Finally - greatest ever LFC manager

Had a few requests to add a manager to take charge of our greatest ever team.  Throw in your votes.

Roy Hodgson should have been on the list...only for Kenny Dalglish and the rest in the dream team to tell him how to actually manage a football team...and how to be honourable and dignified in the process.

No woy?

No woy?

Some people are just too great to be listed.

Who gives a twt about Woy.

Took me two seconds to think and choose.

Wow. Tough question.  Personally I chose Paisley. It was between him and Dalglish. Not ignoring Shankly but, I believe Paisley was a better Mgr and overall leader. He accomplished more 6 league Titles and 3 European Cups. He had to take over from one of the greatest Mgr's in the history of English Football, not just Liverpool' greatest mgr. He was an old school manager in the begining of the modern game and holds the record for winning a trophy every 26 matches. I think many will agree that he had a better all around football mind than Shankly. I read that the "Boot Room" was Bob's idea and he led the discussions and formed their tactics, which Shankly implemented. He never won the FA Cup but compared to 3 European Titles, who cares. He has a higher win pct than Shankly.

I'm sure we can debate this and the poll will officially settle the debate. But IMO Paisley was the greatest Liverpool manager of all time.

Can't be arsed with the wind up

Chose Kenny. First LFC memory is the pens win against Roma. After that the 86 double followed by extreme obsession and shock when he quit. All of my first, good LFC memories were mostly managed by Kenny. I didn't put him in my team, mad I know, so he goes in as my manager. If I think back to how that late 80s team played under him then I'm sure my team would flourish under him.

No woy?

That's Saint Roy to you, thank you very much.

Well this is a very difficult one, many ways of looking at it - but if there was no Shankly, there likely wouldn't be anyone else here on this list.

It's got to be him - I'll go for the pure symbolism of it all.

Just look at Sir Bob's record he is not only Liverpools greatest but footballs greatest. Shankly is in Sir Bob's dna so its a vote for them both but again look at the managers on that list and then we picked f***in Woy and..... but now were back on track.

Bob Paisley

Sir Robert Paisley.

Has to be Mr Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of Liverpool football club.

Shankly. He is to Liverpool like St Peter is to the Vatican.

If it hadn't been for Shankly, there wouldn't have been a platform for Bob, Joe and Kenny to build their legends, and when you think about the success he had himself its an easy choice fire me.
Must note that Kenny is my favourite manager though.

It all started with Shanks in 1959.

The culture,  the Kop, the songs , the pass and move the first European nights .........   it was all down to Shankly .

He brought us up from the old second division and within a couple of years we were winning the league , bagging our first FA Cup and playing the European nights.

The rest as they say is history. Our history.

Shanks started it all and Bob continued the legacy taking us on to great heights.


There would be no temple without first the foundations.


Shanks.

Bill no question. I build the base for other managers as well. I read his autobiography and he was not a Scouser but he loved Liverpool with his life. The board should have gave him some sort of job after he retired.

Throughout this I've voted for people I've seen. Not here. Shanks deserves the recognition, without him we may not even have this forum to be voting in the first place.

Boby Paisley for me, based solely on what he achieved trophy wise.

Ronnie Moran coach/assistant manager.

The only Roy that should be mentioned in here is a certain Mr Evans, who nurtured our biggest crop of youth team players into the first team that I can remember.

Paisley for me. Shanks was undoubtedly a great manager, but Bob imo took us to a new level, changed our style of play and brought us unprecedented success. Close enough to be siamese twins but Bob just edges it.

My top three

Paisley
Shankly
Dalglish

I'd agree with that but I've tried to go with personal experience as much as I could.
