Topic: Jürgen Klopp: New Liverpool Manager Gifsteria! (Safe for Work Gifs only!)

[redbyrdz]

Out of interest, to those who follow the bundesliga and especially dortmund... What went wrong for Klopp in his last season as their manager ?

Tons of injuries, his best players players poached by Bayern, and other teams got accustomed to his style.

[[new username under construction]]

Yeah. isn't he in the middle of like planned 3 back surgeries?

Wow....impressive! how many backs does he have?

[BobPaisley3]

Rubin Kazan tickets will be like hot cakes.

Breaking: Ian Ayre appointed new Liverpool manager.

Italians never work well at LFC

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Ancelotti has a fantastic CV and experience, but he comes across as a bit of a "luxury" manager where he'd need to have a bundle of talented players at his disposal in order to succeed rather than start from the ground up.

this might be true. I think Klopp is one of the best right now and getting the maximum out of his players.

[please, I have my reasons for it but...]

Ancelotti's last job where he didn't have to work with financial constraints and make a team larger than the sum of its parts was Parma in 1996 till 1998.

Since then he managed teams where his main job was massaging the big star's egos and making sure they co-exist as a team, Klopp's Dortmund on the other hand, always over performed whether domestically or continentally except his last season.

Seriously just watch all of this interview. That laugh of his. He's brilliant 

Great charisma and energy. He would absolutely lift this club.

Of course you need the managing credentials to go with that and he sure has that.

[BeautifulGame91]

What worries me with Klopp, is that his style may not fir our current players.

Whoever we hire, I expect a lot of departures from now and to the end of the summer transfer window in 2016.

Apart from Mignolet and Skrtel not sure which player his style won't suit .q

He also wanted by Benteke 2-3 years back but priced out by Villa as well

[TheTeflonJohn]

Has any of the trusted Journalists said anything about the replacement?

[Zlen]

Not very interested in who it turns out to be, mostly since I'm pretty sure it will not be one of the obvious strong candidates but more likely a DeBoer or someone similar. Klopp is such an obvious candidate, looks like a tailor made solution to what we need and not just on the pitch, but in general. We'll see...hope we don't wait long for the resolution.

[sully0182]

Sherwood like it to be Tim...

[Red Beret]

Liverpool may not be on the same financial footing as City, Chelsea or United, but I'd say we are easily above Spurs and only a little below Arsenal.  Our commercial side is far more powerful than it was 10 years ago for example.  I'm confident we can compete for top quality players who aren't interested in selling their souls to the highest bidder.

I can just see the headline: Kop Cops Klopp! 

On the other hand, Mourhino might resign tomorrow.... 

[swordfishtrombone]

Didn't Barrett say last week that FSG weren't keen on the idea of Klopp?

[lakes]

hope its not Klopp

[Mutton Geoff]

Well given the choice let it be Klopp, and lets see him lose it with Ayre,

 Klopp is manic and maybe we need an intense nutter in charge to sort out the club.

[Gegenpresser]

Out of interest, to those who follow the bundesliga and especially dortmund... What went wrong for Klopp in his last season as their manager ?

Injuries, loss of key players, terrible finishing, poor purchases by the DoF.

With that said, they turned it around after the winter break and Klopp resigned on good terms.

[rawcusk8]

Come home Rafa. Them fuckers in Madrid dont appreciate you. Loved by many at Liverpool. Makes perfect sense to me.

[Kongegaard]

Maybe Roy Hodgson is on hes way back, ?

[Fiasco]

Maybe Roy Hodgson is on hes way back, ?

That would be utopia.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Gotta admit, creaming myself at the idea of Klopp being the next manager. Seems like such a perfect fit for us right now.

[Nick110581]

hope its not Klopp

Any reason?

[rafathegaffa83]

Klopp would be the better fit in my view for a long-term project. His work at Dortmund with younger players demonstrates that. As great as Ancelotti is, he hasn't really a track record of developing younger players. Most of the teams he have worked with have been wealthy clubs with older players that are designed to win immediately (Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Milan)

[Mutton Geoff]

pissing in the wind

[RogerTheRed]

Brain says Ancelotti, heart says Klopp.
Sick of heart letting me down.
So Carlo 😊

[YNWA4Life]

Comparing our situation to last time makes me grin with optimism
Being linked to Klopp and Ancelotti vs Martinez and Rodgers is a great situation to be in.
Let's hope we follow through!

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Maybe Roy Hodgson is on hes way back, ?

He and ancelloti are almost polar opposites in character....



Do we need nutter or Nutella (smooth and tasty)?

I have no idea...

Maybe Carlo has a reputation for combining world superstars into a team... We don't have those, so maybe klopp?

Who knows.  I will miss Brendan though

[L666KOP]

The statement by FSG proves the new man is already in place.

"......this change gives us the best opportunity......"

[Gegenpresser]

Any reason?

Cons for Klopp are that his style would put incredible physical demands on our players and might not work as well against England's larger proportion of shithouse clogger clubs.

[Father Ted]

It's a tragedy that a man of Alan Shearer's footballing insight is wasting away in the MOTD pundit's chair.

[GODS LEFT BOOT]

Gotta admit, creaming myself at the idea of Klopp being the next manager. Seems like such a perfect fit for us right now.

Which is why is probably wont happen.
I dont have any faith in the people running the club to make the best decision.
They are probably scared of him. 

[MarioLFC]

If we get Klopp I'm on the ale for a week

wish i could like this lol, am with you on this one

[CallumLFC]

Any reason?

Who cares. There are always a few against anything. That is the way of the world.

Klopp is the man. Absolutely no other option out there who is a better fit and the right credentials that match our situation.

He built Dortmund from a similar situation to what we are in.

He's the number one pick. That is without doubt.

I can only thank him for doing everything he could to stop the rot , its time some players stood up to be counted about this last years efforts

[MarioLFC]

so hope we get klopp, settle for CA but klopp hopefully will bring marco reus with him

[AndyMuller]

Maybe that quote Rodgers gave about it being hard for the youngsters or whatever it was may indicate it will be Carlo.

Dortmund were far worse than we are when he came in

Rafa Honigstein says we have not contacted Klopp yet.
