Would you be interested in a manager who has won his side's Premier League this season; is one of the most passionate men about and could bring one of the top scorers in Europe with him?
Speaks English, would get the players fired up and might deserve a stab at a "bigger" club that has links with his own?
Would you?
Eh?

Has to be Rafa, surely? 
What is it they say about "never go back" ?LFC just did that with KD & that went well then! Might be there are some fond memories of RAFA & Istanbul etc - but honestly, he's a bit of a mentalist & he screwed up so badly at Inter. I will be astonished if FSG are (frankly) stupid enough to employ him.

Hiddink is currently getting megabucks in Russia, so that definitely isn't happening!
I do think we have a chance with signing a top class manager. Clearly FSG are trying to set something up for a long term (at least that's what they've done with the Red Sox), and we are a "big club" still, despite being mid-table. If one of those top managers wants to build a legacy with a club that has a worldwide fan base, and does have the money to sign the better (read: not quite world class) players, then they could do worse than to sign for LFC.
I think FSG will go with Martinez, either appoint Segura or that Barca bloke as DoF, and potentially Dein as Chief.

For once I agree with Stan Collymore...
@StanCollymore: If FSG are serious
Guardiola
Capello
Hiddink
Should be the calibre they are looking for.Martinez/Rodgers/Lambert
Absoulutely not for #lfc
Stan has a point. FSG have gone down in my estimation with this move, and have demonstrated they want instant success. This philosophy points to them trying to get an established manager rather than a 'prospect'.@StanCollymore: If FSG are serious
Guardiola
Capello

I like what Collymore's saying, BUT why would any world class manager want to join LFC right now??
.
Maybe my LFC-tinted spectacles but I hope the combination of our ability to offer a big salary, a decent transfer budget, the bones of a good squad and a seriously low bar will appeal to some..
Would love hiddink or Maureen but can't see either happening. Maureen needs the funds and promise to be number 1, not number 3 or 4 which would be a dream result for next season.

Maureen's not going to Anfield. He's got unfinished business in Spain for a start.Would love hiddink or Maureen but can't see either happening. Maureen needs the funds and promise to be number 1, not number 3 or 4 which would be a dream result for next season.

He's got a 69% win ratio to protect, which I think he'd be nervous of maintaining at Liverpool. I saw an amazing stat about him this evening- he went 150 home league games between 2002 and 2011 without losing. He's the most proven top level manager out there by a country mile.Looking forward to him at Utd.

Maureen, to Liverpool?? LOL!!!People understand this: LFC can not attract a renowned, world class manager at this stage. Excluding Rafa, I can't think of one top manager who'd want to be in charge of us right now.

Actually I think you are quite an attractive prospect AVB and Capello are out of work I'm sure there are others, you have the bones of a good team and could easily improve with some smart investment, regardless of the rights or wrongs of the whole Suarez affair it must have been a nightmare for the club and you had a striker suffering under the weight of an inflated price tagA lot of managers would do well to have a worse season and if Carroll has a good Euros, Suarez refrains from getting toothy with anyone things could look a lot rosier next season
Get it right and they can become an Anfield hero
My moneys on Martinez though
I don't think these Americans understand the rivalry's in English football, I hear they've been asking the England coach if he would consider club football after the euros(Gary Neville not Roy hodgson)
Other available managers are:
Mark Hughes
Steve Bruce
Roy Keane
Paul ince
Steve Coppell
Lou macari
And Darren Ferguson
