[Football] Jurgen Klopp ….stepping down at end of 23/24 season

[GloryDays]

sadly I think they would be very tempted by De Zerbi and vice versa

Alonso....?

 

[SUIYHP]

If (big if) De Zerbi is being considered as Klopp’s successor I suspect Bloom and Barber already know. As much as it would be terrible to lose De Zerbi, I would expect we have already planned for his possible departure ages ago.

I dont want to call it but I still think RDZ is waiting for the City job.

 

[Brovion]

Let's hope we lose all our games between now and the end of the season so that RDZ's reputation suffers and we keep him.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Gus to Anfield...?

 

[GloryDays]

It's very, very weird timing and a lot of speculation to be had. Top of the league with a new(ish) squad so it's very strange to suddenly do it now.

So maybe he knows something is coming next season he doesn't want to be part of.

New owners which would morally compromise him.
FFP/ Profit Sustainability
Knows something about the city charges.


Think he might take Germany in the summer and enjoy life after that.

All of these are guesses.

PS Personally I would love to see Potter there but in all honesty I don't think they'll give him the keys if they finish inside the top 2. Similarly RDZ. If Alonso wins Bundesliga with Leverkusen it has to be nailed on.

What crazy news.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I wouldn’t worry about RDZ, it has to be Alonso.

He’s not going to Real, he’s a Liverpool legend, I doubt he’d want to go from Leverkusen straight to Bayern and at the moment, is doing an even better job than De Zerbi.

 

[Braggfan]

Alonso....?

I think De Zerbi will get linked but Alonso is surely going to be their number 1 choice.

 

[Nathan]

Gerrard.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Potter rubbing his hands with glee!

Too far to commute from Hove

 

[Weststander]

Alonso.

 

[GloryDays]

Don't worry about RDZ. If he goes he goes.

Perhaps Potter comes back after all.

 

[The Wizard]

Great manager, dislike him as a person, very passive aggressive.

Xabi Alonso or RDZ would be the natural successor, unfortunately.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Let's hope we lose all our games between now and the end of the season so that RDZ's reputation suffers and we keep him.

That's the spirit!

 

[lawros left foot]

I’m surprised he’s announced it now, never seems to go well when managers announce they’re going long before they actually go.


I expect he will go to Palace.

 

[GJN1]

If De Zerbi is being considered as Klopp’s successor I suspect Bloom and Barber already know. As much as it would be terrible to lose De Zerbi, I would expect we have already planned for his possible departure ages ago.

Just do a straight swap.

 

[Clive Walker]

RDZ has the style but not the prestige that Liverpool will demand.

Barber already knows who our next manager will be anyway.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Betfair have a market up

Alonso 2.63
Lijnders 4
You've got to be kidding * 6.5
DeZerbi 8.5



*Gerrard. I'm assuming some lunatic has put a few quid on him

I really, really hope they don't go for Gerrard - I'm banking on Palace going for him or Lampard when Hodgson is sacked!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

No wonder he's knackered

He's on that Peloton all the time

 

[Guinness Boy]

While Alonso must be favourite RDZ must be a strong candidate. Mac Allister will certainly be singing his praises

 

[Nicks]

That's a shame as I do like his interviews etc.
One of the few characters in football these days
