Who are the favourites to replace Rafa Benítez as Liverpool manager?

Bila bas nak sampai ni. Beg semua dah ready ni

Martin O'Neill


Current club: Aston Villa
Fair Kop: O’Neill has been successful at what ever level he has worked at, winning titles in Scotland and rebuilding Aston Villa. Hasn’t always had a lot of money either, which might be a plus for the Liverpool board.
This isn’t Anfield: Success in Scotland is one thing but O’Neill appears to have plateaued at Aston Villa and unproven at the very top of the game.
Fan’s favourite: O’Neill plays a pragmatic, direct, if exciting brand of football that may not sit well with some. But his belt and braces approach might be just the thing they crave in austere times.
Current odds: 13/8

Roy Hodgson

Current club: Fulham
Fair Kop: Hodgson’s stock has never been higher after taking ‘little’ Fulham to the Europa League final. A deep thinker on the game with bucket loads of experience, both at home and abroad.
This isn’t Anfield: While Hodgson is well regarded he falls short of the kind of box office name Liverpool fans might expect.
Fan’s favourite: Everyone loves ‘Uncle Roy’.
Current odds: 9/2
 
Kenny Dalglish

Current club: Liverpool
Fair Kop: Dalglish gave Liverpool their last title and is a club legend, as well as knowing the inner workings of the place better than anyone.
This isn’t Anfield: Been out of the management game for a while now and risks staining his reputation if he returns in difficult circumstances and fails.
Fan’s favourite: Yes.
Current odds: 10/1


Laurent Blanc

Current club: Available
Fair Kop: Hugely respected after taking Bordeaux to the title and quarter-finals of the Champions League in his first job in management after an illustrious playing career, including a spell in England.
This isn’t Anfield: Still callow in managerial terms and that his time in England was spent at Old Trafford goes against him.
Fan’s favourite: If they can look past the feeling he is being groomed to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson at United.
Current odds: 11/1

Jorge Jesus

Current club: Benfica
Fair Kop: A measured, intelligent coach Jesus made his name at Braga before taking Benfica to the Portuguese title and back in to the Champions League in some style.
This isn’t Anfield: No experience of the Premier League might count against him.
Fan’s favourite: The Kop saw first hand the quality of his team in this year’s Europa League and can’t fail to have been impressed.
Current odds: 12/1

Alex McLeish

Current club: Birmingham City
Fair Kop: In the running for manager of the year for a short while as Birmingham City enjoyed a fantastic season in the Premier League when tipped to struggle.
This isn’t Anfield: Liverpool would be a step up and he is being backed by the Birmingham board at present and might favour that to the madhouse of Anfield.
Fan’s favourite: Again not the big name fans would crave but a solid record at Birmingham and Rangers would buy him some grace.
Current odds: 14/1
