, and is full pure averageness

I put a fiver on louis Van Gaal after the rumours were flying round on twitter yesterday, i got him at 40/1 down to 6/1 now :fc:

Is that for Sporting Director or Manager? Does it still pay out if he's SD?
