Klopp Out Arne In

[MissChief]

That's true and implies it's maybe the time to take a punt on an up-and-coming young manager because the opportunity cost is lower than usual (i.e. you aren't overlooking some obvious big candidate to appoint them).

Someone like Emery is probably the closest you'll get to that middle ground of an established manager that is not elite but has won trophies and punched above his weight recently (iirc he won more points in his first year or so at Villa than everyone except Pep and Arteta, he took Villa from 15th iirc to Europe last season etc). That's not say I think Liverpool should appoint him but it's worth noting that he's outperformed the media darling RDZ by some distance despite the latter inheriting a team that were in the top4 when Potter left compared to a team just above the relegation zone when Gerrard left.

No doubt Arsenal are happy with Arteta now but they really dropped the ball letting Emery go.

I don't think so, he didn't really fit and I'm not sure he would have made the big decisions such as what to do with Auba.

We really didn’t. He just didn’t fit the club. We would have the odd little spell of doing well, but then we’d start struggling again. I would bet my left testicle that he would never be fighting for the league and champs league the way Arteta is.

Price on Alonso going out quite a bit today, anything new about?

 

[C Kent]

Nope, just the usual chancer 'journos' saying a decision will he made in 3-4 weeks (basically when Leverkusen will have wrapped up the title, around game week 30)

Xabi Alonso will NOT succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager

Alonso had been strongly mooted as a Jurgen Klopp successor since the German announced he was to leave the club this summer.

I'm not all that enamoured with Amorim or De Zerbi tbh. Neither fill me with much excitement

 

[omnomnom]

I really dont want De Zerbi...

 

[Robbo]

Surprised by that, I thought he'd be up for the Liverpool job.

I really dont want De Zerbi...

Neither do i

Southgate looks likely to be available after the summer.

I heard he has already bought a house in Manchester

 

[MissChief]

I don't get the love for Southgate. He was relatively poor in his club career. Some would say he's been poor in his national team career too, managing to find a way to fail with what some see as the most talented England Squad in years.

 

[C Kent]

Is there any love for southgate outside of a couple of little englanders in the media? Everyone knows he's garbage.

 

[adam cool dude]

Jose is looking for a job.

 

[Ayahuasca]

I honestly think it’s a good thing Alonso isn’t coming straight in after Klopp.

Woy needs a top tier send off, get him back in and remind everyone just how bad it can get before hiring another superstar.

 

[C Kent]

Confirmed he's staying at Leverkusen, good on him - have a lot of eyes on him next season to see what he can acheive in the CL.
