      Manager ranking 1-5
      Oct 08, 2015 01:13:30 am
      Gerard Houllier
      Rafa Benitez
      Roy Hodgson
      Kenny Dalglish
      Brendan Rodgers

      With the new Manager announcement imminent, just wondered how would you rank these 5 in order of who you liked or preferred

      My list

      1. KD
      2. Rafa
      3.Houllier
      4.Rodgers
      5.Hodgson

      I'm sorry but this is a complete piss take if nobody puts Rafa at the top.

      1 - KD




      2 - GH & RB =

      3 - BR
      4 - RH

      I liked Houllier and Rafa about the same but I never lost faith in Houllier in quite the same way I did with Rafa.

      Pretty pointless exercise really as no one is going to have Roy or Brendan in their top 3 surely?

      Assuming you're talking about Kenny's second spell then it would be:

      1. Rafa
      2. GH
      3. Rodgers
      4: Dalglish
































      5. Hodgson

      Even though Kenny got us to two cup finals, winning one? I don't think so. 2nd is the first loser. Nothing more.

      Based on success then it has to be:

      1) Benitez
      2) Houllier
      3) King Kenny
      4= Hodgson and Brendan

      The King is always no.1

      But if you rank them in terms of EPL history. i.e. from early 90's. Since the last league title.

      Id probably go...

      1) RB
      2) GH
      3) KKD
      4) RE
      5) GS
      6) BR
      7) RH

      If you don't like the thread, just don't comment? Miserable arses.

      1. Rafa - Two European cup finals, winning one. Istanbul was the best night of my life as a LFC supporter. It was the best Liverpool game I've ever seen too. Possibly the best ever football match. There were several other great European nights too and the FA cup win was brilliant as well.

      2. Houllier. First time as a Liverpool fan I witnessed us being competitive and winning things. Again, some of those days in Cardiff are up there as my best experiences as a Liverpool fan.

      3. Brendan. Will always be grateful for that second season we had under him. Despite the above, I've never seen a Liverpool side play as well as we did during that season. I was on the edge of my seat the whole season and truly believed I would finally witness Liverpool winning the league. The football was breath-taking at times and it was thoroughly entertaining, an absolute enjoyment going the match again. Didn't hear anybody moan about match prices then because it was worth every penny watching us play. The 4-0 win against the blueshite, the 5-1 battering of arsenal, the 3-0 win at OT. We were on fire.

      4. Kenny. Yes it was great to see him back. Yes he steadied the ship at times. Yes he won a cup. Yes we reached another final. But I'll risk getting banned (because if you say a bad word about KK on here then you're done for) but the football we played for the majority of times was poor and out dated. He wanted to build his team around Carroll and brought in Adam & Downing to supply him with the ball. It was awful at times. There were a few highlights certainly but the bad out weighed the good I'm afraid.

      5. Hodgson. His 6 months were the worst I've witnessed as a red. Nothing else needs to be said.

      I'm assuming this relates to the past 15 years only.

      And it's a results and trophies business for me so fairly easy.

      1. Benitez
      2. Houllier
      3. Dalglish
      4. Rodgers
      5. Hodgson

      1 Rafa Benitez,
      2 Gerard Houlier,
      3 King Kenny.

      Dont rate managers who dont put silverware in the cabinet so just 3 worthy of discussion for me.

      In terms of success, Houllier won the most trophies and that treble was pretty friggin epic. Even though Rafa won the Champions League, I'd have to give Gerard a very(!) slight edge.
