There is a saying... If not broke, don't try to fix it. We have been uncompetitive for many years. Suddenly, new owners and Klopp come in, and we've been competitive. We don't have the financial powers to do it the City or, even, Arsenal way so we are going to need somebody like Jurgen to continue the journey.

[@shakun10888]

@@user-hz8mt1de7mI think Klopp is a genius. How did he build a powerhouse without the financial backing and resources of a club like Man City? He is going to be very hard to replace. We need another genius like him.

Ange won’t allow himself to leave spurs. The man is so involved and loves the club. Why is this even a discussion?

[@mr-ov5gt]

Cause hes a liverpool fan and liverpool are better project and a bigger club where he will win trophies

[@aaronnilestoussaint5672]

@@mr-ov5gt I honestly dont think so anymore. This liverpool side isnt a better project Spurs will be spending more and have a better younger core. Porro/Johnson/ Kulu/ Udogie/ Romero/Sarr/Benn Tbh if they had a real striker I would say they wouldve did alot better. Liverpool on the other hand is losing Salah next season more than likely Jota and Luis dont look like future stars and Nunez needs another year. you have to find a new CB to pair with VVD and I dont see another manager hiding Trent like Klopp does

Lijnders himself had said several times he doesn't want the job out of respect for Klopp, he wants to off on his own for a bit to build a name for himself. Maybe one day he returns but right now it seems likely it will be Amorim

[@shakun10888]

I don’t know why he wouldn’t stay at Liverpool. Last time I saw them play, Pep was so involved in the tactics and substitutions. He was constantly whispering into Klopp’s ear, advising him on what to do next. I think he is qualified to take over from Klopp.

[@hayderisded6644]

Clearly not a fan then. Whole staff leaving

[@tzetv]

Ange wouldn’t leave without winning trophies at Spurs. He will win, then go and fix Barca - that would cement his legacy

[@BC-mj7gj]

Barca won the league last season and many more past years, not failing to qualify for champions league. It’s crazy how you guys act like Barca have fallen like United or teams like spurs that never won anything.

[@cjewe1z]

Exactly. These mofos are acting like the world is about to end. Klopp is a coach. Many great coaches have come before him and many will come after him. Do you see Madrid fans crying when their coach leaves or get fired? Too many FSG Liverpool act like Liverpool Football Club is a small club.

[@darrenfearon4288]

That does not mean anything, I have never seen Levy back any manager like he has with Ange, he has practically given him players he wanted in Micky Van De Ven, Dragusin , Maddison , Goal keeper and Bredan Johnson, it all depends if Levy will continue like that, If I was a betting man I dont see Levy keeping it up lol

​@isthatmysatay Klopp's sons have always lived in Germany and Ulla is at every home game stop believing that weirdo who is obsessed with him and thinks they know his every move. I know the stewards who work his 'box' at the home games, they speak to Ulla, she misses maybe 3 games max. So she isn't backwards and forwards to Germany at all. I can see her from my seat, she usually wears a red jacket. She has to look after him as he isn't very domesticated. The only time she doesn't attend games is at the end of the season when she's preparing their holiday home and early on September when I think she has to attend something. One son lives in Berlin, the other Frankfurt is what she told the stewards. Him and Edwards hate each other and him returning is a big factor in Klopp leaving. Go and watch his pre Sparta press conference "Michael and I got on...... professionally anyway". If that doesn't convince you I can't help you.

[@face8451]

Why is ange for liverpool he s done nothing.. Fans are so deluded.. A couple of good games then you re the man jeez

[@MrKendavies]

I like Ange but he only has a plan A. Not good enough yet

[@roshi98]

I like Ange but not enough to manage my club. I just don't think he has the tactical nous or vision to build on what Klopp has developed. Very few managers do, but, at a minimum, they have to demonstrate to supporters that their vision is worth giving time to grow into something special. Klopp did that from day one, so we persevered a couple of seasons of rebuilding and were rewarded with some of the best football played by Liverpool in decades. Whoever takes over will be inheriting a side replete with established talent and brilliant potential, but also an ownership group with demanding limitations on spending. I don't see Ange being able to navigate all those dynamics. Our next manager needs to come from a club with proven counter-pressing attacking style and an eye for untapped talent.

[@thehellyousay]

your club. sure, yeah, right ...

[@theconversation.]

I've been following Big Ange since 2012 and ive been against him managing Tottenham. Why, the over entitled, narcisstic and absolute toxic fanbase. Big Ange wins the crowd first and I've questioned why would he even attempt to entertain such a toxic swinging crowd!

You do not even understand the meaning of the indicative verb 'follows' (indicative verb, because it is a fact that Tuchel follows (follows means 'comes after') Klopp... Your limited comprehension skills then inserted 'only' in my statement for whatever reason - perhaps in its desperation to support what you consider logic... Either way: - Klopp manages Mainz, then Tuchel follows (comes after)... - Klopp manages Dortmund, then Tuchel follows (comes after)...
