Hi ed002,

I appreciate Liverpool aren't looking for a manager.

However there is a lot of debate and speculation around Rodgers' future at the moment but one thing that doesn't seem to be discussed too much is whether there is a viable alternative. I think your views are clear that Rodgers isn't the right man so was just wondering who you would want / could be realistic options.

{Ed002's Note - As I have explained before Liverpool missed an opportunity with Jorge Jesus being available over the summer. As I explained over the early summer - Liverpool take advice from third party advisors and I am aware of one name being suggested to MG as an option to BR (and I explained he was never going to be a viable option). I was also aware of the efforts of a "super agent" to try and foist someone else on the club - but by then Rodgers was clearly secure in his job. I am also aware of another name or two that will lurk in the background throughout the this season but there is no point getting in to any detail at this time.}

I appreciate your concern regarding the well being of the club Jamesy,but as Ed'02 eluded to in his posts earlier that FSG are not interested in a mid season switch unless it is necessary.

Unless we are near the relegation zone during Christmas,I can't see a change because FSG have spent a lot of money again this season to play the way BR wants so I guess they'll continue.

Even if we do sack BR,Klopp is not going to become manager as people are dreaming of after what he has said today.

Again I'm not supporting BR,but after hearing out Ed 01 and 02 BR will remain for at least one season.

Cheers

We are not going to bring a new manger mid way through the season even if a calamity occurs.
But I am gutted we never went for Jorge Jesus in the summer. I thought he might not move out from Benfica.
BR ll keep the job till summer if not someone with in the coaching set up will take up if he gets the boots.

If Jorge Jesus was available and we didn't go for him, I'm speechless

Oddly enough there wasnt too many recommending Jesus before Ed002 mentioned him the other day. A few posts, but not many. Who knew?

Ed was right not to do that because it would have caused mayhem on these boards.

Irish - bang on mate. Funny, it was Ronald Koeman last season.

Be Claudio Ranieri next.
