    I would suck off 10 Half dead tramps, learn to drive and drive him up the Celtic way to get it done.

    Anyone with me?

    Of course I would. It's just a shame it is incredibly unlikely to happen.

    Tell you what, save yourself a few quid and dont bother learning to drive - you do the rest, I'll do the driving.

    Would take him in a heart beat, but he is in that sort of elite level that really we would need to spend more than we ever considered before. We would be deemed as a step down to him as well, can't imagine he will be short on offers to accept what we can offer him.

    Of course! A far more inspiring name than Eddie 'Whothefuckishe' Howe!

    I’m not sure about this one
    Didn’t do well at Newcastle and his team are 2nd bottom in China, is his motivation still there

    I’d rather Eddie Howe. Young modern ambitious

    Not sure he needs that sort of leg up like Rodgers may have.

    It's the wage that makes it a no go for me - in a realistic world -
    £12mill in China, likes of Newcastle would take him back in a heart beat as well if they get their takeover sorted and would easily pay 8+ for him.
    Rodgers was on £2.5mill a year with us and deemed high end for us, can't see us pushing much beyond £3mill or so.

    Far less likely than Howe, but doubt either will be within our reach. I live in hope that we pull one out of the hat but it's wishful thinking.

    It'll be John Kennedy.

    I would drive him from the Wirral when he lands back in the UK to Parkhead to sign on that dotted line.

    Not gonna say I wouldnt want benitez or Howe but one manager who would be cheaper and available is Philip Cocu. Good success at psv, very unlucky at derby, experience with European football playing and managing. History of development of young players (wijnaldum, depay, knight).
