Originally posted by Angry BoyI see what you are saying the problem is that Manchester United need a personality like Keane to take over as their next manager.
I can't see Fergie being happy taking Keane on board to take over. Fergie's not going to announce a year in advance that he's going to leave again and I think Keane would rather walk in as a breath of fresh air. It'd be an uneasy relationship to say the least.
If we don't get someone with his drive and presance then any manager could be a risk because like one of the earlier posts said we need a manager that will say to the top stars, you're out if you do not perform in the next game.
Obviously Keane is too inexperienced to take over in the short term so I think the best solution would be for Fergie to take him as an assistant coach (with an agreement that Keane can take over within 2 years), the public do not need to know about this arrangement and Fergie could keep on saying publically that he wants to continue until he feels its right to leave.
I agree thinking about it that it could all fall apart at United when Fergie leaves and to me Keane has already shown he has what it takes to coach a team.
He also knows United better than anyone, so he seems like the safest candidate to continue after Fergie.
The problem is maybe Keane doesn't want to take an assistant role and United would never take him as the next manager in the short term because he is too inexperienced.
With Sir Alex in charge we have always been able to replace the top stars like Cantona, Ince, Hughes, Beckham, Stam, Van Nistelrooy, Schemikel, Yorke, Bruce, Pallister.
With Sir Alex in charge losing Giggs and Scholes would not be the end, we could easily continue.
Loosing Sir Alex though could be a turning point for the worse.
Its difficult to imagine what would happen without him.
Keano would be the safest bet if he continues to prove he can develop, but I'll admit when Fergie retires it could potentially all fall apart no matter what manager we get.

LFC 2 Arsenal 1 FA Cup final 2001
Chelsea 3 LFC 2 League Cup final 2005
LFC 3 AC Milan 3 Champions League final 2005
LFC 3 West Ham 3 FA Cup final 2006
These games weren't entertaining then? What planet are YOU on? The last 2 have been described by many as the possibily the best ever finals of their respective competitions.
With Jordi Cruyff playing for the opposition???
Originally posted by Angry BoyYes the games you mention are some of the most entertaining in recent years, you could include the CL final of 2007, Liverpool made it an entertaining game and Milans 1st goal was hand ball.
LFC 2 Arsenal 1 FA Cup final 2001
Chelsea 3 LFC 2 League Cup final 2005
LFC 3 AC Milan 3 Champions League final 2005

Liverpool like Manchester United have the ability to change their style of play during a game and turn the game around, which is what happened in most of the games you listed.
The problem is that Liverpool do not consistently produce attractive football, they seem to only raise their game when they really need to.
Why is this?
Originally posted by blade68Thanks Blade, I'd forgotten about that one. Probably because I was v drunk indeed! So, we the forum posters, conclude that LFC have been involved in arguably the greatest ever UEFA Cup, Champions League and FA Cup finals and all in the last 6 years.
Alaves??????
60sred, you are found guilty of being a numpty and are hereby sentenced to a ridiculing each and every time you post in future, until such time as I become too bored to continue or you post something worthwhile.

Lame (again). Are you getting tired? At least your other posts were funny - in a laughing at you kind of way.
Congratulaions Liverpool on reaching the Champions League final and keeping the English game on the radar in Europe.
Congratulations Manchester United, the Champions of England.
