I believe it has been well established that "Ba was Offside...he was offside...I'm not 'avin' that"!!

He will be in the frame, but its hard to see how anyone apart from Dalglish would have him as assistant; it would be like Caesar adopting Brutus. Also I think the contract issue is more about playing time than a coaching role, B-Rod would probably love to fob him off with working with the ressies / kids as he wouldnt have to then deal with explaining every week why he wasnt picked.
Though saying that I am not sure that even them would just give him the managers job straight away. Yes, its never easy to state who would and who wouldnt be a great manager until they do it, but he has never struck me as someone who has oodles of tactical nous.
The vast majority of top managers in history were not great players themselves. Only have to look at the current crop to see that - e.g. Loew, Mourinho, Wenger, LVG, Martinez - in the past Moyes, Benitez for example etc
The PL managers XI (best footballers) wouldn't exactly be bristling with great stars
Koeman and Hughes and then Poch/Pellegrini/Poyet/Redknapp/Lambert to a lesser extent are the only really decent ones amongst them but it's hard to make a case for too many past and present PL managers being truly great at both disciplines though Brian Clough was one stand out example and further back the likes of Busby in particular and Shankly and - if you ignore the fact he coached some great players (which obviously helped) then probably Beckenbauer might be the leading candidate.

Pep was a boss little player. Simeone was handy too. Not that I don't see your point tho, no chance he makes it as a manager.

Cruyff wasnt bad, nor was Kendall.
With him though I think his career - which basically consists of fifteen years of him getting them out of trouble by scoring goals and running about a lot - doesnt really seem to lend itself to him being a decent manager.

If fergie was in charge he'd have been fcked off about four seasons ago. No room for sentiment if you want to be successful. Well maybe not fcked off but he'd have a much diminished role a la Giggs & Scholes at united.
Personally I think you either 'get' football or you don't. Liking it , watching it or even playing it at any level is not enough to be a top manager... You really have to get the game, have a feel for it and an instinct to know when it's not right and what to do.... You can't teach that, it's either in you or it's not.

Reckon if Rodgers really does reduce Slippy's game time then they'll be contenders for top 4 if they can keep in touch til Sturridge gets back

I have to disagree. They have at least 6 points more than their performances warrant. Very lucky to beat Southampton, QPR and Stoke. They are in a false position and should have 8-11 points max at the moment. I don't recall a more awful Liverpool team.

I've been injured mate.
Seriously, I haven't seen many games due to a trans-continental move in September. Apparently, I haven't missed much.
Worst story ever. Says a lot that it reinforced the stereotypes of 6 different groups (2 of which he belongs to), but only 1 sees fit to make a fuss.
And before the mods say stay on topic, I believe this is a case of a witch hunt against the RS
