OneDavidCooper 2,505 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 9 hours ago, TMB said: You're failing to acknowledge that some individuals represent more of a gamble than others. Appointing someone who has one year of managing a under 18 team represents a huge gamble. And others are failing to acknowledge that some major gambles pay off handsomely. I've been in the position of having to stick your neck out and appoint someone just on the basis of a hunch that they are the right man. You get major criticism and then when it comes off no great credit either. It's a no win situation but sometimes you have to back your hunches. I don't know whether SG will hack it as a manager or not. But I do believe that the mere fact he is willing to take us on at a time when we are at rock bottom and Liverpool FC are on the brink of enormous success says a lot about his ambition, drive and confidence in his own abilities. Frankly, I can think of no established manager that would come here and who would satisfy the supporters. Best, therefore, to go for someone who (a) wants the job (b) has fresh ideas and no pre conceived ideas or prejudices and (c) can attract backroom staff and players of the calibre we need. Im not ecstatic about this appointment and I admit to some vague misgivings but, despite my inherent dislike of scousers, I admit too I'm excited. I refuse to carry on being bitter and twisted about our current fate and I'm taking the optimistic route. Im backing him 100% but HE WILL NEED TIME AND PATIENCE. There will be set backs, poor results, more defeats to celtic, etc, and we must avoid turning against him before he's had a chance to turn this club around and put his ideas into practice. It might take 3 years but I think this is an appointment well worth backing and getting excited in. PS He is finished as a player as his stint in the MLS proved.

Feel free to at me in a decade if he goes on to manage Liverpool to a European Cup if you want. Any sort of of success here he'll succeed Klopp imo.

This appointment should spell the end for at least 10 of them. Windass’ days of shying away from tackles and walking about the park should be over Hopefully his appointment has been going on in the background for a while and he has seen how we play against the taigs and he knows there has got to be a clear out whether they play and up there game last three games or not. Maybe just maybe he has been watching and knows what is realistically needed, yes I mention the taigs because to win this league at the moment we need to be a hundred percent above they cunts.

I hope he’s been watching their attempts at playing football over the last month or so. From the 18 squad I’d keep 4- 5 at an absolute push. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted no in the poll in the managers section but I have been caught up in the euphoria. This is the best news we have had in years and we deserve to get lost in the moment. I really hope this works out and Gerrard has always been a Model Professional and he will demand the same of his players. Welcome to Rangers Stevie G, Bring us 55 and become a legend.

Yeah true, just the last two games against them have been horrific to watch, we are also struggling against the others as well and as you say a big clear out is needed, would he give some of the youth a chance as well as mixing in some good new signings, I hope so. Think his first game was as a young lad was it not, and I know a lot of people maybe panic at the thought of the youths coming through, and the reason being we want to win the league, in fact wanting to win the league isn't an option, needing to win the league I would say now.
