Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Harvey Elliott (Harvey Daniel James Elliott)

I was at the game today, I don't get to too many. Just wanted to mention Elliott applauding the travelling fans at the end as he did it for longer than any of the other players, some of whom didn't do it all.

Top man, Harv.

Who are we replacing Salah with?

That’s for the super duper structure and Slot to decide.

If you want me to say Neto again just for the barrage of injury shouts I’ll do it

How is it tosh? I've not seen anything as accurate since I had my fortune read and it said I'd die alone.

As far as the sporting director thing goes, however you phrase it, your coach must want to play who you sign, that's it.

At the top level there's no strong arming people to a positive outcome, if you're here then you're a tough character, including the likes of Rodgers. Trying to strong arm them into playing the Sporting Director's picks will only lead to sabotage and conflict.
If I were to speculate, where it failed last time was Klopp became too powerful imo due to his success, the likes of Nunez and Gakpo were signed over the heads of the SD and team. They rightly left.
This time round, sure let the SD and his scouts and analysts pick players for positions the coach wants, offer him the list, let him pick. If he has suggestions, you analyse the player, then you give your decision. Make sure you stick to that even if Slot wins the treble first season, follow through on the mutual agreement for a player process, maintain that good relationship.

Think it started with the Hendo contract, Edwards clearly thought he was about to start the decline, Klopp wanted his captain to stay and got involved and Hendo ended on a massive contract for 4 more years. I'd imagine that shifted power to Klopp and Edwards left.

I really think (hope) we will go back to the early years of Klopp, Edwards and Gordon where we got Mane, Salah, Firmino, everyone working together.

If he likes, attacking, high tempo football, do we have a team capable of this.
If the answer is yes, then why arent we playing that style of football now, where did the heavy metal football go and why.

Is Slot happy with the structure though or was conceding power the only way he would get the job.?

He probably thinks he can come in do well and build his powerbase at the club the way Klopp did. The issue is will that result in a power struggle. Rodgers lost out to Edwards and was sacked. Klopp gained more power and Edwards left.

Which manager worth his salt at which club isn't working under a Sporting Director?
