Topic: LFC's next manager - chat and informed speculation

[Stockholm Syndrome]

Which won't be Hoeness or any other German candidate.

I do think that's a little undermining of him. He has done incredibly well at Stuttgart and plays very very close to our style of play both in style and formation.

I think it will be Amorim and I think his style ultimately looks very similar to ours but there are fair concerns to say our Squad doesn't really look built for his 3-4-3 (as it wasn't built for that it was built for Klopps formation)

[Suareznumber7]

I personally hope that we hire someone who changes our style of play so that we have a bit more control in matches.  I don't buy the need for us to keep the same style with the new manager.  The players that we have should have no problem adapting to a new style of play and any manager coming in trying to replicate what we do now will struggle I think.

Agreed. Also because a calmer play-style may preserve some players legs. As much as I love Klopps heavy metal. Which is why the Xabi one hurt more.

Hope Amorim continues with his 3-4-3. Excited for it. But if it isn't Amorim I honestly might be in the minority that think De Zerbi would do wonderful here...and we'd love the style of football.

Can't he have Klopp's gaff?

Can do better than an apartment. Rafa would put him up in Caldy.

[Garlic Red]

Can tell Edwards is back if the agents are buying gaffs in the City.

Orny on his podcast.

From what I hear they [Liverpool] should be in position to make more concrete advances on whoever emerges as their top [managerial] target pretty soon.

Really like Orny but I mean.....yeah no shit.

Orny on his podcast.

Water is wet. Thanks Ornstein.

Becoming a bit Neil Jones, isn't he?

[skipper757]

That Ornstein comment is the most non-committed update ever that anyone could make with plausibility deniability intact.

“Liverpool appear to maybe be ready to potentially approach their top target, whoever that might be.”

Cheers Dave.

I like that no one has a fucking clue. Orny might, but he's not giving it away. Perfect. If it's Amorim, the leverage he might command is curtailed. If it's not Amorim, the leverage is with the club.

Rafa's offered his living room sofa, but not until next week as he's got the decorators in.

Terrible Balague-esque wording from a supposed journalist that gives the impression of a half-arsed non-statement.

What he probably means is he's got wind (from the teamsheet leaker probably) that the Nerd-in-Chief and his minions are having an internal meeting in the next few days/week to decide upon the preferred candidate, before FSG get to rubber-stamp the choice and agreed remuneration, terms etc.

Great insight from the "Analyst" as he called himself just pick out ALL the names linked and then say the most favoured will get it.

How do I apply for one of these expert/pundit jobs its seems piss easy to me !!

I agree, think a change of style refreshing of ideas would be good for everyone. Football is always evolving

He can have Firmino's place in Formby. It's on the market right now. Well, as long as he's got a spare £4.6m.

[Vinay]

I can't wait for the new management and coaching team to start.

[smicer07]

I can't wait for the new management and coaching team to start.

I dread to think what this place will be like then. Thankfully I won't be here to worry about it.

[mickeydocs]

Jurgen Klopp has won every single top honour since taking Liverpool from middling mediocrity to the best team in the world.

[frag]

It feels like naturally the right time for a new coaching staff. Unless you’ve got endless funds, supplied via financial cheating, it’ll be damn near impossible to keep the intensity up. I think a new approach is needed, something more structured and “boring” maybe, and a new voice around the club will spark a refresh.

However, I don’t for one second think I’d be positive about a new manager coming in if it wasn’t for the work Klopps done in dragging this club to a new standard.

[KissThisGuy]

Where exactly in Formby is it?

Haha, this forum has gone bonkers.

[Midget]

How is Amorim with build-up play, especially in the first phase?

[Son of Spion]

Lifeboat Road.

[mobydick]

"I can't wait for the new management and coaching team to start"

I feel the same. nobody is ripping their arse for Jürgen any more.

"Haha, this forum has gone bonkers."

Always was

Agree and I’ll miss JK hugely, best manager in my lifetime.
But I remember when Mourinho between 2003 and 2007 was probably the best manager in the world….but son after he was moving jobs, his football was no longer getting results.
Similarly Rafa between 2003-2009 was excellent…but again his style of football soon got found out and he’s similar, can’t hold onto a job etc…
But one thing in life that is constant and that’s change….

Has Klopp been found out? We are 3rd in the league, 2 points behind. We'd probably be top if kicking a man in the chest was a foul. This is all while rebuilding the midfield and attack in the last couple of years.

Can you show some balls and state explicitly the point you are trying to make?

Reads to me like you are saying Jurgen is done as a coach at highest level, which is utterly fucking bonkers!

God help you, if that's the case. You're in for a world of pain once he's gone

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

They're crawling out of the woodwork now. Always happens when times are tough. Was the same for Rafa too... and he didn't have a fraction of the credit in the bank that Jurgen does.

Yep, the championship fucking manager brigade. Shithouses. They need to be called out!

They said this in 2015, they said it in 2020/21 and they're saying it again (just a couple of months after he won a trophy!!).

Bizarre how a rough patch (this one being relatively mild compared to the others) brings this to the fore. The man has been operating at the elite for 14 years without the cash cow benefits his peers have. Insanity to think he is done.

[G Richards]

Jurgen is brilliant. Nothing but the highest respect for him. He made his decision and needs a break. The team at present looks in a bit of a funk. Fine margins though, as we could easily have won more games just with average finishing, and obviously we have had some very dubious decisions going against us. All this is to say the league cup is in the bag and we are fighting for the Prem against the odds. You never say never, but most likely we will finish second or third. We’ll see.

In a way it seems wrong at this precise moment to be talking about the new manager, as the current one, and his team, need our love and raucous support. This season is in danger of fizzling out and I’m gutted if it does, not just for ourselves but for the great man Jurgen Klopp.

[Vinay]

It is not about Klopp being 'found out', or Klopp being a bad manager. The team looks flat and out of gas. The coaching staff cannot find a solution. The football is slowly becoming dreeary. A new coaching staff, new manager, and probably a few new players will inject new ideas and we can enjoy some good results.

Meanwhile,  let us enjoy the last 5 games with Klopp.

It's football, it happens. Football is full of ups and downs, it feels as if some people are just completely spoilt now and the moment anything gets remotely tough they are chucking their toys out of their prams. God help the new manager if he doesn't start off well next season. All managers go through tough moments, it used to be that fans would stick to a team through thick and thin. It would appear to no longer be the case now, no manager or player is allowed a run of bad form, before they are immediately bundled out of the club by fans who just can't take the bad moments anymore.
