I think the fact that we're interviewing as many people as possible is equally dramatic. It suggests we don't have a clue what we're looking for; playing the field, so to speak. Much like our transfer activity last summer, some might say. "Get some guys who create chances, and a left back." Well we did that, but it didn't exactly work out in the first 12 months. Now we're like, "Get a manager". Will some random bloke be any better than Dalglish?

There are only 4 serious candidates for this job, quite frankly, as most rule themselves out due to present commitments or a lack of desire to stoop to taking on the Liverpool job. Those 4 are Klopp (unlikely), Benitez (some fans will have a field day, as will the press), AVB (young, adventurous, puts out unplayable teams in Portugal, EPL experience with a top club), and Capello (highly experienced and successful as a club manager, but may take time to adjust, oh, and the English hate him). If we're looking outside these 4 but at experienced winners ala Hiddink, Deschamps et al then ok, but if we're serious about Championship managers INSTEAD of any of these people then I wonder about our owners' sanity.

pep told us no already, i would say martinez first asked, first in. plus a favourite is usually a fav cause some board director mentioned it to some journo or another.
