‘I’m not convinced’… Pundit says 41-year-old PL manager wouldn’t be a good fit for Liverpool

Liverpool are on the lookout for a new manager.

The Reds need to find a new gaffer this summer, and after it was reported that Xabi Alonso won’t be taking the job, many are wondering where Liverpool will go next.

Speaking on , Jason Cundy has been fielding calls from a number of Liverpool fans who had their own theories on who should be the next manager, and one fan made a rather left-field suggestion.

Jason Cundy unconvinced by Liverpool manager suggestion

Cundy spoke to a Liverpool fan who suggested that the Reds should hire Rob Edwards from Luton.

“I’m going to throw a spanner in the works and say Rob Edwards from Luton. Luton play with no fear,” One fan said.

“Hmm, I’m not convinced. He’s doing a fab job, but I’m not convinced. I think the squad that is built, I’m not convinced that is the smoothest handover,” Cundy said.

Rob Edwards wouldn’t be right for Liverpool

This is a rather ridiculous suggestion.

Nobody is saying that Edwards hasn’t done a good job at Luton this season, but that step up to Liverpool is incredible.

The reality is that there’s still a huge chance that Luton are relegated this season, and you surely can’t be in line for one of the biggest jobs in football if you take a team down from the Premier League.

Edwards may well climb the managerial ladder in the coming years, but we really can’t see the 41-year-old making such a jump at this moment in time.

Liverpool need their next manager to be someone who has operated at the highest level and is a proven winner, and, in all honesty, Edwards isn’t that man.

We really can’t see the Reds going down this route once Jurgen Klopp leaves the club this summer.
