Jörg Schmadtke: The tendency is that Schmadtke will support Liverpool in the upcoming January transfer window as their Sporting Director. After that, the collaboration is supposed to end.

[tubby]

Would be nice to get someone permanent in.

[So… Howard Philips]

So we have a temporary Sporting Director for the January Transfer Window?

That, therefore , means we are buying at least one and probably two!

Especially if he's still working from Ibiza.

Big Jorg about to hold the party of the year in Ibiza next month.

Liverpool have signed Bellingham and Mbappe..

Wakes up the morning after

Liverpool have signed Jobe Bellingham and Mbeumo..

Fuck..

The promise of new signings and Samie's toothy smile is everywhere. 

[Boston always unofficial]

If he's only in temporary we'll only be getting loans right?

One of your better efforts...

When are the Liverpool directors finally going to take action against the corruption in the Premier League?

2 disallowed goals today and one handball in the previous game.

This is supposed to be again "incompetence" and "coincidence"? when it is clearly dirty English Corruption.

You know why this is corruption? They get to look at their performances afterwards and see the shite decisions they made yet there are no mprovements, there are no apologies, there are no corrections.

When you've got the likes of Webb running this "outfit", it is easy to see why.

Anyway, our owners are soft. They don't want to rock the boat. As long as we get a piece of the pie and are allowed to compete, all's well and dandy!

[The G in Gerrard]

Odd criticism of the club.

Owners aren't the club, to be fair to t_r_p

Fsg. However you want to call it.

[kavah]

Anyone know anyone at FSG or Redbird or Lebron - or anyone else that owns our club?
Now is the time to invest. Forget value - we have the chance of glory. It’s going to be a 60+ game season. Please don’t let us fall short because of AFCON, the Asia cup and a long injury list. Come on John Henry show us what you’ve learned in the last decade. January signings can make a difference

[TepidT2O]

From Christian Falk

Liverpool are ready to hold talks with director of football Jorg Schmadtke in February-March about extending his time at Anfield. They are VERY satisfied with his work and Klopp trusts him as he’s seen as a transfer expert

[newterp]

From Christian Falk

So, no Paul Mitchell from Monoco?

[newterp]

anyone surprised we haven't done a naming-rights deal for Anfield - at least with respect to some stands?

I think the owners may not want to kick the hornets nest with respect to Anfield overall - but they do have a deal for the training ground with AXA (right?).

No.

For me, it makes sense to leave naming rights to the next owners. Not tying the club down to long-term naming rights deals. Leaves an opportunity for nation-states to do it. That increases the value of the asset.

You have to leave a bit in it for the next owners.

I think they were looking for the main when it was done, but no agreeable deal could be reached.  At the time they stated they wouldn’t do a deal for the whole stadium, and it would always be called Anfield

[SamLad]

I don't follow baseball but it's still Fenway Park, right?

[Dim Glas]

Yes, one of 9 Major League Baseball parks without naming rights deals.

FSG have the sense not to piss off fans by monetizing every damn thing possible.

[DelTrotter]

Well, they are gonna be busy. New manager and new SD will have to be sorted as well as I can't imagine Jorge sticking around now.

Absolutely massive calls need to be made over the next few months. A new manager and a new SD. When, ideally, the SD would lead the search for a new manager.

Klopp told them earlier on, so I imagine things are already being prepared for the next man.

[lionel_messias]

These guys better step the fuck up now.

[Aeon]

It will be a tough job for anyone to accept or consider.

Who would like to succeed Jurgen Klopp and compete against a corrupt system with limited funds?

I'd be surprised if someone like Xabi Alonso accepted.

[Barneylfc∗]

The FSGOut crowd are going to be even more unbearable than they already are.

Pull yourself together man.

Liverpool Football Club.

[groove]

So I think, Alonso-aside, they will be looking at managers who are proven to work well and have had success under other data-led teams. Looking at Brighton and Brentford, primarily.

It'll be FSG's fault Klopp is leaving.

[buttersstotch]

Alonso just feels too right as a natural successor - improving players, budget, CL experience and knows what the PL is like from playing in it. I like De Zerbi, but I think the pressure of the club might get to him.

Massive summer for us again though as we need to find the right person culturally

[Stockholm Syndrome]

I hope they announce they new appointment as soon as possible rather than let it rumble on

[wige]

So.. I'm 100% on board with the it being "the right man" over the "right name" or someone who will drive more social media interactions. 100%.

But.

I don't think the current, or previous, Brentford/Brighton Managers are going to do anything except incite a riot.

De Zerbi MAYBE would be accepted but Frank and Potter would get pelters

Also, Alonso would have -hopefully- by the end of the season experience winning a league, unlike a De Zerbi.

Anyone know if Zidane's english is any good?
