    Just Liverpool fans.
    And Manchester United fans, as you conveniently left out (wonder why?). Both as bad as each other.

    Haha. Hilarious. Let's have a look at the times when you post in the United match day threads. Every time we drop points. Don't see you anywhere near our threads when things are going well. Shocker.

    Liverpool WERE a big club. Not any more. The only people that fail to realise it are Liverpool fans.

    Maybe they will be again but there is nothing to suggest that will happen. Average squad that was constructed from selling the one of the very few world class players ye have had in years. No major talents in the academy. Dried up.

    It's hilarious - two years ago I was hoping Liverpool would win the league. But the behaviour of some Liverpool fans here make me very happy to see how the club has fallen.

    Klopp and Ancelloti would be mad to take the post. Mad. They are better than Liverpool.

    That's not an insult. That's my personal belief.

    This is hysterical, and not for the reasons that you think it is.

    Don't you see anything mildly ironic in turning up in the thread about the Liverpool manager and abusing the club, the fans and the potential managers who have expressed an interest.

    Perspective. You done got none.

    I hope Klopp does go to Liverpool, because frankly I think he will be a failure there.

    He is lauded as one of the top managers in the game for doing a good job at Dortmund, but in fact there is little to suggest he will be a guaranteed success anywhere else, the game is full of managers who did well at one club then completely failed to recreate that success at the next.

    You would think Klopp was a legend of the game to hear some of the gushing praise he gets when in fact he could easily be as successful as AVB or Phil Scolari.

    Of course he could be successful, but I certainly won't be placing any bets on it.

    Plenty of major talent in the Liverpool youth ranks at the moment. But I'm sure you know best

    Every appointment is a gamble to some extent. All you can do is try and tilt the balance in your favour.

    The sheer hypocrisy here is absolutely mind-blowing.

    It's adorable.

    The top clubs in Europe look forward to picking the best crop.

    Fair play to ye for providing such a great service.

    "Klopp is a great manager, he gets the best out of players. I would love him at my club".

    Klopp could be going to liverpool.

    "I never rated him, he is a poor manager. I cant see him doing well at liverpool. Glad its not my club he is going to".

    This. Liverpool would be nuts to go for Klopp over Ancellotti. If there is a choice

    Probably cos 'Leeds' got a mention. They don't really get talked about much at all anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,475 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    People who give out about Klopp seem to have zero idea of the work he did with Mainz before Dortmund as well.

    I just roll my eyes a little at the gushing praise Klopp gets from all quarters. He is as likely to be the next David Moyes as he is to be the next Mourinho, I just think people should have a little perspective on the guy.

    There seems to be genuine fear from some posters here that Klopp will go to Liverpool. And its not from Liverpool fans.

    I would love both but if your thinking long term if there is such a thing in todays football world it would have to be klopp.

    No my reservations around Klopp are in the way the Dortmund relationship just petered away in the later years. They were nearly fighting relegation last Christmas. Granted, their team was decimated by Bayern Munich over the years but that is a scenario of which Liverpool would be familiar also.

    In short, Klopp is more of a risk. Ancellotti would be a great appointment.

    He had successful spells at both clubs he has managed. With Dortmund he was incredibly successful.

    Maybe but I wouldnt write Ancellotti off on being up for a long term appointment.

    I am a United fan though so this is all just gurning jealousy :rolleyes:

    You want to turn the search for your new manager into a United-Liverpool thing. Are you ten years old?

    Yeah because I am the one who started it. :rolleyes:

    You'd want to get your eyes checked, you missed a lot of posts.

    AND I'M TEN AND A HALF!! :mad:

    #LFC have made contact with representatives of Jurgen Klopp about the vacant manager's position.

    I'm fairly sure they made contact before and were waiting to get an answer before sacking Rodgers.

    The respectable media are so far off the pace its quite amusing, its as if being a journalist is beyond them. Recycling PR releases is so much less work.

    The thread became a 'United-Liverpool' thing when Zerks, Rayne, FutureGuy an the rest of the United clowns turned up and tried to derail it. It happens seemingly every time a thread is created on this forum and they always seem to get a free pass.

    This thread is as predictable as an episode of Scooby Doo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,210 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Klopp would have the fire in him to make Liverpool great again, he brought Dortmund from 13th to back to back league champions in 3 years. I'm not fully aware of what kind of structures regarding recruitment he had at the club but players have left Klopp and failed miserably only to return, players like Kagawa and Sahin who were coveted by the best teams in Europe.

    FSG will not go out and break the bank for the finished article, it will never happen which is why Ancelotti is not suited. I would love Ancelotti at Liverpool but he is the guy you hire when your world class squad is faltering not one to build a team from mid table capable of challenging on all fronts.

    FSG will want a long term manager, I get the feeling once a bigger job is available Ancelotti would be gone.
