Don't think there are that many candidates at the moment, Jurgen was always the man in demand, plenty of clubs were interested. The main issue will be having the personality and the credibility to take over from Jurgen. Xabi had the credibility but of course that ship has sailed.
Amporin or whoever is going to have to deal with an expectation 20 times what Jurgen had, but of course the squad will be 20 times better as well. The irony is that many of the names in the frame would've actually had more time/patience if they were following Rodgers.
I've been wondering about the bit in bold. Of course, replacing Klopp is not an easy task by any means. In fact, it's impossible. You can come in and be yourself, then stand or fall on the strength of that. Or you can try to be someone you're not, and fall flat on your face.
In a way, I wonder if coming in after Klopp actually reduces the expectation rather than ramp it up. It seems pretty clear that virtually everyone expects a drop off once Klopp goes. I don't think I've seen anyone, anywhere, suggesting we'll power on and improve further without him. We may well do so, but I'm not seeing anyone pushing that view seriously.
So I wonder if this actually gives the new man a bit of breathing space, because expectations are not actually that high? I know when Klopp came in I did expect to win the title. After Kyiv I did expect us to regroup and lift Big Ears at the next attempt. But as things stand, I have no such expectations of the new man, regardless of who he may be. With Klopp I, and many others I might add, knew he was a surefire winner. With anyone else, well who knows?
The new man may enjoy a bit of slack water, where the current isn't running in either direction.
