Taking into account that this is a hypothetical thread this is my penny's worth,
Firstly, if available Rafa has to come back to allow him to finish what he started, but only under new owners with the finances to let him buy the players he feels will take us to the 19th and beyond, secondly, i personally would not want our club tarnished by Maureens ego or gamesmanship which he has used to gain a advantage, ask Celtic, Barca fans i want LFC to win accolades fairly, Louis Van Gaal, not for me thanks, Rikiaard, not a high enough profile for me, who is he with now? for example, Guus Hiddink yes deffo for me, or Guardiola another definite, but a manager i like and would love to see in the EPL, Joachim Loew, would love to see him manage us starting from scratch with new owners obviously, money to spend, i like the way he has his teams playing controlling football with the minimum of fuss it seems, very well organised from back to front, and with the right players in the right positions i believe we would become a very powerful force under his tutelage, so that makes four candidates to pick from...Rafa, Hiddink, Guardiola and loew, i would be extremely happy for any of those guys to manage us, for me Rafa has to be offered first refusal and whether he would come back is another matter, Kenny bless him would be fine in the short time and would probably turn us around fairly quickly, but after the honeymoon is over i dont think Kenny would be a ideal choice, for me he would be to emotionally involved and could effect decisions at vital times, Hiddink sounds perfect, very good man manager, tactically sound with mountains of knowledge and experience, but could he be tempted? Guardiola, a one club man who has proven in his short managerial career thus far has proven his worth, but something would have to go seriously wrong at the Camp Nou for him to be approached, and that leaves Joachim Loew, yes it would be a gamble but why not, he ticks all the right boxes for me and i think he would jump at the chance of managing a high profile club such as ours, new manager, new owners, new emphasis, new era, new beginning, f***in roll on the 6th Oct, it all starts to get better from then, we hope!!
