Those Bootroom Boys were knowledgeable smart guys with coaching experience within the club. I highly doubt we are going anywhere apart from down if we hired Fowler.
Evans, Paisley and Moran went straight from their playing days onto the coaching staff, Fagan had very limited experience of non-League management, Bennett again had limited experience of management, some in Scotland and a little under Phil Taylor prior to Shankly's arrival at Liverpool.
It's the way of modern day football though. Can't go for someone who's just retired from their playing days who has Liverpool at heart, gotta go for a big foreign name instead.
I'm not for one minute suggesting that Gerrard, Fowler, Carragher and the current reserve team manager at Partick Thistle are the new bootroom just waiting to happen. But the excuses people are giving to write off those players are a joke.
