That is great in 8 years.
A classic case of 'what did the Romans ever do for us?' If we had won all that we would have evaporated in a cauldron of our own hysteria.

These things are usually announced at the end, or towards the end of the season. Certainly easier to do off the back of a trophy or two, go out in glory. As it is, we are in January with Liverpool still in four competitions. Not exactly an ideal time for your manager to say he’s off. We are not sure how this will impact the team. It might galvanise them and already we‘re hearing “do it for Jürgen,” or it could destabilise. It could be then that someone found out and the media were about to break the story. If so Liverpool would have been “bounced” into doing this now.
He's done the right thing at the right time. Any player downing tools now is a...tool.

Nah. He told the club a couple of months ago, so the news was going to leak and he thought it best to announce it before everyone found out. He can also try and get the team to all pull together for one season of glory.
Precisely.

Great. Months of De Zerbi to Liverpool rumours.
its already started, let's face it what's there not to like for him or Liverpool, a club used to innovation, plenty of links already, no stress that pivotal players will be poached meaning the stress of trying to pick a precise team with limited resources is greatly diminished (whereas once again we find ourselves in the position of trying to ward off the poachers, this time for our greatest asset (Uncle Tony excepted). My guess is that we are already in talks, at least nothing will happen during the season, Liverpool, Klopp and RDZ are not c***s like Chelsea et al.

8 years that have coincided with Pep Guardiola's tenure at City, a combination that’s been more efficient and more ruthless than any team in my lifetime — and I’m pretty ancient.

Something else to think about. If and when the Premier League ever reach a verdict on the charges against City, and if they’re found guilty and are given a suitably severe punishment, we might find that a few more trophies are ‘posthumously' awarded to Klopp and Liverpool. If not literally, then certainly theoretically, once the ethical reflection kicks in.

My (uninformed) take is that RDZ will quite likely want to move on after this season anyway; we have a similar manager recruitment strategy to player recruitment, after all, and I doubt he sees us as a long-term commitment. If the Liverpool job is offered him I should imagine he’d be delighted. As has been said, he’d be a good fit on paper - although following a club legend carries its share of risk.

Pep’s post match interview last night was interesting. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he now quits City at the end of the season.

Now that would be more of a concern for us re: RDZ!
City are the best club in the world, and should be able to attract the best managers. Roberto is not the second best manager.

I agree. Albeit this depends whether the players have become entitled, and unwilling to accept a manager who hasn't won anything. That said, RDZ takes no prisoners, and yet seems to be loved by (our) players.

VVD has already come out and said he is considering his future now that Liverpool will be Kloppless (18 months left on his contract). Salah is in the same 18 month boat.

It may not just be Klopp they end up losing this summer.

They'll find their way down to us, just like Adam and Millie
