What went wrong there last season? Was it just a case of the club signing poor players and selling their best players like with Rodgers last season?

They had an unbelievable injury crisis in the first half of the season: Reus, Hummels, Kehl, Sahin, Gundogan, Bender, Mkhitaryan and others were injured at some point. When the squad was restored the team climbed the table but it was too late to save their season.

When FSG sacked Kenny we were in the running for Rodgers or Martinez.

With Paul Lambert mentioned as a dark horse.

A more terrifying alternate history than Robert Harris' "Fatherland".

I'm pretty sure Klopp will have unconditional love from me after I watch his first press conference as Liverpool manager.

Our club just keep dishing out the drama, we are the Downton Abbey of football.

My favourite klopp quote

“We took the team to a lake in Sweden where there was no electricity. We went for five days without food. I wanted the team to feel that they can survive everything. My assistant coach thinks I’m an idiot. He asks if we can train there. No. Can we run there? No. But we can swim and fish!”

He's nuts!

TV3 now - "Cant pay, we'll take it away" - about Bailiffs and re-procession and stuff.... Neil Razor Ruddock features... lol...

Lots on Twitter saying that Klopps contract is 3 years plus the remainder of this year. Not bad at all.

NyOmnishambles · 06-10-2015 10:38PM

James Pearce in the Echo saying it will be tied up in the next 24-48 hours

Happy with that

Klopp is a fantastic appointment, shows ambition and I think he will be a rockstar of a manager for us

Everyone going with he will be on Merseyside to complete deal Thursday then unveiled FRiday

Not only does Liverpool need Klopp, but the premier league does. He is going to absolutely light it up. The antidote to Mourinho's crassness, Wenger's seriousness, and the boringness of all the others.

He is 100% box office, and Sky and BT will be creaming themselves.

Harry Palmr · 06-10-2015 10:45PM

Anyone got the TAW chat with Rafa Honigstein?

Grayditch · 06-10-2015 10:46PM

No not be outdone by United getting an established manager and lunatic...

Ulysses Gaze · 06-10-2015 10:46PM

Should he be appointed....I wonder if he'll be celebrating like this when Liverpool score.

If we finish 6th or 7th and don't win a cup will some people seriously be calling for a replacement?

No

It's very hard to stay pragmatic looking at videos of this chap. My preference is changing from Ancelotti to Klopp, when it shouldn't. That said, the fact that we're possibly in contention for either is dreamland stuff at this stage of the game.

Thankfully I'm not pragmatic about Liverpool's "fall from grace". I wouldn't pride myself on being as "realistic" as I could all the time. I still think Liverpool are a massive club, with spending power in the market and on wages and are still a draw for good players, not to mention the stadium getting sorted.

Projection is key from the pitch to the transfer market. Think small, you'll get nothing and you'll deserve as much. I think we could be back soon.

He won't as he'll be saving up the celebration for when we win the champions league days later.

Am I the only one who would prefer Ancelotti?

At the end of the day the manager can only do so much and a big failing of Rodgers (no fault of his) was that he couldn't attract top quality players. I think Ancelotti would still be a bigger draw for potential signings.

Also Klopps last season was a disaster and as raphael honigstein wrote today, getting the players pumped up with brilliant team talks only works for so long until they just aren't receptive.

Obviously I will be delighted with either but I still feel Carlo might be better even given our financial restraints

Harry Palmr · 06-10-2015 11:14PM

Ancelotti is not a development manager, Klopp is and Liverpool are far far from the finished article.
