Take a look at our squad and it's quite average, but we have a top 5/6 wage bill, so the decision to get rid of some big earners will obviously be the first choice. But, it isn't the manager that will be ripping things apart, it will be Comolli as he's the one who will be dictating the direction of the club, the manager will be the one that makes sure that direction is being fulfilled by coaching the players and getting results with the players he has.
Yeah but a manager has a vision for his side. Theres no use Kenny/Comolli starting the overhaul now only for prospective candidates to disagree with the moves they have made. I can see this stop gap appointment being very costly for Liverpool. They badly need a run of form to get out of the dogfight they are slipping into. Best thing they could do is go get their guy now and begin the process. Otherwise the current pairing could start things only for the new guy to disagree and effectively spend a transfer window tidying up.

As far as I can see it, the new manager will not be a manager in the traditional sense....Basically, Comolli will structure the playing staff as he sees fit, probably have the final say on signings and then the manager, whoever that turns out to be, will do with the situation what he can.
Any prospective manager will surely be made aware of this during their application, which would make any disagreements they were to have in the future, pretty naive and futile?
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....

Possibly. I'd guess that would take most top managers out of the running for the job then? Be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I actually thought that Johnson was ok today.....Maybe taking him out of his comfort zone at right back has forced him to concentrate 100% on his game??.....

Rovers seem to be trying to get as far away from BFS style of football as they can,they're still after Rochina from Barca and now they're linked with Victor Vasquez from them aswell.

On form, Johnson is a great player, Mark, he just hasn't found that form here with us. At Pompey, he'd have walked into any side in England other than maybe Arsenal.
Meireles is a good player, not used properly but I think he'd be an excellent 'role player' at any of the big clubs. Rodriguez, again, is decent on form, certainly as good as the likes of Benayoun and Park. I'm not saying they'd be stars, but they could certainly offer something to the big clubs.

Squad players fair enough. Never get near a regular starting place.
